In my view your patriotism has nothing to do with why your opinion doesn't matter... Its your Liberal thinking !

Gothic Chick,
You and I share some similar views...As a matter of fact, I was even accused by one of the members here, of actually BEING you, under a different SN...However, this is one time that I have to completely disagree with you...

EVERYONE's opinion matters...Even if we disagree agree with it...An opinion is often NOT a fact, but merely an expression of what a person thinks of an issue, and how they feel about it...

While the validity of a FACT can be disputed...An OPINION cannot be right or wrong...It is ONLY an opinion, and we each have a right to our own...

For example...If I said..."The sky is blue"...Well, that isn't an opinion, as it is an established FACT...So, it can be disputed, like this..."The sky is only blue in the daytime, it is black at night, and sometimes it contains brilliant shades of purple and pink, as well"

BUT, if I said..."My opinion is that the sky is beautiful"...You cannot say that my opinion is WRONG, if your opinion happens to be that the sky is ugly...
