Your average nice guy on The Flood.... D: ..... WAIT A MINUTE....
I commonly see people, both online and in real life using the phrase: "well that's just your opinion," or something along those lines as a counterargument when they disagree with something. While it may just be someone's opinion, what people tend to forget when they say this is that not all opinions are inherently wrong. While some opinions can be entirely subjective, many opinions can be proven right or wrong. Opinions can be proven right or wrong using arguments and debate. In fact, most people who utter this phrase say it when their opinion is losing to an opposing one within a debate. Trying to demean someone's argument simply because it is based on opinion is therefore, a cop-out which should be shunned in favor of either rebuttal, or concession of defeat.
Do you agree with this flood, or is this just my opinion?
