opinion
geogeo222:
Neat topic. I was thinking on these lines the other day. all opinions imply a goal or a standard of some sort, whether that standard is just for you or meant to be applied more generally. In this way all opinions are, in fact, a statement of some sort of fact (it could be right or wrong).
Most things that people really like to argue about are opinions or ideas on morality that are meant to be applied to society at large. A lot of people when they argue will try to defend their shitty statements with the assertion that 'it's just an opinion, there is no wrong or right', as if they should be free from criticism. But if there is no wrong or right, then they wouldn't be trying to defend their dumb rule they're trying to convince everyone to follow in the first place. Often times these people are trying to uphold a questionable standard. Sometimes they have no idea what they're trying to uphold.
When you argue about opinions such as that you also have to argue about what kind of moral standard we should be upholding. The wonderful thing is that if we can come together and agree on a standard or a goal, opinions dissolve away, and you can figure out what the right course of action should be, and all that's left is a 'correct' opinion that we call a fact.
This is why I've fallen kind of out of favor with 'opinions' lately. Opinions are for when you can't find agreement with others, when people can't agree on the common good, the standard that is good for everybody. I believe that in not all, but many issues this is something that exists.
I hope you all will look forward to my upcoming thesis on this topic. :Kappa:
Swordslinger:
Word of the wise
DON'T share opinions
Otherwise if you have a different view than others, you will have your door knocked on by people with pitchforks and torches.
Trust me, you don't want that.
^.^

That's a terrible lesson, Swordslinger.
If your opinions make people that angry, maybe you should consider revising them, or talking about them in a better way.
No one can make you keep your opinion to yourself.
Swordslinger:
Good lesson time then, don't take sarcastic statements seriously. ^.^
Though sometimes, that isn't entirely true since if you can find evidence and even put it nicely then, you can still get hated for speaking in serious terms, it may reduce the chances sure, but it can still happen and in some cases most likely will happen if it is an opinion that is 90% loved, it just depends on how much you are willing to soften the blow, and on a basic scale, it can be from a regular "I hate you" or an essay that would make dark souls hate mail seem like a compliment.
The off topic posts do encourage a bit of nonsense, if this was something like general discussion i would have posted something serious and this is the only serious thing i'm saying about this because honestly, have a little fun and do what you find fun, from our gaps we are basically 2 opposites but i wont hate you for it. Just want to let you know that what you called me out on was a sarcastic, non serious statement and this is a serious reply.
|->Now lets not be serious<-|, opinions are banned everywhere, you gotta have one, but it has to be the majority and if it isn't your as good as dead :)
