I believe that everybody have a right to express their no matter how outrageous and disagreeable it is. Take Quetin Tarantino anti-police opinion for example. He has the right to express his anti-police opinion despite the NYPD censoring him. Opinions make people human. That the way of life. What do you think?

Re: Opinion Debate
I think you can state your opinion if you like. But, don't claim your opinions as facts if they are not. By all means, state your opinions if you want to."Turn, and look in the mirror. What do you see?" Her own brown eyes stared back at her until she was nothing but a blur.

Re: Opinion Debate
Sure, you can express any opinion you like. Just don't expect other people to take you seriously if you can't justify what you're saying with reasonable facts. Especially in a debate.Originally posted by Bartmanhomer View Post

Re: Opinion Debate
I actually agree. Except for when Tarantino lied about his time in the po po. Now he just looks like a liar.Originally posted by Bartmanhomer View Post

Re: Opinion Debate
Do I think you should be able to speak with a great deal of freedom without legal consequence? Yes
Do I think you should be able to speak with a great deal of freedom without any consequence? There are any number of people who could tell you my feelings on their attempts to claim absolute freedom of speech on PF. You just might have difficulty contacting some of them since they are currently under permanent ban.life itself was a lightsaber in his hands; even in the face of treachery and death and hopes gone cold, he burned like a candle in the darkness. Like a star shining in the black eternity of space.
Yoda: Dark Rendezvous
"But those men who know anything at all about the Light also know that there is a fierceness to its power, like the bare sword of the law, or the white burning of the sun." Suddenly his voice sounded to Will very strong, and very Welsh. "At the very heart, that is. Other things, like humanity, and mercy, and charity, that most good men hold more precious than all else, they do not come first for the Light. Oh, sometimes they are there; often, indeed. But in the very long run the concern of you people is with the absolute good, ahead of all else..."
John Rowlands, The Grey King by Susan Cooper

Ah ok, that's what you meant. I talk like that sometimes, especially when I get angry lol. I would say they way we talk sometimes is a part of our culture, but I don't know completely."Turn, and look in the mirror. What do you see?"

Re: Opinion Debate
You are legally free to say almost anything you want, as long as it falls within your country's definition of freedom of speech. However, freedom of speech is not the same as freedom of response. You can state an opinion, and others have the right to challenge you on it (though nothing says you owe them a response).
If you're in a debate and you make a statement of fact or strong opinion that contradicts what is considered the social norm, it's your responsibility in that conversation format to support that position with logic and or facts. That's just how science and reasoning works.Comment

Re: Opinion Debate
Express an opinion?
Yes.
Get torn to shreds for expressing an opinion?
Of course.
If "A" expresses an opinion, "B" can express an opinion on that opinion, and it may be harsh...
Fair is fair.
I also believe in the legal concept of slander/libel, and fat cash settlements from civil court determined guilt.Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.

I think sometimes people take their opinions much too seriously. I mean they are just opinions.Once a man, like the sea I raged;
Once a woman, like the earth I gave;
And there is in fact more earth than sea.

Re: Opinion Debate
Nowadays it seems that opinions are taken more as a part of a personality so whenever you "attack" someone's opinion they take it as a personal assault.
Especially on the internet.baah.Comment
