The problem with opinions: they are just opinions, wasted words. I can't win an argument with opinions: why would my opinion have more value than yours?

How do you know that, have you asked them? If not, you don't think, you assume....I think some members on this Forum have, perhaps, never thought about these ideas since they spend most of their time locked in a practice room...

Hi, Eric,
They are called opinions. They are based, in this case, not on direct personal contact but rather on their words. And if we deny the validity of opinions based on words expressed, we might as well revert to our descent from the trees into the African savannah and disregard the last 2500 years of Philosophy, Literature, Math, Science, and History based on the knowledge gained by reading peoples words ...
Opinions are without obligation. I prefer to know facts (before judging), so my opinions become rational arguments.
