"but that's just my opinion"

Verbatim · December 20, 2015, 03:27:21 PM

oh, i thought it was someone else's opinion

thank you for clarifying

thank you for telling me that your opinion was indeed an opinionated statement

if you hadn't done that, i'd have to accuse you of stating your opinion as a fact

which, as we all know, is an unconscionable e-crime of the highest calibre

because instead of me using context clues and common sense to glean that you were stating an opinion

i need the obvious stated to me clearly and repeatedly to figure it out

and even though i'm obviously intelligent enough to figure out that you weren't trying to say your opinion is a fact

i'm still going to act like there's anything wrong with stating opinions without tacking "that's my opinion" at the end

because i'm an idiot

why do people think like this

Verbatim · December 20, 2015, 03:29:00 PM

star wars is lame and stupid and bad

do you really need me to add "in my opinion" at the end

does it just shatter your whole constitution if i don't

why

You're really the biggest moron on this site.

And that, my friend, is a fact.

But verb, all your opinions are fact and we know it

True Turquoise · December 20, 2015, 03:49:10 PM

Its a way to say what you want without starting a fight, but thats just my opinion.

Word Wizard · December 20, 2015, 03:55:43 PM

The instances I've seen people use are to diminish responsibility for the consequences of their advice. Like, "I would do this this way, but that's my opinion". So if you do it and it fucks up, well it's your fault for taking one dude's opinion

It shows that you are able to withstand disagreement on the subject and you know other people think differently.

does it though? i just think it's an insult to your intelligence

i think not stating it shows that you have conviction, and that you're not afraid of disagreement

A subjective matter. You see it that way, whereas others will see it as just making something clear: this isn't worth fighting or arguing about.

A lack of any training in formal logic is probably what causes people to say stupid shit like that.

MATHS.

I'm just terrible at being argumentative and so it's something I'm trying to work on not doing

The Lord Ruler · December 20, 2015, 04:29:39 PM

Well that's just like, your opinion man.

Ingy · December 20, 2015, 04:31:14 PM

Because you don't want to appear like you're stating your opinion as fact
So you can have a debate without having it turn into an insult battle

But you wouldn't know since you just say whatever you want without any tact or grace

They come from New Zealand

So why not?
