The problem with you and many others here is that you seem to have a difficulty understanding what an "opinion" is.
Main Entry: opin·ion
Pronunciation: &-'pin-y&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English, from Middle French, from Latin opinion-, opinio, from opinari
Date: 14th century
1 a : a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter b : APPROVAL, ESTEEM
2 a : belief stronger than impression and less strong than positive knowledge b : a generally held view
3 a : a formal expression of judgment or advice by an expert b : the formal expression (as by a judge, court, or referee) of the legal reasons and principles upon which a legal decision is based
- opin·ioned /-y&nd/ adjective
synonyms OPINION, VIEW, BELIEF, CONVICTION, PERSUASION, SENTIMENT mean a judgment one holds as true. OPINION implies a conclusion thought out yet open to dispute <each expert seemed to have a different opinion>. VIEW suggests a subjective opinion <very assertive in stating his views>. BELIEF implies often deliberate acceptance and intellectual assent <a firm belief in her party's platform>. CONVICTION applies to a firmly and seriously held belief <the conviction that animal life is as sacred as human>. PERSUASION suggests a belief grounded on assurance (as by evidence) of its truth <was of the persuasion that everything changes>. SENTIMENT suggests a settled opinion reflective of one's feelings <her feminist sentiments are well-known>.
I want you to look at the definition of "opinion" and study that definition.
You're an arrogant fool who thinks that the world revolves around you and that everyone will agree with you. You are mistaken.
Heres an example:
Lets say that you think Hamann should be sold and I say that Hamann is a good player and should not be sold and tha we should be happy that we have Hamann when Gerrard is not playing.
You will then say "You're post is bullsh!t"
You don't have to agree with it because you have the right NOT to, but realize that acting like a kid and bitching about the fact that I do not agree with you on certain things will not make matters better. Understand and respect opinions of others.
