Oh come on!
this isn't the damn thought police.
If I can sit at home and wonder what A thinks about B, I can ask the tarot cards about it too.
Ok, it probably wont be useful, and any answer I get will probably be biased, but I can do it if I want to. It's not like it's a crime or anything.
And anyway, Maybe I don't want to know how to improve things, or whatever. If I want to know what A thinks about B then that's what I want to know and that's what I will ask.
Half of this thread seem to be 'how to fiddle the question so I can still ask what I want while remaining politically correct'.
And that's just stroking you own ego, that's just saying 'I don't ask bad or unethical questions like other people do' while actually asking it in a different way so you can feel good about yourself and still get what you want.
Semantics.
This is the tarot, this is a wicked pack of cards, this is the devils picture book. Sod ethics, sod being politically correct, ask what you want.
