Opinion


From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia




For other uses, see Opinion (disambiguation).
 
In general, an opinion is a subjective belief, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. Opinions are never right or wrong, they are merely a figment of what someone believes. However it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by brown townysing the supporting arguments.[1] In casual use, the term opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. It may refer to unsubstantiated information, in contrast to knowledge and fact-based beliefs.
 
Collective or professional opinions are defined as meeting a higher standard to substantiate the opinion. (see below)


The purpose of this topic is to try to drill some sense into the more or less handicapped douchebags on this forum that are too stupid to realise what "Opinion" means.
