It's not a "google" graphic. Google didn't spawn the graphic. That very same graphic is in a 2nd grade reading text book. Do you suppose the publishers of this textbook found the graphic from google and put it in their book? Or do you suppose someone might have taken that graphic from a textbook and posted it online where it was found by a google search?
What I rather meant was that YOU had just randomly found it on google. But it was just a snarky jab, so thanks for informing me about the source.
I guess it kinda fits if I call this graphic INCOMPLETE, and then you add that it was for 2nd graders.
So how about you find an explanation for ADULTS, then update your knowledge from 2nd grade to adult level, and then we can talk.
Just so there is no more confusion, the definition of fact being used in that graphic is "a thing that is indisputably the case" (also from The Oxford English Dictionary).
Yea I know that already.
Thanks for repeating back.
Since the puppy is black, this is a fact. It is indisputable.
Now I say, "The puppy is cute"
While you or I may find the puppy to be very adorable, someone else may find it quite hideous. There is no real standard to define "cute", it can't be proven either way. Therefore this is an opinion.
Thanks for repeating what I've been saying for days. It's really adorable how you're really thinking you're telling me anything new with that.
The thing is, that is ONE meaning of opinion. A statement about a MENTAL STATE. That is LIMITED TO THE MIND. "Sunset is beautiful", in my older example.
It's equivalent to taste.
The OTHER meaning of opinion, is a judgment or view about a factual circumstance, that can't (or isn't) proven by the one saying it to be certain.
The sentiment that "a puppy is cute" can NEVER become a fact, because it's all in the head.
A judgement of a factual circumstance (like, what do I know, the state of a country and what could be done to salvage it) CAN become KNOWLEDGE of a factual circumstance (i.e. fact), if there is hard evidence making it a certainty.
That's how the word "opinion" (as well as the German "Meinung", and the Russian "mneniyeh"), are used in everyday conversation, in professional debates, on forums, and basically everywhere else; the dictionary I cited sums it up correctly.
So maybe telling a bunch of 2nd graders that at least two completely different notions are called an "opinion", can prove too difficult.
And from all it seems, explaining this to you is, too.
So again, when you're ready to talk on adult level, please come back.
What I've said here, I've already said at least 5 times on this sole thread, and at some point, it's ENOUGH.
Wanna be an adult? Start FUCKING PAYING ATTENTION.
