A person who found it useless, I imagine. Laughing

Such statements amuse me. I always wonder why the speaker is too chicken to add "In my opinion...". Why do such speakers try to pretend that such personal statements have value for all? Odd?

Really? So such statements never need to be qualified by "in my opinion...", right?

Not if you're confident enough to say what you think.

So tell us what YOU think, Ralf. Do you agree with the "confident" statement that all art is useless?
