    I will not argue. My personal opinion is not worth more than yours and vice versa

      It’s not a “personal opinion.” And your “opinion” is NOT of equal worth to factual information. You’re just trying to save face because you don’t like admitting when you’re wrong. Maybe find some factual information that backs up your perspective rather than just baselessly claim that nuclear reactors put “millions at risk of immediate death” and run away when you can’t back it up. All it takes is a quick google search to disprove how it puts “millions at risk of immediate death.”

        I have other things to do rather than “saving my face” on a random political forum. I commented using my own personal opinion and I didn’t ask for a discussion. Of course most of the people are going to disagree and they do have the right to do so. Also, everyone has their own moral beliefs and value of facts. Mine are just not common

          Look, if your personal opinion of the moon is that it’s a hologram, it’s definitely worth less than, say, Buzz Aldrin’s opinion of the moon being made of rock.

          I don’t know who told you a personal opinion is worth exactly as much as someone else’s, but they were wrong.

          Giving value to bad opinions like “Oh Trump won we gotta storm the capitol” or “Vaccines cause autism” or “Nuclear is worse than coal” and refusing to engage with all evidence of the contrary and just leaving the conversation by saying “Mine are just not common” is an extremely unhealthy way to be a part of society. I live in Australia and the bush fires are getting worse. There’s a noticeable cost of lives and livelihoods. You’re not saving millions of lives from a nuclear meltdown by tearing down nuclear plants. You’re putting millions of lives in danger from climate disasters by tearing down nuclear plants.

          I hope you change for the better.

            I’d say I define a “personal opinion/belief” and a “scientific fact-proven piece of information” as different things. Personal opinions may be inspired by and dependent on religions, preferences, radical moral positions and other things (fact-proven information can be like that too but it’s different). Though I don’t know if it’s any right

            Yes because I’m trying to be above the arguing masses. Though I do admit that I’m still not that good at it unfortunately

              Conflict avoidance does not make you better than the “arguing masses.” In fact, it is my opinion that it is quite pathetic to try to place youself above others and I’m getting radical centrist vibes from you.

      No, their opinion is worth more than yours because it’s better supported by material facts

      You’re wrong and because you’re a deeply unserious person you’re trying to exit the interaction without learning or growing as a person by pulling this false modesty bullshit.
