Yes. ...and to top this all off, "facts" really mean nothing on their own. In "fact", they may even be worth less than the "opinions" that are supported by them. The reason why this is so is because most facts and opinions persume that certain goals in our society are unquestioned.

For example, some big-business neo-liberal Republican might tell me that we need to give out tax discounts and cancel social spending (opinion) because it is FACTUALLY proven that rational people will grow the economy more efficienciently and better than government spending. Thing again, there is evidence that counters that fact and also, this person is assuming that I actually want to make the economy bigger. However, as much as I want there to be more money, unless I actually see a dime with it, I just don't care about your opinion because it simply is of no consequence to me. If it is of no consequence to me, why should I care about what you think and why should I have to live with your decisions?

Well afleitch, you're entitled to your opinion. Wink
That's your opinion. In fact, nobody is entitled to an opinion. Damn culture of entitlement.

A bunch of elitist commies that hate America is what America is about. Tongue

Well, can you give me some examples? ...and this means what exactly to me? Maybe I like "warmed up garbage" and maybe I will be able to get away with farting more if everyone smells bad.

...but what really sucks is that other people's opinions, though you don't have to believe them, may be forced upon you if enough people believe in them.
