it was an old topic that my roommates and I used to discuss (over many beers).. just figured id get some more opinions (haha) on the topic
personally i dont think they can be wrong (incorrect), but i will agree (in the hitler case) that opinions can be morally wrong... even that is open to interpretation tho (not hitler specifically, just anything being morally wrong) .. when you call something morally wrong what are you basing that on? your own beliefs and morals? whats to say yours aren't different than mine?
In My Humble Opinion...............
Opinions are like anal sphincters and guess what?
Everyone has one! Even the Judges...
Only in some cases they work and in others they don't, resulting in a load of bull**** from certain quarters.
Having said that, my opinion is always correct. When it has been proved to be wrong, I simply change my opinion so that it is right.
How about some ancient people whose opinion was that the world was flat and that if you sailed far enough you would fall off the edge?
Opinions vary, of course. But we get into trouble when we try to "prove" a value judgment using scientific means, or when we try to "prove" a fact with value judgments.
