I’m doing a philosophy paper and it feels like I’m writing a big blog post with citations from normal human authors.. haha.. anyway another quick stupid facebook saying from someone.
That’s just my opinion
I can’t begin to tell how many things I can say about that phrase. “who cares?” summarizes my thoughts best. This phrase seems to be a common end-all of any proposition that is cut down by some basic logic. When all else fails, say “that’s just my opinion” cos who can take away the right to another person’s own opinion right? That’s acceptable. What is not acceptable is the sheer stupidity of holding on to an opinion out of pride and not a quest for truth. Haha.. and then deleting it all cos you realised that you were wrong but am too afraid to admit it because you think people might think lesser of you.
That’s just one thought. One of the other thoughts begins with with a christian perspective, something like “only God’s opinion matters” or, your opinions can’t change anything..
There are so many other reasons why its stupid but I have to get back to my paper.
