    Somethings been bugging me lately, thought I'd share it.


    Thanks to modern liberalism (all on board with that btw) everyone gets an opinion. Cool, go ahead, share you thoughts, express yourself, convince others, gather a cult of personality or whatever the hell.

    What really pisses me off is when people take this and decide it means they can say whatever retarded idiocy they feel like and expect it to be treated as if it wasn't completely stupid.

    Idiot: Well I think they're like the Nazis.
    Me: But that makes no sense, their policies are nothing like the Nazis.
    Idiot: Yeah well thats my opinion.
    Me: Its a ridiculous thing to say.
    Idiot 2: Hey shut up, he gets an opinion just like everybody else.
    Me: Ok, can you explain why you think they're like the Nazis?
    Idiot: I said its just my opinion OK?!
    Idiot 2: Its just his personal opinion.
    Zillah: But...I'd like to know how he came to this position.
    Idiot: I'm just saying, thats what I personally think.
    *Zillah kills them both with an axe*


    I don't know if this is just some weird thing that annoys me or if anyone else has noticed it.

    To the inescapable posters who will start trolling along the lines of "Its just his opinion!" etc; I slept with your mother and she was terrible.

    Mostly qft, but your opinion that their idiocy is retarded is interesting. I was wondering what kind of medical background you have that you were able to diagnose this? :)

    Or is that just your personal opinion?

    If you kill them, then you're as bad as the Nazis, you are, IMHO.

    You're right, it is very annoying that every imbecile out there uses the "It's my opinion" line to justify half-baked beliefs. What a lot of people don't realise is that their opinions are wrong.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    True, unfortunately you do get morons like that scattered all over the goddamn place.

    MarkR is right, what kind of background of medical history do you have to diagnose these "retards", have you had the proper procedures to diagnose their mental health?

    Or is that just your opinion? :D

    I like, when quoting yourself, the way you switch to Zillah when it's time to kill them with an axe.

    Split-personality-psycho much?

    I knew that, just wasn't bothered to quote it, 'twas referenced or at least the reference was implicit so gurr-ova-it!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,186 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    Just tell them its your personal opinion they're both idiots. That usually shuts them up.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,443 ✭✭✭✭bonkey


    Agree that everyone is entitled to an opinion, and in your opinion they should be willing to explain how they arrived at it.

    If they continue moaning in a Godwins-Law manner, then comment that of course they're entitled to an opinion, but that doesn't mean their opinion is worth anything.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 16,397 ✭✭✭✭Degsy


    People that have an opinion of hitler are worse than hitler.

    Blessed are those with an incredibly low IQ, their's is the gift of unquestioned free speech?;)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 760 ✭✭✭TheAlmightyArse


    Ah, but are they idiots? Explaining the basis of an opinion can break it down to something objective, which is not opinion at all.

    They're like the Nazis. But in what way? If they mean that they wear similar shoes or enjoy goosestep, then you can explain that such things are not opinion, as they could be either verified or contradicted by evidence, reasoning or scientific experimentation.

    Perhaps the "idiot" knows this. Perhaps they don't know that their reasoning definetely is flawed, but that it very well could be. And so they disguise it as opinion, thus staying one step ahead of you in the game. Zillah, you have been outwitted, by an idiot mastermind.

    It also does not mean it is worthless either. An opinion's worth is decided by the listener/reader and as such no-one can call it truly worthless.

    My opinion.:)

    I'm oddly pleased at how this turned out...

    Indeed. And considering this idiot mastermind is a being of my invention, I have in essence out-witted myself.
