If you are a government employee here to influence public opinion, say something about "tin foil hats" or "staying on meds" or just say "no".
The reason I asked this is because whenever a question is asked about something that is politically incorrect, there's a flurry of answers involving "tin foil hats" and "stay on your meds".
The ridicule is always way more intense than the question would ilicit in polite society.
It just "feels" like there's an overt effort to steer people's opinion.

You see what I mean?
Read the vehement denials below and tell me someone doesn't have a vested interest in debunking this assertion!
The answers aren't framed from an opinion standpoint (gee, I don't think so), they ridicule and belittle to the point of rudeness!

Your question is totally unfair. As written, either the responders agree with you or they are automatically designated as a "government employee" and, therefore, implied to be evil.

Did this come to you through your tin foil hat, or did you forget to take your meds this morning?
Buddy - it is HUMAN nature to try and argue others to your side of the opinion pool. It has nothing to do with working for the government.
Glen b: you forgot the end of that saying: "And they all stink."

people are freeer to state opinions here....they can let their hair down, and not worry about being politically correct....
not me though...i am the epitome of politically incorrect...here and rt...doesn't matter...if someone asks...or says something i disagree with? i let them know...and usually why i feel the way i do...
and btw...this is a forum to "steer" people's opinions...it is open to debate and wouldn't it be a dull place if everyone agreed? who whould even want to post here if someone posted something and everyone else said "oh my yes! i agree! you are brilliant and should be canonized!" that would grow very old...very quickly....
just don't take yourself seriously...if someone is a raving liberal..or a consciencious conservative...you will never change their minds...
but ain't it fun exchangin' messages?

Yeah, I've asked the same question...I'm amazed at the amount of Bush supporters on here...and some of the things they say...they can't be real people...
