That's Just Your Opinion!

Janus

There is a scourge across our fair board, a scourge so devious and so malicious that it seems to infect every last member. It's a parasite that seems to grow stronger and stronger as leaps voraciously from one host to another...

 

What is this deadly parasite? It's called an opinion.

 

An opinion is a deadly and cruel thing, and anyone with an opinion should be openly mocked and ridiculed, for this is the only cure for such an infectious disease. Only with this cleansing fire can the parasite be killed and those who began to think all sorts of strange things (Such as the fact that they should be able to think what they want!) will be returned to normality.

 

Should you see anyone with an opinion I implore you to attack them from a safe distance, barrage them insults and demean everything about them you can! Above all, however, do not engage them in intelligent conversation, that is how the virus spreads--and sooner than you think you'll find yourself infected with an opinion as well!

 

 

 

 

......For those of you cannot tell, the above is complete and utter sarcasm--but not really so far from what I've seen on the boards. EVERYONE is entitled to their opinion: Be it something you approve of or not, however lately I've seen the word "opinion" thrown around like it's the deadliest of insults.

 

"That's just your opinion!"

 

Understand that what you're really saying here is "Shut up and conform. Be just like me"

 

Well I HAVE an opinion and I encourage all of you who do to stand up for yourself and your opinion.

 

Oh yeah, and I greatly dislike the '08 sets and storyline.

 

That's opinion for ya

Hmmm...I don't have a problem with the '08 storyline! Of course...I also don't know what's happening in it at all...so that may be why. :psychotwitch:

 

And the Nuva are not the Nuva. :(

Yeah, down with conformism.

:P

You're right on the money, again, Janus. That being said, I do like the 2008 sets and storyline, so there you go. That's the whole idea. Everyone does have a right to their opinion.

AN OPINION?

GASP! HERESY!!!!

BURN THE WITCH!

 

Never mention when you're being sarcastic, particularly if you're going to be mindblowingly sarcastic. You'll get greater lulz that way.

Yeah, it's crazy when people don't accept other's opinions. It's nice when there's discussion to try to see the other end too.

It's bad when one tries to impose their opinion without thinking of the other.

THANK YOU, JANUS.

 

Adding on to CF's comment, it's ridiculous when people dismiss a suggestion contrary to what they like as "that's just your opinion." Yes it bloody well is my opinion, but does that fact make it worthless, heinous, and invalid of recognition?

That's just your opinion! >:(

 

No, seriously, I see this way too much in "Sets". What else is new, though?

 

Has "Sets" always been like it is now?

No. Sets has never been one of the best forums, but it has never before reached the level of groupthink that we see filling it now.

This sarcasme is worthy of an award.

At this rate, the word 'opinion' will be added to the filter.

It's such a shame we can't really do anything against this mass of conformists, can we?

EXTREEEEEME!!!

I do not agree, but I understand your reasons for not liking it, and I respect your opinion.

 

Well, of course it's my opinion. Whose else would it be?

...You know, I was thinking about that exact same sentence when I typed the above sentence....

Definately -- and another problem is that the word "opinion" means two nearly-opposite things a lot of times -- it can mean "personal taste" or it can mean "theory about reality". As I make clear in this blog entry: Can Opinions Be Wrong?

 

So I'm a little tired of hearing the phrase "that's just your opinion" too, although for slightly different reasons. :P

 

And with no further ado:

Wait, so if I were to say that it's my opinion that your opinion is worthless, heinous, and invalid of recognition, exactly how much worth would my opinion have...? I'm confused...

You do realise you kept mentioning how everything was "my opinion" in That Talkback topic, right? :P
