This is the problem right here.

YOU think this discussion on this music video is objective and it is not. How are people's opinion on the video objective? -rhetorical question

I could say Nikki is acting like a slut in the video based on my own opinion and it still would not be objective.

I think Nikki is degrading herself whether she feels that way or not.

That is an opinion. It does not matter whether the issue is on degradation or not.

It does not matter whether she feels that way or not because that is my opinion which I formed after watching the video.

I watched the video and I formed my own opinion.

This entire conversation is subjective.

The fact that you think Nikki is the only person who gets to decide whether she is degrading herself or not is in fact subjective because that is YOUR opinion.

When was that a question? This was never a question.

My first response to this video was "Very degrading". You can scroll back to my very first post on this discussion. I never asked a question.

I flat out gave my opinion on what I saw in the video.

You seem to have a hard time deciphering the difference between objective and subjective responses.

You are misinterpreting my responses and making up what you want from this discussion. No where have I asked that question.

I simply gave my opinion on the video which you seem to think you have some type of authority over.

You do not get to decide what is subjective or objective when it comes down to opinions.

This was never a question that was asked. I simply stated that Nikki was degrading herself and you simply disagreed with it.

This debate is about whether a person is entitled to express whether someone is degrading themselves or not (expressing an opinion) or is it only up to the person in question.

You feel it is only up to the person in question which is beyond absurd because everyone is entitled to have their own opinion whether good or bad.

There are no questions that were asked and Nikki's response to this question is irrelevant because it still would not change the fact that people are entitled to form their own opinion about what she is doing in the video based on her behavior in the video.

If you agreed that people have a right to form their own opinions on what she does, being she is a public figure, why do you continue to argue against people insisting she is degrading herself? Is that not an opinion someone is forming based on the video?

I most certainly do have the right to form my own opinion on a video that she has made for public consumption regardless whether she feels she is degrading herself or not.

I think it is sad that you honestly believe nobody is entitled (including yourself) to state an opinion that she is degrading herself in the video.

I am trying to get you to understand that her opinion and what she feels is irrelevant because whatever opinion that you form is in fact your opinion. It would not matter what she feels.

This is not an question for Nikki. I watched the video and thought it was very degrading that is simply an opinion I have on the video.

Anybody can form an opinion about anything. Now I personally feel it is never good to judge anybody as a HUMAN BEING especially if you do not know them personally which is quite different from this discussion.

I am not judging her personally or as a person. I simply stated that the music video which she is marketing for the public is very degrading, which it is.

This discussion is about people giving their opinions on a music video, period. I could care less what Nikki thinks of MY opinion on a music video that SHE wants the public (which I am included in) to watch.

If she wants me to watch this video than she needs to be prepared for MY opinion on it regardless of what she thinks about the video.
