A fun game that is educational too!

[Caliban]

I played it. It was fun.

But did you learn anything?

[Khushrenada]

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

[UncleBob]

No, that's an opinion.  You learned nothing.

[Khushrenada]

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

[UncleBob]

I'm not sure how to respond to that...

[Ceric]

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.  :

[Tlon]

What about if I have an argument with a colour blind person?! Or a conspiracy theorist?!

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

You forgot spoiler tags, asshole.

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.

[Plugabugz]

"I think" is an opinion too.

[nickmitch]

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

[UncleBob]

Unless you have multiple personalities.  dun dun dun...

[nickmitch]

Unless one of the personalities, is a mind reader!!
