"I was pondering whether one opinon could ever be superior than another, or if many of the same opinons were superior over one single different opinion. I have concluded that it's all a matter of opinion." A quote of mine, agree, disagree, humerous, stupid? Give me your opinion, lol.

Well, it amounts to going back to core of basics... the purpose of communication , as it evolved primitively! Sharing the 'experience' to afford the avoidance of same kind of pitfalls for others!
Now we have made the process of passing 'opinion' so complex , complicated & confusing, that even answering a 'valued' question as this one, becomes a speculative opinion!

Well honestly, if it's only someone's opinion & not a factual statement then I guess one doesn't reign supreme over the other. But then, u could value the opinions kinda like John Stuart Mill(great philosopher of utilitarianism) did w/pleasures. How he put pleasures into a value system. Some pleasures r valued higher then others. I believe the same 2 b tru 4 opinions.It just depends on who the opinion is coming from.

I think that the value of an opinion can be determined. For example, if two people give me differing opinions on something, I will ask them why they think the way they do. If one person responds with "because," and the other person gives me several reasons why, I would be more likely to value the opinion that has support behind it. :)
But, that is just my opinion.

Opinions are just that opinions and none are superiors if you want the truth you need to collect data and get the facts opinions are not worth any value. for example, I might see a young woman in the street and think she is fat another guy might think she is sexy now if you think she is sexy you will say my opinion has no value. However, the fact is that she is over weight.

We can argue for or against anything. And we do! 600 years ago, it was the opinion of the majority of people that the world was flat. Claiming otherwise was a good was to get in serious trouble.
What I value in an opinion? Entertainment?

The value of an opinion is measured by the value of the person giving the opinion.
