Thanks for that, so, we need the noun there for a second (an opposite)
1. One that is opposite or contrary to another.
Hmm contrary to another. Okay, Chocolate, The Smiths, Shakyamunison, Buddha, Sprite, Books, a purple lion all have such an opposite. I mean what is the one that is contrary to Buddha.
2. An opponent or antagonist.
Does everyone have an opponent? What about a new born baby, or one that is not known by anyone else that could be an opponent? Lets just say not everyone has an opponent.
3. An antonym.
An antonym "is a word opposite in meaning to another"
Since most of the things included in everything are not "words", I guess that's a no as well (besides not every word has an antonym either, so there already the "everything has an opposite" theory is shot down)
Fair enough, are we done now? Anyone else going to claim that everything has an opposite besides that obviously not being the case?

I can't get over Bullshit. Either there is an opposite or there isn't. There not being an opposite is for example the opposite of their being an opposite, so in this case there is an opposite.

No..really, it doesn't, that's just a very basic concept. If something has an opposite in one of those cases the thing has an opposite. You'll probably call me pedantic or something, but what you said was just wrong.
The term can also be abstract. It is only OUR label of what we think is opposite, but necessarily what the TRUE meaning of it is.
Again Bardock, the opposite of a piano is a non piano.
Night - day
male - female
creative - non creative
dog - non dog
fries - non fries
trees, non trees
Spirit - no spirit
Rich - poor ( or your view of rich and poor)
aggressive - passive
Happy - sad
owned - free
Attracted - non Attracted
Beer - non beer
Secure - non secure
Stable - non stable
Judgement - non judgement
North Pool - South Pole
Yes - No
God - No god
Faith - No faith
Asexual - non sexual
20 plus - 20 minus
Gravity - non gravity
Simple actually IMO.
Mathamatics does show this so.

No, just something that is different from a piano is the opposite of it. For example a cat just isn't the opposite of a piano. If you think that you are stupid.
Oh and please provide me with evidence which suggests that not everything has an opposite, because maybe then I can stop thinking you're talking out of your ass.
Quite an irony really, particulary because you believe you have ANY authority to decide who is stupid.

Look, the matter of the fact is that a Piano doesn't have an opposite. There is no "no-piano" it doesn't exist. The opposite is not the rest of a set.
Look your "no-something" replies don't prove shit, since those "no-something things do not exist. I mean even rich and poor are at most artificial opposites I mean what is the opposite of having 10.000 dollars that. Is it having no money? HAving 10. 000 debts is it having 20 000 dollars? It doesn't have an actual opposite. Oh and just for the record cats are not the opposite of dogs.
