An opinion is a subjective statement or thought about an issue or topic, and is the result of emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. Opinions rarely change without new arguments being presented. However, it can be reasoned that one opinion is better supported by the facts than another by analysing the supporting arguments.

An opinion may be the result of a person's perspective, understanding, particular feelings, beliefs, and desires. In casual use, the term opinion may refer to unsubstantiated information, in contrast to knowledge and fact-based beliefs.

What is your opinion on the validity of opinions?
Q. Do you think every opinion is equally valid? Why or why not? If you don't think all opinions are equally valid, what makes one opinion more valid than another?
Asked by Aya - Thu Dec 25 02:58:34 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments

A. I think you would consider all opinions equally valid only in the case you do not know anything about the people giving them. If you know something about these people, the validity you give to their opinions become immediately biased. Ms A could have more experience than Mr B; Mr C could be known for saying nonsense many times, etc. All matters, we accept it or not: Age, educational level, cultural background, career, economic level, attitude, way of talking, clothes, etc. Let me put the question in other contexts to show my point. - What would you trust, Mr X's blog or a widely known newspaper? - Do you ask sometimes a question on certain topic to a specific friend? Why not someone else? - A top contributor in Yahoo Answers must have… [cont.]

  • If all mankind minus one were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.
  • The peculiar evil of silencing the expression of an opinion is, that it is robbing the human race; posterity as well as the existing generation; those who dissent from the opinion, still more than those who hold it. If the opinion is right, they are deprived of the opportunity of exchanging error for truth: if wrong, they lose, what is almost as great a benefit, the clearer perception and livelier impression of truth, produced by its collision with error.
  • To refuse a hearing to an opinion, because they are sure that it is false, is to assume that their certainty is the same thing as absolute certainty. All silencing of discussion is an assumption of infallibility. Its condemnation may be allowed to rest on this common argument, not the worse for being common.
  • I agree with no man's opinion. I have some of my own.
