I think i'm qualified to have an opinion. I think the government are **** but do I have to be a politician to think that?? Your argument is ridiculous.

I wasn't aware I was arguing. I am curious to know your thinking. Mere opinions are like arses..... everyone's got one!

Presumably when you go to your GP you argue the toss with him/her as to what your medical problem is and what medication or treatment you should get.... and you rubbish their opinion, if it's not in accordance with your unqualified diagnosis?

That's a bit different to psychology though - which with all due respect to psychologists is never an exact science. At best they can be incredibly helpful and even life changing to bounce ideas off, talk with and get to the root of issues. At worse they get rich off listening half heatedly and dispensing some routine advice at the end of it.

Some of them are compassionate, intelligent people. Some should be out under the tend with the palm readers and jugglers. It is not an exact science and asking someone are they 'qualified' to go up against a TV psychologists opinions is ridiculous.

It's not like you're telling a qualified surgeon how to make an incision. You're simply having an opinion ... on someones opinion about somebody. Whilst coming at it from the perspective of "but he doesn't like my favorite housemate!" is certainly dubious if that is indeed the case - nevertheless let's stop pretending it's some mad ass leap of faith to disagree or have an opinion on Channel 5's crack team of mind probes. They've taken a job with the same producers who allowed Lauren Harries in a TV house. I doubt their sense of professional ethic is particularly arousing.

That's not a like for like comparison.

You can have an opinion, but thinking someone else talks "complete crap" purely because they have a different opinion/perspective to you is ridiculous.

As though you are completely right and anyone who disagrees is wrong.
