Subject: My opinion on opinions

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?

04s suck

My opinion is that your opinion on opinions is wrong.
Also, using an opinion isn't a very convincing argument.

I eat my milk...

...without any milk.

I think it's funny when people have to point out someone else's opinion. It's one of the most passive-aggressive ways to tell someone that the way they think is wrong.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

Well, that's just like, your opinion man.

If you disagree with my opinion, then you are objectively wrong

I always say it in a "lets agree to disagree" kind of way.

But that gets us nowhere. The point of an argument is to come to a consensus or conclusion, not leave the issue unresolved.

Yes but a lot of arguments never end unless someone says "that's just your opinion." I'll agree that sometimes it's said as a way to admit defeat without actually admitting defeat, but a lot of times the arguments are opinion based and its just a friendly way to end an argument and no one gets hurt lol.
