Opinions


Is it even possible to have an opinion without name calling and legitimately believing that your opinion is a solid fact anymore?

The level of ignorance and arrogance coming from people who are much too old to know better is almost astounding.

Thoughts?

I'm talking about the general population.

Choose a movie for example, any movie will do. Go to the boards and you'll see people acting as if they're factually correct over an opinion and name-calling/hurling insults to try to make their point.
The same goes for anything, really. Any YouTube video will do as well. Music, film, sports...anything.
Anywhere people have the opportunity to interact.

If I was talking about a specific person (people), I would have included their names in my post for sure. I'm not much for ambiguity, tbh.

I have a theory that some of this extreme negative reaction business ( for instance the irrational and factually insupportable abuse hurled at Daisy Ridley over her performances as Rey in the Star Wars films ) is part of a deliberate and co-ordinated campaign to sow discord and disunity amongst the population in general.

In my opinion chocolate is WAY better than vanilla and that's a fact...

Unless the vanilla is in a waffle cone because that changes the game I believe...

Did you just put crumbled chocolate chip cookies on that chocolate ice cream?!?

Now you're just trying to screw with me🤯

reply

Lol. I see what you did there.

That is your opinion and that's a fact.
At least you can enjoy chocolate without insulting vanilla lovers.

Almost unheard of these days.

I used to believe that completely but now I love vanilla ice cream. I also love chocolate Ice cream. Didn't solve a damn thing, did I.

Well, you showed you care by trying👍

I believe that it can, we just have to make it so.

An era where every idiot can immediately declare their opinions is a high speed path to public discord and destruction. Imagine a room containing every obnoxious opinionated loudmouth in the world and remove any semblance of order, now ask them what they think - about anything.
This is the internet.
Abject stupidity reigns supreme.
Pathetic.

I couldn't have worded it better. Even if I tried.

Humans as a group are no more intelligent than sheep. Dumb, panicky animals not to be trusted with their own lives. Mob mentality studies have proven this fact over and over.
I'm SO happy to be a loner lol.

I THINK YOU ARE ALL WRONG.

reply

At least you're aware it's simply a thought, and not factual.
A step in the right direction for sure.

Did you know that the male octopus during mating will sometimes get too amorous and try to mate with the female too many times and her response is to strangle him with her tentacles then take his body back to her den to feed on for days? That’s astounding.

The rest is just the internet.

Life is too short to fight about things. You can have a difference of opinion and still be nice about it.

yes, stay strong, 'sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me'... which implies that at some stage they probably will, on some level if not all ..anyway depends on what your opinion is - is the opinion in its self a name call ........or is it just a thanks Ma'am on the end of your opinion, decent or indecent or just the plain old 'truth' with 'reason' and 'knowledge' all round 'one's' likely to differ so differentiate if y0u will
