your opinion

STOP HIDING BEHIND THE 1ST AMENDMENT AND GROW SOME NUTS
anyonewhodoesntliveintheusidonteitherbutitsthethoughthatcounts

okay look what I mean is stop saying an opinion is an opinion and no one should stifle it, grow a pair and stand up for yourself. I can personally be very visceral to some people and they've just shrugged it off as "hey you're a dick because you don't like my opinion"
Look, I respect an opinion for what it is, but that doesn't mean I won't react to it.
Do people really expect me to stand by and just let that person talk about how something I love or support is bad?
Does anyone else feel like this is becoming overused?
I firmly support the opinion=/=fact statement, but that does not mean I can't oppose an opinion.
Don't start telling me it's somehow related to totalitarianism, I WANT you to fight back, I WANT you to insult me, DID AN ARGUMENTS EVER GET NOTICED BECAUSE SOMEONE SAID 'YOU SHOULDNT STIFLE ME LIKE THAT'

INB4: oh god im gonna get so much shit for this

Everyone has the right to their own opinion, not their own facts. There are always going to be people who disagree with you about something, from video games you like to what political or philosophical stance you take. If you disagree with somebody you are well within your right to tell them so, having a disagrement is not the same as trying to silence somebody.

What amendment?

Anyway, I'm not quiet about matters that deeply concern me. I can voice my goddamn opinion whenever I want. I'm just more of a lover than a fighter, that's all.

Why would you care about what others think of your own subjective opinions in the first place, "1st amendment" - which is freedom to, not from, dissent anyway - or not?

Of course, if your opinion is something controversial along the lines of "A Serbian Film is the most erotic movie ever", and you choose to voice that, then you'll probably see quite a bit of dissent, and have no right to complain about others voicing their opinion too. But since that'd still only be a subjective opinion on taste, it needs no logical argumentative defence, and hence there's no real reason to argue back.

...at least not unless there was some genuinely interesting arguments that could potentially make one reconsider one's stance.

You made me do it man, I didn't want to...

More important than right to free speech should probably be a Respect for another person's same right. Why do so many people walk around like their word is law, or that what they think is supposed to be taken more seriously than another person's preferences? It's subjective, a personal taste and preference. It's nothing to get worked up over if it happens to disagree with your own. Let bygones be bygones and move on.

You can pick your friends, or you can pick your ass, but you can't pick your friends ass... Or can you?

People have a right for an opinion. You have a right to disagree with that opinion. They have a right to disagree with your disagreement. You have a right to... And so on.

So yeah, you're in your full right to argue with them but they're in their full right to dismiss you. That's just how it goes.

If there was a like button, I would have broken my mouse clicking it.

Its true. This guy is basically doing the whole song and dance routine EVERYONE heard a few thousand times. I get what he means, some people actually use it as a shield when discussing something thats factual, but many do not. And he is right, HE SHOULD get shit for it, because hes basically using his opinion as a weapon against other peoples opinion, with no context for it. Your opinion matters to you, or to someone else, while mine matters to me or a friend.

 

[Floppertje]

I agree with the OP.
furthermore, I really get ticked off by people claiming facts and then saying it's an opinion, so anything you say against them can be dodged with a 'but it's my opinion, can't argue with that'
It's not an opinion, it's FACTS you're claiming. and probably wrong ones at that, or I wouldn't get pissed off about the whole thing in the first place.

Usually, I try to comment on the OP's message, but here I'm going for his presentation. If you want to make a serious point, do so without swearing, using caps, spelling words incorrectly, overusing imperatives and sounding, in general, immature, unreliable and/or misinformed.

Actually, I don't even get the point to your post. It's utterly incomprehensible.

 

[FallenMessiah88]

I agree. If you're going to state your opinion in a public space where everyone can either hear and/or see it, then people have every right to challenge it.
