20ten (or insert name of any Prince album, or anything at all, really) sucks = OPINION

I think 20ten is a really good album = FACT

The operative word here is "think".

People spew opinions like puke, but rarely put forth facts.

Just saying...

Seriously, if you can't handle the FACT that people don't use the words IMO before every statement they make, then it's my OPINION that you should log off the internet, it's can be a scary place for sensitive souls.

Mmm hmm. OK. Can't you handle my opinion? I have as much right to post on the internet as anybody else. Hypocrites.

First: Total bait thread.

Second: You contradicted yourself.

I honestly am not trying to flame or troll here. It's just with so many different types of fans, and fans of different eras, sounds, what-have-you, reading things like (and I paraphrase here) "20ten totally sucks balls!", or "Prince just doesn't have 'it' anymore", or "(again, insert any album) is his best work, hands down", it occurs to me that opinions are stated as fact, when in fact, they are just opinions. I am not sure where I contradicted myself, if I did, it was (obviously) unintentional. The difference between fact and opinion is, however, fact. Of course, your opinion may differ.

Fixed that for you so it adheres to your rules.

Rules? What rules? I don't recall posting any rules. I recall posting facts and opinions. I absolutely DO have that right. Do you not mind people posting opinions as fact? It's the English language's rules, not mine. Not that it matters any more. No, we no longer have to go by the actual rules. Fuck it. I guess we are ALL islands. Why do you even care what I say? Mostly, I posted the original message because I thought it was lame that people talk so much shit on Prince for doing what he wants, as if he OWES them something, and they know what's best for him (like benevolent dictators). He's a grown man, and can make his own decisions. So can I. I have decided that I stand by my remarks.
