Opinions, why you can be wrong.

I've come against an increasing ammount of people who justify their warped mindset with

"It's my opinion".

Apparently opinions are immune and non-subject to logic, sense, or anything else worthy of the abstract mindset humans have.

Is the educational system this bad that we've come to justify our toughts with a blind bashing of a magic word (the word being "opinion") as the end-all be-all to anyone who disagrees with us?

Now, with this little piece of text in mind : http://www.urbandictionary.com/defin...n%20Be%20Wrong

By Odin's beard, can't you people understand this? even a chimp would understand a thought can be wrong, or poorly (badly?) justified.

Are you below a chimp? do you need me to explain this little concept with puppets?

                                                                      Best.Puppet.Ever.

Let us use examples, what if I said "I think everyone who likes X genre of music should be killed", That's an opinion right?

Yet it is intolerant, exceedingly stupid, and to your fear and awe, it might be wrong.

Of course you'll try to justify by saying "it is my opinion", that's what everyone who knows they're wrong do, invoke the mighty sacred word to smite their foes who might foolishly oppose them.

                                                                  "IT IS MY OPINION"

You know what other thing happens when you challenge someone's toughts on a subject?

They invoke their second word, respect.

                                                      "YOU DON'T KNOW RESPECT"

Yes it called for the same image, jolly dolly, if you disagree with someone you're automatically a disrepectful prick, you might not even had called them stupid, you might've just questioned their motives as to why they posses such (unique?) mindset on whatever matter you're talking about, but you have another opinion, therefore you're a disrespecting asshat not worthy of their time.

The next stage of the argument involves rage, with disagreements comes rage, often one sided, often coming from the bright person we're dealing with at the moment, who cannot possibly fathom that in this same dimension there exists a person who thinks different than they do.

Even if their opinion is "Justin bieber is a far better musician than J.S. Bach", which we all know is not true, because the only person who's better than Bach is Lady Gaga.

And that's like, my opinion man.

Edit & Warning : In the process of the discussion, always remember you may be the one who's wrong, if you are, shrug and give it up man, admitting to being off in the subject is better than a continous and unending showcase of idiocy.
