Opinion is the useless babble and clutter of random thought that is absent of knowledge.

Opinion seeks its agenda by name calling , lack of knowledge, accusation, misrepresentation, distortion of terms, other unethical acts and in the end when frustrated violence.

In all of its history it has never provided a new fact or any new knowledge.

It remains the same today because it provides no new fact or knowledge.

It remains irrelevant.

This wouldn't be your opinion, would it....

If not, then I'd be interested to see the peer reviewed scientific evidence that supports these statements.

This you should have learned by the eight grade, the tenth grade at the latest or at least that was about the standard for education in the 1950's.

However since you have either ignored or been deprived of your education you might want to start simple. There are only three methods of acquiring knowledge known to man and they are defined as Philosophy, Science, and Mathematics. Each has a different method than any other and each has a definitive view of opinion on which they agree.

"Philosophy and its method is defined as a logical deducted argument for proof of faith and belief that is unknown". Philosophy does not accept opinion either as method or proof. Opinion is simply ones thoughts or what they think without the necessary arguments or logical deductions for proof. In a classical classroom setting the statements (in my opinion or I think) would receive severe reprimand. The professor might ask one to leave and not return until the one was without opinion. Philosophy itself has provided little or no new knowledge in thousands of years.

"Science and its method is the observation of material facts, evidence and empirical evidence for the facts and a explanation of the evidence and facts that constitutes theory". Science does not recognize the terms proof, truth, or opinion but accepts theory as a higher order than any of the three. Your desire that I'd be interested to see the peer reviewed scientific evidence that supports these statements demonstrates that you have little knowledge of science and its method or you would know that opinion is not a observable fact and is not even considered by science. It is also a good demonstration of how a opinionest misuses terms and meanings, demonstrates a lack of knowledge and would make a accusation or make a illogical request by definition for agenda.

Mathematics and its method is using numbers and symbols to determine proofs, absolutes, and laws. It does not accept opinion, theory or faith and belief. Mathematics has determined that 2+2=4 is absolute. One's opinion that it may be anything else is useless babble and illogical individual thought by definition and a purpose of a agenda.

Last is the failed method of knowledge; opinion or the agenda of a opinionest that has already been stated above. Socrates is the father of philosophy and discredited opinion as knowledge before Plato. Opinionests and those of opinion sentenced him to his death for his logic.

I have seen your posts most often and all of the above has been presented on these threads many times but you have rejected all definitions that are not of your opinion and agenda. You could have just googled up definitions and methods of all of the above but choose instead to attempt a discrediting of me by your opinion. Some have offered that it is most sad and pitiful that some with the information and knowledge of the three methods available at their fingertips would ignore more education and seek the failed method of opinion./
