    I think people can feel free to have the opinion that they want. They should be able to express there opinion, and those who listen (which should be lots of people) should have an open mind, and maybe change there opinion. Some opinions may not turn into anything, but it doesnt mean there worthless. Even if nobody treasures your opinion, you should. Its what makes you who you are.

    Having an opinion means that you are interested in life. Everyone should have an opinion, it's a sign of intelligence.

    I do listen to opinions, but I may not take them to heart, if I don't agree with them.

    I listen to those that make sense, not just rant on and on. You have to be making a point.

    Opinions matter, at least when you're ruling a country. Wouldn't want them rebels knocking your door down. :D

    I care about other's opinions about me..if they are reasonable. It would be a lie to say I didn't care at all.

    I'm alright with opinion. In the end, only a certain number of opinions end up as fact.

    "To criticize is only to establish that a concept vanishes when it is thrust into a new milieu, losing some of its components, or acquiring others that transform it. But those who criticize without creating, those who are content to defend the vanished concept without being able to give it the forces it needs to return to life, are the plague of philosophy."

    ONLY cease to cherish opinions.

    in other words don't fall out with family, friends and neighbours over your opinions.

    there are times when we must face the facts!!

    911 was a terrorist attack is an opinion.

    911 was a series of three controlled demolitions is a fact.

    the crucifixion is a religious symbol is an opinion.

    the crucifixion is a violent image is a fact.

    I really enjoy them in sandwiches and fried with steak, in batter as rings, stuffed with varieties of meat fillings, and particularly the Spanish variety. The only problem, as one gets older, they do tend to repeat on one, and sometimes keep one awake at night.

    However like opinions, onions are a matter of taste, and that's my own onion opinion.
