Opinions are like assholes.

I hate people who constantly use the word "opinion."

"Well, that's YOUR opinion." Opinion, opinion, opinion. As if there were no truth in any matter whatsoever a priori of the person making a claim. You know what? Fuck everyone's opinion.

To understand this word as it's used in this context, I looked it up.

o·pin·ion ( P ) Pronunciation Key (-pnyn)
n.
A belief or conclusion held with confidence but not substantiated by positive knowledge or proof: “The world is not run by thought, nor by imagination, but by opinion”** (Elizabeth Drew).

NOT substantiated by positive knowledge or proof. HAH! If you're in an arguement with someone and you're very obviously presenting them with a fact... FACT, mind you... and they bust out the ever-popular phrase "You're entitled to your opinion.", what they're really saying is "I am allowed to be a motherfucking, knuckle dragging, dumbass." Congratulations. You're condoning your own stupidity and your unwillingness to listen to someone else other than you. Truth does exist beyond your own limited perception, asshole. The world is not made up of subjective truths. The only thing subjective is religion and apparently yours is being a moron.

**How sad it is that this is correct. The world must change, for opinions are like assholes. They all stink.
