Message: [QUOTE="Dave85, post: 1205558, member: 3946"] I applaud you for pointing out the distinction! It's just amazing to me how many people see absolutely no distinction, or know difference, between what is a "fact" and what is an "opinion". The word "fact" nowadays is pretty much slang for "take my opinion and shove it up your face". I think we live in age where we have large numbers of brain damaged people who actually think their own opinions are "facts". And at the same time real facts that disagree with their own personal "facts" are considered baseless "opinions". And the most amazing one of all is when I hear someone tell me my opinion is a "lie". That one just amazes me the most. How can anyone's opinion ever be a "lie". What does that mean???? The munging of the words fact with opinion has Edward Bernays, the inventor of "torches of freedom", rolling over in his grave with laughter. [/QUOTE]
