Opinions that are wrong

Teabags most likely contain the waste & floor sweepings after the real (loose) tea is packaged.
Brilliant idea and a promotion for the worker that thought of it first day.
I'd say he doubled the income of the tea importers.
Tea bags my arse.
Real tea for real tea drinkers comes in loose packages, that's why there's strainers in tea pots.

Counterpoint - All tea is sh*te.

I love the way on social media I say IN MY EXPERIENCE this or that happenes, and someone else says YOU ARE WRONG! and tried to contradict everything I say. How does this work when they are NOT me?

Your opinion is wrong there.

An opinion is never wrong, just ill-informed.

Everyone can have an opinion, even if its a **** one.

"It's ok to drive on a learner licence on my own as it's not my first"

I hear that so often and it's just wrong. System should be scrapped and only driving with a qualified instructor allowed until you pass your test.

The earth is flat. The Government is controlling us via 'chemtrails'. Bush 'did' 9/11.

Those are seriously disturbing and very wrong opinions.

Not too horrified that someone thinks Lidl's version of Aero tastes like the real deal. I'm sure they're close enough that some will and some won't.

Some people think that Coke and Pepsi taste similar, despite Pepsi's unique taste and obvious superiority.

People telling you that you're full of sh1t is an attack of your 'free speech'.

Well with taste, people's palettes differ so things that taste the same to one person might taste different to another.

And a lot of things are even more subjective than that again. Is there anything worse or more childish than a person shutting someone else down with a " Yeah well your opinion is wrong!"? Demonstrate why it's wrong, form an argument, don't just tell someone their opinion is wrong.

Same and similar do not mean the same thing. Similarity can be subjective.

I think you mean "things that taste similar to one person."

No, I meant what I wrote.

It's a subjective opinion, more of a preference really, so he is right.

If his opinion is based on fact, then he would be wrong. For example if he said that Leitrim are traditionally a better team than Kerry in football he would be wrong.

But if he was to say it's his opinion that strawberry ice cream is better than chocolate, then that's his subjective opinion and he's right as far as his preferences are concerned.

I think this is a good post. Sometimes you can make a good argument against an opinion.

But sometimes, no matter how wrong you think they are, there's really no way to argue with them. There is nothing to say except 'You're wrong.'

Anyone that prefers Pepsi to Coke is not to be trusted

They probably preferred Blur too...

As a mate of mine once said to someone he disagreed with..'you're entitled to be wrong'.
