The Future

The difference between fact and opinion is that a fact is something that is empirically true and can be supported by evidence, while an opinion is a belief that may or may not be backed up with some type of evidence. An opinion is normally a subjective statement that can be the result of an emotion or an individual interpretation of a fact. For example, biological differences between males and females are a fact while a preference for one gender over the other is opinion.

Although the differences between facts and opinions usually rest on whether they are objective or subjective respectively, a fact can in some cases be subjective. A subjective fact can communicate how someone is feeling. If a person says he’s feeling sad, that is a subjective fact about his emotional state. On the other hand, if one person tells another that he is sad, this statement would qualify only as my opinion regardless of whether it is true.

A fact can safely be defined as a true belief. Belief is synonymous with opinion, so someone who makes a factual statement also holds an opinion that the fact is true. Therefore all facts are accompanied by an opinion, though opinions do not require facts to be held as true by those who believe them; hence the statement that everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

I hope you are now totally confused…. :shock:

Thank you for that panda.. and my apologies. you posted your “explanation” whilst I was posing my question.
Synchronicity at it’s best.

Now, tell me, did you find Tel’s post to be racist at all?

I don’t think it has anything to do with synchronicity. I posted my “explanation” @ 9.09 am, your question was 9.28 am – perhaps you never bothered to read page 11.

Well of course I found Terry’s post racist – Teapot said so didn’t she?

Panda if you want to start a new thread on that go ahead…. but dont ruin threads with your silly racist remarks… there is only one person here has race issues … thats you, Terry’s remarks were based on sound economic fact… all you do is try to make racist argument where there are none..

I know Im playing into your hands posting this… well so be it… had to be said

Well, how did I find Terry’s post? Rather naive and simplistic, but according to Teapot, it’s “sound economic fact” to blame Polish people. :roll:

:lol: Now now, no need to be so sparky love.
As for the timing of the posts lol.. well, it’s obvious I didn’t read the latter posts of the previous page, but through no insidious conspiracy believe me, not unless you call making my daughter’s fruity porridge whilst trying to post a crime.
Hence the delay.
Hope that clears that major issue up.

I’m still confused.
I didn’t ask for Mrs Teapot’s take.
I want to know yours.
Apart from being naive and simplistic.. was Tel’s post racist or not?
Yes or no?

I’ve answered you, Pepper. Do keep up. :roll:

You did?
Where?
With the “Teapot said so didn’t she?” gig?
Hardly a straightforward confirmation.
Can you give a straightforward confirmation please?
Much appreciated.

My answer is there, Pepper. Have a look and you might find it.

Erm.. Nope.
Still can’t see anything straightforward.
Can anybody else help me out here?
Is this to be a linguistic “Where’s Wally?”.
