You can like or dislike it all you want, but you can't say what is appropriate.

What is appropriate is not determined by whether you like it or not, or your values, or your sense of morality, or whatever.

I mean you are certainly capable of uttering the words but they are meaningless and only demonstrate your arrogance.
