Oh my. Opinions can most certainly be wrong. Love that we seem to be living in a post-fact world. Let me give you a couple of examples: You can have an opinion that the world is flat. Your opinion would be wrong. You can have an opinion that vaccinations are inherently dangerous. Your opinion would be wrong. Opinions that are based on measurables/stats/evidence can be wrong. bigg jay, Noeller and BigBlueFanatic 3

66 Chevelle Posted December 14, 2019 Report Posted December 14, 2019 sure, when presenting opinion as fact... my statement was not done in that matter... but, if you're looking for a fight, you had better pack a lunch...

Or is ignorance, as you say, a wrong opinion? ie. Is the world being flat really an opinion someone can have when they're indisputably wrong? Edited December 14, 2019 by Jesse Typo

SpeedFlex27 Posted December 14, 2019 Report Posted December 14, 2019 Just to be fair to 66 Chevelle, he wasn't wrong at the time. I think if the trade for Collaros wasn't made & we lost in the semi final to Calgary then MOS probably would have been fired. The locals would have been surly. Not a fan of dredging up old posts just to mock what someone said at the time as we've all been proven wrong here. Except for Skunk when he said Nichols lacked courage or wasn't tough enough because of the genetics he inherited from his parents. There is no way an opinion like that can ever be considered right
TBURGESS Posted December 15, 2019 Report Posted December 15, 2019 If we'd lost in the first round of the playoffs this year, it probably would have meant MOS's job so Collaros saved MOS' job just as much as Nichols did 3 years ago. Tracker 1

Except for Skunk when he said Nichols lacked courage or wasn't tough enough because of the genetics he inherited from his parents. There is no way an opinion like that can ever be considered right I said Nichols wasn't as tough as others who play the game, an then you asked if that was because of his parents, I basically said who else would be responsible for his genes. . And his quick turtling at times might make people question his courage. My opinion was that we wouldn't win a grey cup with Nichols as the QB.
SpeedFlex27 Posted December 15, 2019 Report Posted December 15, 2019 "Sire, there are some who say Matt Nichols isn't tough & are blaming his parent's genes". "How can this be???????" Even in the Fifth Dimension this ain't right.
66 Chevelle Posted December 15, 2019 Report Posted December 15, 2019 surely people here are smart enough to know the difference between someone stating an opinion as a matter of fact and stating an opinion based on how one feels... a fact is a statement that can be proven true or false... an opinion is an expression of a person’s feelings that cannot be proven... if you can prove that it wasn't how I felt or feel then you are correct, I'm wrong, but, good luck with that one, lol... as an example, if I were to say one of the following: a) if you don't know the difference between someone stating an opinion on how they feel or stating an opinion as a matter of fact, then you my friend or an idiot... or... b) if you don't know the difference between someone stating an opinion on how they feel or stating an opinion as a matter of fact, then that causes me great concern... statement a can be proven to be correct or incorrect... if you're capable of proving that you have an IQ greater than 70 than you are indeed technically NOT an idiot, whether you choose to demonstrate it or not is not relevant... however, statement b can NOT be proven or disproved as you have no way of knowing whether or not that I indeed have great concerns regarding your reading comprehension abilities, or anything else for that matter... there are no stats, documentation, or narrative otherwise that could substantiate the validity of my statement whether you agree or not... it's really not that complicated...
