Why is it that you label them if they dont agree with your opinion ? I have never understood this position, if people appose your opinion on a topic they are some how inferior or any other stated description that seems to behold a particular situation. Imagine if everyone thought the exact thing, or shared the same opinion on every subject. We would never have growth and development.. Perhaps time for self-reflection is in order ...
This is not a matter of opinion. This is a question of objective reality.
This is no different than climate change. I disagree with many people on how best to combat, or even whether to combat climate change.
But disagreeing on whether it is happening or not isn't a matter of opinion.
I argue this is the same thing. It's perfectly reasonable to disagree on what size Toronto city council should be, or even the degree to which the public or experts should be consulted on the decision.
But I do not feel it is reasonable to believe that his decision wasn't politically motivated and that doing it during an election with zero consultation of any kind was a good idea. I don't think that's an opinion. And that belief has now been backed up by a court decision.
This is an affliction in today's society I feel, the idea that your opinion is just as good as reality.
If we don't have any objective reality, then we have nothing.
I spend plenty of time reflecting on my own positions. I wish others did as well.
Secondly, if you believe your wisdom and objective reality is more important than other people's thoughts, run for politics and champion your cause..
