Why do some people think their personal opinion is fact?!


Question: To my contacts: You are not part of these "some people", I'm just saying...in general...

Some people on here and real-life state their opinions as if they are fact, and anyone that disagrees is "wrong". This happens not just in matters of religion and philosophy, but also with people's varying tastes in music, movies, books, etc. Aren't we all entitled to our own opinions, as long as they are *informed* opinions? The same goes for politics - for example, a certain family member of mine acts like everyone who doesn't vote for Obama is stupid. I'm for McCain and this person is always trying to win me over to the Obama side. It will quite simply not work.

Anyway, the question: Why do some people think their personal opinion is fact?

because they figure they get their information from tv, it must be true.

because everyone likes to believe that they are telling the truth. i usually tell ppl my opinion and then tell them that it is just an OPINION and don't go blaming me if it turnes out to be wrong.

could you answer my question:
