But since I'm not biased and ridiculous (protip: Gaga may be one of my faces, but I think Born This Way is one of her worst songs, so no bias there), I was able to look at both songs from an objective standpoint.

I'm just going to ignore your first point, since no matter how many times I tell you that, yes, I did in fact notice that similarities between "Born This Way" and "Express Yourself" the very first time I heard the song—how could you not when they're that obvious?—you're clearly not going to believe me. (By the way, I was using "complete rip-off" as in "definite" not "100%." That poor choice of wording is my fault, but it does not change that the chorus of "Born This Way" sounds like "Express Yourself" for the techno generation.)
I'd rather like to address your attitude instead. I don't know anything about you or your musical background or what you like, so I want attack the "knowledge" that you're throwing around so freely. But
conversely, you also know nothing about me or my musical background or what I like. So for you to be acting like this godlike presence who is somehow honoring us plebeian idiots by even bothering to share your genius with us? Get over yourself. I come here for discussion, not to be condescendingly lectured to. If you want to talk to me like the intelligent, educated individual that I am, I'm happy to listen. But I'm not going to take your utter disrespect.
