Current Events > Something i agree with that Piers Morgan said

(+) Yeah! (+)

I couldent find the soapbox thread, so i thought here would be ok.

Now i know that Piers Morgan is not a widely liked man, or a man whos opinions are widely agreed with. But sometimes.......just sometimes, i do think he makes good points.

When he came out and said "cant you stand it when you speak to someone hoping for a view point from them and they just come out and say, actually i dont have an opinion on that. Well why not?....why have you not taken the time to engage your brain so you do have a viewpoint on it?"

I do agree with him that it is annoying when you come across someone who keeps being opinionless on nearly everything. Because from my experiences, people that are opinionless nearly all the time are rubbish at conversations, they are rubbish at carrying conversations, and i think i know why.

Nearly every conversation topic out there is based on an opinion isnt it?. When someone talks about politics, the catalyst of the very conversation is their political viewpoints. When someone makes a conversation about a movie for example, it stems from their opinion on said movie. So it explains why opinionless people are rubbish at conversations.

not everyone is gonna have an opinion about everything every time, that's just preposterous to think that should be a thing. i don't know exactly how you are defining "nearly everything" or "nearly all the time" though.

That is true i agree. There is the odd thing out there i dont have opinions on, because i havent thought about it enough, or i havent seen enough evidence to convince me to take a side.

i guess i was making this thread as i have know someone who was pretty much opinionless on over 50% of conversation topics i tried making with them, and yeah, as a result i ended up finding them rubbish at conversations, and not good at carrying conversations.

My conclusion was that the two go hand in hand with each other. People who have lots of opinions tend to be good at conversations. Those who dont have many opinions tend not to be.
