opinions

[Karen Wingoof]

Great quote from Douglas Adams (from Salmon of Doubt): "Asking people about their opinions is a very good way of making friends. Telling them about your own opinions can also work, but not always quite as well."

:)

And this one, from the same book: "It’s easier to say that I am a radical Atheist, just to signal that I really mean it, have thought about it a great deal, and that it’s an opinion I hold seriously. It’s funny how many people are genuinely surprised to hear a view expressed so strongly. In England we seem to have drifted from vague, wishy-washy Anglicanism to vague, wishy-washy Agnosticism—both of which I think betoken a desire not to have to think about things too much."

But wait! There's one more (also from The Salmon of Doubt): "All opinions are not equal. Some are a very great deal more robust, sophisticated , and well-supported in logic and argument than others."
