Not wanting to be too controversial, but does that have any bearing on him having an opinion on BB?

So what? He has an opinion ...........it's as valid as anyone else's isn't it? At least i recognise him ...................I don;t recognise half the folks on that show ...............who's the pink haired bimbo.

They all have opinions like all of us ..............just because it doesn't always agree with our own doesn't make the opinions invalid does it?

I was just going to ask the same

they are all cretins on that show...
that stupid bint with the flower in her hair
and Davina clearly fancies him -god I HATE her,

No but he gets on my tits...My opinion!...

Actually IMO (LOL) if the opinion is morally reprehensible then yes it does make it invalid.

and mine he's an absolute fool

That's very subjective, but I'll go along with it.

I'm not sure an opinion can ever be invalid on the grounds of it being morally reprehensible, if you think about it.  It can be ignored but it still exists.  If it's conclusion follows logically from it's premises then it is valid. 

that's way too deep for me at this time of night

As everything.

Bateman stop showing off..

Okay.... if I were to say that IMO paedophiles are okay just have different sexual practices, would my opinion be valid?

Everyone's got an opinion of course, but some people should be told what their opinion is instead of troubling their three brain cells trying to blurt one out.

Bateman - I think what you are trying to say is that "Opinions are like arseholes, everybody has one".

I don't know of the arguments that might be used in that situation to judge that.  Validity just implies internal logic.  That is all.  Something can be valid but morally repugnant. 

Orrr there is this. 

what do you mean by valid though? What would you say defines validity?

I managed to catch myself before replying to someone on another thread excusing JJ's behaviour because he was fit. I was going to ask if they would applaud the behaviour of a certain gentleman during world war 2 if he had been 'fit'. It's the most pathetic excuse for forgiving vile behaviour I've ever heard.

Agreed.

My late mother lived in the USA during the time of  the Ted Bundy(College) killings and she could never get over the many women who refused to believe he had killed because he was "cute". Disclaimer: Not comparing John James to an American serial killer.

I've already said - internal logic.  If it can be said that premiseA plus premiseB could lead to C,D,E or Z or whatever, it has logic and is valid.  To say something is valid doesn't imply agreement nor social or moral acceptability.  At all.

What the hell are we talking about this for?   

Spoilsport 

As 99% of people now walk about with a phone clamped to their ears like they think they are in charge of pressing the nuclear button, someone wants to tell Mr Joly that bellowing into a mobile phone was not funny just disgustingly prophetic.

<begin. I hate mobile phones and most mobile phone users </end>

None of you are that important, seriously NONE of you. *ducks*
