    On holiday with wife, kids and in laws having a great time and plenty to do and drink.

    In the middle of semi drunken discussions if we differ in opinions who is right and who is wrong or doesn't it matter and how does that transfer to the BBS.

    The wife's always right, no matter how ridiculously wrong she is, she's just right, makes for an easier, calmer life in the long run.
    Oh and her Dad is too.
    In fact you're just wrong, always.

    You've took the moral high ground by allowing her to be right, so if u like, u can convince yourself that u actually won the argument.

    Or summat, life's too short.

    Will’s wrecked washing three times(!) by putting something red in with the whites. Doing it wrong doesn’t get you out of doing it in this house, it just means you need to do extra work to fix the mistakes and then practice doing it until you get it right.

    I'm siding with your wife here purely because you've used the term "wifey". Like nails down a chalkboard :confused:

    You misrepresent the meaning of the word ‘opinion’.

    Opinions aren’t facts, there’s no right or wrong. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, it’s completely democratic. It’s good to have your ideas challenged.

    But here’s the bits some people find uncomfortable, and both work better in the real world in a bar than they do online.

    1: Your opinions and assumptions are open to challenge, this is a good thing as it allows the movement of debate and for issues to be moved forward. Unfortunately on the WWW having your opinions challenged is seen by many as bullying, or the childish ‘my opinion isn’t valid as it’s not the majority view’.

    2: Not all opinions are equal; some people are indeed experts in some areas of life, whether that’s law, economics, football, multimeters or laying patios. The simple idea that a Sun reading landscape gardener will have a clearer understanding of a court case than a barrister ought to be hilarious but on the WWW there are many who conflate ‘everyone has the right to an opinion’ with ‘all opinions are equal’.

    And of course; those are simply my opinions. You’re perfectly entitled to take a different one without me feeling like a victim :)

    I like the start opinions aren't facts

    Point 1 opinions are to be discussed and debated, good conversations are made up from differing opinions.
    I don't think many claim bullying though for challenged opinions. I've just challenged your opinion then.

    Point 2
    Love that one and relating it to the BBS our football opinions are valid but they may be right or wrong but how do they compare to Duffs opinions who has spent his life at a higher level lf learning and knowledge in football than we have, are his decisions/ opinions equal or not our opinions?

    On point 2, we shouldn't assume that those who work in football are all experts in that field by default (and thus have a better opinion than us mere mortals); see:
