Opinions are like beef tartar: best served raw by old Russian women.

Opinions are like Ethan Hawke's books: there's a certain awkward charm, but no one is going to be flinging their undies over it.

Opinions are like fire ants: I have to be rubbed down with calamine once I'm exposed to them.

Opinions are like armadillos: they can carry leprosy.

Opinions are like the state of pop music: dead since Tears for Fears disbanded.

Opinions are like the Panama Canal: I've never really understood the significance, although I'm sure it's there somewhere.

Opinions are like Segways: owned by crazy billionaires for the purpose of running over your kitty.

Opinions are like marijuana plants: when the RA finds out, you are so busted.

Opinions are like those frozen fish patties you bought a while back: they lurk in the back of the refrigerator, and when you finally try one, you puke your butt off.

Opinions are like Gerard Depardieu: a little too European for most people.

Opinions are like the bus station: the last refuge for lost souls and people in search of low-grade goofballs.

Opinions are like baby corn: only there so old ladies can have something to talk about while eating brunch.

Opinions are like conjoined twins: I have nightmares that they're chasing after me with a big harpoon.

Opinions are like Colin Farrell: Destined to die a long, painful death, probably at the hands of a Laotian hooker.

btw you forgot:

opinions are like assholes: everyone's got one and they all stink 😄

i did forget it...but hey...it was a cut n paste job...i'll admit it...and i'll be proud of it too 😄 😄 😄 😄

Opinions are immunity to being told your wrong. its on my sig.

Is everyone's opinon equal. When is someone's opinion more valuable than another's, if ever? What constitutes a valid opinion?

Honestly, I value the opinions of intelligent, knowledgable people more than I do the opinions of idiots.

Opinion matters in debates if their support is clear and evidence is present.

Opinions are like Shit:

Hardly smell good,
Easy to step on,
And dry out after a short period of time.

I've had a few arguments recently with some people simply because I debated the 'quality' of their opinions. I believe everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but when the opinion is fundamentally flawed then I don't consider it worthy in 'quality'.

This is a continuation of KharmaDog's thread, with the extended discussion point:

People whose opinions show a high degree of ignorance should be told that their opinions are flawed.

Discuss.

I strongly believe that everyone is entitled to their own opinion, whether or not other people disagree. Everyone's opinion is important, no opinion is more worthy, or more valuble than another's.

I think that's a stupid opinion because it gives credability to idiots.

(I've used a curious brand of irony in the above sentence. See if you can detect it...)

I don't care whether a person is an idiot or not. Peoples opinions should be respected, because if you don't respect a persons opinion, you are not respecting that person.

An opinion that you find of value.

Well, Makedde, by default you're saying you respect idiots. Good call.

🙁 As a retard, I find that very offensive.

You only think they are idiots because you don't agree with them. You're as bad as AC. 🙄

I take it as a compliment that you're saying that I don't agree with idiots. Good call #2!

Everyone has the right to an opinion but if they use that right to uphold and idiotic opinion then that's how it goes.

Makedde, you seem to think that because everyone has the right to an opinion, everyone has to say "Yeah that's right, I don't agree but that's right." Which is stupid.

Was it the spelling error? Or is that additional irony?

It's not compulsory to do so, though.

People get carried away with believing that an opinion is the conceptual antonym of a fact, and as a result think that all opinions are unimpeachable.

i cant view certain opinions as just that.
some opinions are built on widespread lies and half-truths,
some are just dangerous. i dont feel that freedom of speech is the issue,
and believe in the idea fully and unconditionally.
but if you present an overall psychotic opinion like the ever prevalent
"we should just nuke the whole middle east" then i will attack that.
so dont feed me the "its just my opinion blah blah free speech blah blah"
since at that point my opinion is that you're an ******* and will then
excercise MY freedom of speech in expressing that.
