No you didn't have to, you chose to, it's forcing others to adapt to a paradigm of your creation, like I said before, a control fixation.No, because it was a fair question, it had fair conditions. Like any OP, you have a choice not to answer the question.
Look, nothing is black and white. My question is about credibility. Just because you are giving policies that you like about a politician, it doesn't necessarily mean you support him/her overall.If you can't fully answer this question, then you do not have an informed opinion about Obama, and therefore have no business in criticizing him.
Yup, fair alright......
Okay, then answer me this: what is a fair number if it is not 5? What, in your opinion, should it be then? I had to pick some number, right?
And that's the real point you're missing, it honestly has nothing to do with the random number you chose it has to do with the snipet I quoted and bolded, i.e anyone can have an informed opinion without meeting your arbitrary qualification and that should be plainly (and painfully) obvious to anyone claiming critical (objective) reasoning.
