Her right to say such a thing is equal, but the validity of what she says is hardly equal. On this issue, someone that has followed the band, read books about them, followed articles, etc, against someone who admits to not having followed the band or even reading about them...regardless of the age, the fact this is a message board, or anything of the like...the first person's opinion is far more valuable and valid than the second person's.

Three pages! And I just thought the story was kind of humorous! Maybe it's just a slow news cycle. Shalom, It IS kind of humorous, but some people want to make an argument about sharing opinions. <sigh> So what else is new around here? Simple - your opinion doesn't matter and isn't valid. You admit to being ignorant about Bono, ergo your opinion is not valid. It really is a non-issue. You brought it up, you wanted to harp on how your opinion is valid. No one tried to say anything on the opposite, but hey, if you want to debate it, let's. A person who admits to being ignorant on a topic will have an opinion that is less valid than someone who is well read on the topic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
