So because you have been to university 'thrice' and work in education, it means that your opinion is more valid?. Working in media means that I understand how newspaper and television can manipulate how someone is portrayed, to the viewing public.

My opinion on Cher has nothing to do with me working in media, my opinion is based on the fact that I watched the X factor and didn't like her, nor do I think she is as talented as you are making her out to be.

Secondly I didn't say anything about your use of vocabulary, in fact I find it refreshing to have a debate with some one who knows how to form proper sentences.

I do however find it quite amusing that you think because your arguments are 'balanced and lacking in invective and rhetoric' that it makes them any more valid than mine or anybody else who has posted on here. Your occupation in the education shouldn't render my opinion null and void either...and I merely stated the 'ipod' comment because I find it inconceivable that you seem to have good taste in music in some instances (merely commenting on this from some of the people who you have mentioned, who are on your ipod), yet seem to think Cher is also a great talent- it's just odd!

I find the way you have argued your point quite aggressive in that you seem to think by using certain words I won't understand that you actually think I'm stupid and threatened; of which I can assure you I am neither. (I am now laughing out loud- is that less juvenile and dumb for you?)
