You clearly don't know Opera, then.

Les Miserable is considered Opera, and I don't recall seeing any fat people in the cast.

You like Opera singing? That surprises me.

Not that I listen to it all the time, or that I’m going to be able to tell you names, but yes.

A well deserved kudos. I love Opera.

BUT, It is a bit fucking cartoonish in a SOAP OPERA WHEN, instead of doing a screen shot of a text message on the device, you put a bubble graphic up as if it were the Coyote holding up a sign saying "Yikes". 

That is as annoying to me as the "first down" graphic in the NFL...... NO IT IS NOT ON THE FIELD. 

The only time you put bubbles up in a show or movie is when IT IS A COMEDY!

IT LOOKS FUCKING STUPID! If you have a dramatic "text" convey the screen on the device, as it would be looking at it yourself. DON'T PUT UP A IMAGINARY BUBBLE, IT LOOKS FUCKING STUPID!

I don’t watch tv much but I agree with you in theory

Okay, this just confuses me.

I was looking up "opera" online, and I saw titles that just don't compute to what I consider opera.

Then there's one answer, "It's technically not an opera, because there are no spoken words."

WTF, opera is singing. It's not spoken word.

I will inform you of what I personally consider my favorite operas.

Les Miserable
Phantom of the Opera

I'm certain many would consider them musicals; I just don't.

I'm not a huge fan of musicals; although there is a few I have liked.  It bugs me, when they are singing something that the singing just doesn't fit, and talking would be better.  
Also, thinking on it more, rather than opera, it would probably be more accurate to say that I like classical singing.

Also like rock opera.

My whole life is a lie.

I just learned that the "op" in Op-Ed isn't short for opinion.

It's short for opposite. Panic

I feel like this is way more bombastic than text bubbles in the soap opera.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
