Those are all interpretations of facts. Only whether they're the correct interpretation is up to debate.
The facts are:
The girl and the guy locked eyes
The applicant has a tattoo
Fighting games play in a certain way
The fact that the belief system exists in the first place
The psychopath is the only tough one here. It's more likely than not there is a basis somewhere grounded in fact... although the fact could be wrong, because well, it's a psychopath. That's not really important.
1. Only her opinion on the guy is not based on that they locked eyes or not, only initiated by it. If this never happened she would have no opinion.
2. This one I'll give you. Because you can technically backtrack all the way to society here. As in it is a fact that society tells him that tattoo people are rebels, so the fact that he has a tattoo leads to the opinion that he is a rebel.
3. I don't even know how to combat this one since I'm not sure the argument being made. Its one thing to say you don't like something because you're bad at them, but to say you like or don't like something because of your OPINION of what is fun or not a fact, then it gets kind of silly.
For instance
Say I like the color Blue but I don't like the color Green.
You could say "Fact Blue and Green are different"
But this only works if I dislike Green because it's not Blue.
The problem is I can not reverse the argument to make a False statement because it eliminates one of the subjects.
4. I'll give this one to you too. Even if you peel back the onion to the start, I can't think of a reason why they would start cannibalism that is not based on some form of fact. Like "this person ate it and did not die" or something would still be based on a fact.
5. Here is. "I have a moral belief that..." Morals, while might or might not be based in fact, have too many complex parts for me to really go into for the argument.
Added
I'm in a bad mood. My opinion on life is that it sucks.
I'm in a good mood. My opinion on life is that it does not suck as much.
These are emotionally based and not fact based. Unless you really want to say "It's a fact that your moods are different" which really does not work sine I am not making an opinion on my mood.
