huh i just wondered something whats the point of opinions...

i mean any opinion whether they be political/game related/etc i mean really

think about it no matter which opinion the majority of people went with enacted has always been the same there has never been a perfect opinion or even most of the time a right opinion and the never will be so whats the point of a opinion at all? other then to piss other people off? maybe im thinking to deeply about this but i just dont see the point in any of these i mean it dosent matter which side you choose if your wrong regardless?

maybe its a human flaw im missing maybe this is just another useless opinion on my opinion on opinions....

i dont wish for people to flame my idea i just wish to be told what im saying is wrong i mean is there any opinion which is actually correct? because if they were correct they would be facts...

Opinions are fun.

If you are undecided about something, it's good to listen to opinions.

Opininons are what make us decide on things and how we deal with sutiations

I disagree with your opinion; opinions are part of what makes us different from each other.ghoklebutter

i just never got opinions i mean if someone didnt have any wouldnt they be happy since there would be nothing to go against there opinions and possibly make them feel less good about themself?fl4tlined

They are very handy in making decisions when faced with a problem with no real right answer.. which happens a lot.

[QUOTE="fl4tlined"] but whats the point of being different other then separating us from each other i dont get it -_-... god this is turning into the final episode of evangelion xDemorainbo

[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"] Just like Obama said: "We can agree without being disagreeable". It's not like one's opinion will ALWAYS piss off another person.

[QUOTE="ghoklebutter"][QUOTE="emorainbo"] Why would you be disagreeable if you already agree? :P

[QUOTE="fl4tlined"][QUOTE="ghoklebutter"] He meant that people should respect others' opinions, even if they disagree with each other.ghoklebutter

but if all you do is disagree with one another dosent it just create confrontation? and lets say in the off chance you actually get someone to change there opinion (very hard) dosent it just go to another arena of unlimited competition with another group of opinions but now you have another person to back you up making your opinion stronger until another more stronger opinion rises up and takes over yours? so technically things either change or stay the same but the change creates a chain of events of unlimited change or stay so it defeats the point of all opinions before the last but since the chain of events never end no one opinion never is correct so there is no purpose if you look at the big picturefl4tlined

Whoa, that flew over my head... O_O

I'll just say that opinions are important if you want to have things go the way you want. Everyone has different desires.

my opinion : something is wrong with TC:?

The freedom of having a say.

Cherish it and use it. Without it you wouldn't be worth anything and you wouldn't be able to make a difference. Thoughts would be kept hidden, knowledge would cost money.

but whats the point of desire where does it originate from i almost feel bad for rapist or serial killers because arent there opinions just as valid as everyone elses its just society has opinions which they as a whole find valued but even those crumble over time very short increments of time compared to the big picture so when a person has a desire to rape someone the person being raped has the opinion of not wanting to but overall isnt the rapies physical force over the raped just another way of changing opinions? im only thinking about his logically not that i wish to rape or kill peoplefl4tlined

Desire is a fancy word for "want", a word that can't easily be expained. You want pizza. You might want ice cream as well. What does "want" mean to you?

Just because they have opinions, doesn't mean that they are necessarily better. If I can prove that my opinion is right - in this case, rape and murder are bad things - the other person's opinion is void and null.

And no, a rapist raping a another person is not raping because he wants to change her opinion on e.g. forced sex. Many rapists simply crave power by humiliating their victims. In any case, it's not a matter of persuasion.

My opinions are always right, and people who have different opinions than mine only have different opinions because they are wrong.Nerd_Man

but how can you just prove someones opinion null and void if they technically believe they them self have the right opinion even after all this is done what your saying is that your opinion is no longer a opinion but is now a fact by saying rape is bad now that there opinion that its null and void..

but rape isnt just there i mean it use to be acceptable to go rape a village of people back in the day after taking it over but now it isnt socially acceptable so it isnt a fact therfore there opinion isnt the right opinion at that time and place.. fl4tlined

1. That's where the majority comes into play. Tomorrow will always be determined by the people of today, hence why opinions always change.

2. I don't think rape was ever socially acceptable, just more tolerated more.

2. Opinions do not suffice by themselves. They must be backed up by evidence, logic and reasoning. A person who says the sky is green is certainly wrong because he can be proven wrong through science, even if he's colorblind.

There isn't really a point to it, people just end up having different ideas, beliefs, interests, etc.

Not much thinking to do about it really. Just happens.

There are true opinions... They're called facts :P

But of course there's a point to opinions, they divide people into different groups which leads to friendships and relationships and all that fun stuff. Without opinions, we'd be a very boring society.

Correct opinions don't exist however you can give a truthful opinion. For example if i said "In my opinion metal is the most enjoyable music genre" then that would be an honest opinion and so you could then say it was a fact that metal is the music genre that i enjoy the most.markop2003

i guess my question is how do people form opinions in the first place if deep down they know what they think has a logic issue with it and isnt the correct answerfl4tlined
