Opinions, it's ok to not have some.

[tigerf117 10+ year member]

Why do people feel the need to have an opinion about everything? If I'm uneducated, or simply unprepared about a topic/subject/whatever, I have no problem saying I don't have an opinion (or simply saying I'm not informed enough to make an educated opinion on said subject). Maybe someone could shed some light on this for me? Is this a human nature sort of thing?

I've always seen it as, the people who have the most opinions are generally the least educated. While more of the people I have found that don't have an opinion (edit: on everything), or a strong opinion, know what they're talking about. It doesn't make you less of a "man" or person to simply not have an opinion on something, we all can't know everything.

there have been a number of studies in which people were asked for their opinion on bills going through congress that where entirely made up by the researchers, and people were still overwhelmingly willing to give an opinion (like 90+ %) on the imaginary bill

I'm just trying to get an insight on why? I don't understand why people have to have said opinions, and then argue them down until they look like a retard. People are ignorant? I don't know

I knew a guy that had an opinion once. I think it was an Opinion 2500r. Way Underrated! That thing did at least 750 watts!!

Opinions are like *** holes. Everyone has one and they all stink.

My opinion is that the OP is a ***.

The only explanation I have is people feel stupid if they don't have an opinion on something? Reminds me of a friends episode (here comes the flame) where Joye gets an encyclopedia to have something to say about topics he doesn't have any clue on.
