for me, it is any topic dealing with other people's morals, especially when they have zero effect on my life. Like, let's say two lesbian deaf people want to have a deaf child... no opinion I'm somewhat weird in that I go so far to say that I have no morals except the "do unto others" thing. Even if somone else's morals cross paths with me...deal with it when it happens. Thus, no opinion right now. Until it happens, I'd rather be making barbeque to see what people's opinion is of my brisket. so, what is your opinion about things that you don't have an opinion about? Are opinions important, because they define us. Does the negative approach of "no opinion" define us, as well.
I usually only don't have an opinion about things that don't matter to me unless it offends me. Most of the arguing that people do is usually in vain anyways, it's all hypothetical and a waste of time...
I have no opinion on anything my wife asks me. I know that it will be wrong either way so I always just say whatever you think. IT makes my life much easier. CK
Crispee, I think its impossible not to have an opinion about everything. I mean, it my not matter or be important to you. But when you think about an issue, doesn’t your brain automatically give you an opinion ? btw, my opinion about this thread is very opinionated.
I agree with SJ, here. There's a difference between not having an opinion and not expressing an opinion. It's pretty tough <b>not</b> to have an opinion about most things. I'd love to render an opinion on your brisket, though
Technically, that IS an opinion. Choosing not to have an opinion is, in essence, having one - apathy.
nah,,,there is another level, Jeff. It is in essence...nothingness. Your mind goes blank. You really have no opinion Have you ever stood in line at the grocery store and someone points out the new Mach4 Razor and asks, "What do you think of that." "no opinion, those things have nothing to do with my life, and my brain cell capacity is limited." btw: what does "choosing" not to have opinion mean? I mean...you just don't have one, right. No choice required. You know, like I have no opinion on half of what the Supreme Courts is forced to argue...those judges ROCK!!! I'm glad someone else is deciding these things, because I sure don't want to dissect it. Also, the topic is "What Topics" not "Are you opinionated." I'm damn sure opinionated, and basketball is definitely high on my list. But I like to pick my moments. shove a Rueben in my face, and I will critique that thing down to the minutest level. You see, Mike Kahn taught me how to make the best Rueben in the world while I worked myself through college there. I know all the secrets, and I improved it. I've tried over 100 rueben's since....man, am I opinionated about this. Rueben bliss exists at Kahn's Deli in the Rice Village. And only order it from Mr. Kahn. Wait until Saturday, after the lunch rush. Ask for a "small, combo Rueben, extra toasted." If you say those exact words, Mr. Kahn will roll his eyes and whine about me. But, don't force conversation with him while standing in the order line. Move along...next! However, if you can say it with a Jewish Whine, with a straight face...hehe oh, and ask me about the Perfect Guiness. so, what topics do you have no opinion...guiness, rueben's, the Mach4, my brisket...Mrs. Castor27's new haircut... what?
Ok, everything you have just listed that you have an opinion on (with the exception of basketball) - BBQ, ruebens, beer - ... I have no opinion on them.
Israel Maybe it's not having an opinion, but more being tired of people talking who is right and who is wrong (Jews and Palestinians). I really don't think about it because they have been fighting for so long that it makes me *yawn*.
OOOh Oooh Ooooooh!!! I want to hear about the perfect Guinness. By the way, I know the "how's my spelling thingy" is all over, but try to refrain from misspelling my favorite beer again. Blasphemer.
I have no opinion on: 1) People that I don't know. 2) Opportunities I never missed. 3) Dead people. 4) People that should be dead. 5) People that look dead. 6) People that choose to be ignorant dorks. 7) People suffering from Cranial-Rectosis disease. (Buttheads, for those that don't understand) 8) People that do stupid things. (See #6-7) 9) Opinions that I've never had. 10) Opinions that I have no opinion of.

I don't like onions on lots of things, like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, fish, popcorn, to name a few.
