Thread: Opinions - all are valid or not?

Thank you Alice in Chains. I was going to respond to Bryan but i feel he and I are both just repeating ourselves. I quoted this part of what you said becuase it is the truth that which i believe in, well said.

if you look at what he says, he looks like a fool. things can exist wether you believe they do or not. for instance, he has never been to Hawaii.. so his argument is that Hawaii does not exist.. (hahahaha) i have never been to hawaii, but i believe it exist. neither one of us has been there, but one is right and one is wrong. there is only one reality. i feel sorry for the door more than him..lol

your petty name calling is retarded, lol. anyway, i never said i believed my statement, it's just a possible idea. if you leave your phone in the bathroom then go to another room, you cannot be sure it is still there no matter how high the probability it is that it's still there. the probability and possibility is what matters. now you can gracefully undo your checkmate

Quote: Are all opinions valid Well at least it's not a religious debate. And this debate depends on the sense you are talking about. As a human being you are entitled to your opinion. Always. That however does not mean that your opinion is the right opinion and here in lies the application of validity. Two people can look at one object and one person can call it something completely different. His opinion is valid in the fact he is...

I think that if you really believed that all opinions are valid then you would not have began this thread. The fact that you started it and disagree with certain opinions betrays your true underlying belief. Here is one example from your post#20 found on pg. 2 of this thread : "You cannot prove to me we all see the same colors. It is illogical to say that this supposed valid fact is not debatable..." Who cares about what can...

Looking at his presidency, using primary sources and other forms of history you could prove factually that he was the worst president ever. At that point, the statement "Jimmy Carter is the worst president ever" would not only be an opinion, but a factual...

ok here's the facts.... the dictionary defines the word fact as a thing done: as a obsolete : feat b : crime <accessory after the fact> c archaic : action 2 archaic : performance, doing 3 : the quality of being actual : actuality <a question of fact hinges on evidence> 4 a : something that has actual existence <space exploration is now a fact> b : an actual occurrence <prove the fact of...
