I learned that it sucked big time. And that's a fact!

I also learned that you can't tell what's a joke post when you see one.

I didn't need it.
For I know I am the Speaker of the Ultimate Truth.

If I say that clouds Rain Chocolate Milk.  It is so.
If I say the Next Call of Duty will be Dog Based.  It is so.

The very fact that people argue about this is why we can't have nice things, in my opinion.  :P:

If I say, "I think something sucks", "something sucks" is my opinion. If the statement as a whole is what I think, then it's a fact that I think that. It's a fact that I have that opinion.

Thusly, everyone is wrong.

"I think" is an opinion too.

Right. But I know what I'm thinking, and that's a fact.
