Holier then thouFollow

Anyone notice that there are a couple of "Holier then thou" people on this forum? It's kinda scary, people come here to post their opinions then some *** comes along and points out how they are wrong in every way. I thought an opinion was the posters own thoughts.. how can they be wrong? I know I'm going to get rated down... by one person in particular, who is the biggest *** on this forum, but oh well. I just find things like that interesting. It's like they think everyoe else is beneath them... quite entertaining really... Ok.. you may now go back to your regularly scheduled flaming and general **************

*nearly falls out of my chair laughing*

Opinions can be wrong. Happens all the time. If you share your opinion in an open forum, you're giving a green-light to anyone who disagrees to share their own opinion, and tell you why they believe yours isn't as valid.

actually opinions cant be wrong..

i belive cats > dogs... thats my opinion..

now if i said it as "cats ARE greater than dogs" stating it as a FACT.. thats when its not longer an opinion and can be treated as 'right and wrong'

otherwise, my prefernce for cats over dogs.. or my opinions about rdm.. or my thoughts concerning other things... theyre all opinions and thoughts and prefernces... not facts.. and therefore can not be right or wrong

lmao! i love that picture of teh pope..

classic!

Oh, I know man :) I'm not trying to be one of those people here, lord knows there's a lot of that going on. All I'm saying is that when it comes to expressing opinions on the internet, you always have to go into it assuming someone will disagree with you, even if for no better reason than they think they see a chance to 1-up someone.



In terms of personal preference, no, an opinion can't be wrong because the valuation is arbitrary.

Not all opinions are about preference though. An opinion is a belief held without factual knowledge. It could be your opinion, for instance, that cats are more intelligent than dogs. That's an opinion that can be proven or disproven. Stating it as fact doesn't change it's status as an opinion, because it's not based on factual knowledge, just your personal observations.

Just to make this more clear.. no one that has posted thus far was the "one person"

As far as opinions being wrong, they simply can't be. Now if someone stated their opinion as fact, as someone posted earlier then yes, it can be wrong. I'm just sick of people arguing for the sake or arguing and to make themselves feel smarter or more important then they really are

oooh ooh is it me? i like to cause trouble!

/em crosses his fingers.

Ok you made a post to say you were mad at someone, but you're not going to tell us who it is. What's worse than a flame thread? An anonymous flame thread lol. All eyez on me i guess. That's really... mature.

Want me to pass her a note at recess?

Can your dad beat his dad up?

Grow up.

*sighs* This post wasn't about starting a flame war, or pointing fingers, which is why I haven't and won't mention anyone's name... because it is simply my opinion. I just think it is sad when people come here for guidance, to pose questions, or simply write soething, and they are berated. It's just sad. And I respect the opnion of the last two posters, but in my thoughts I think you misunderstood.. but oh well ^^ No worries

im confused...

are you guys actualy disagreeing on how to disagree?
