MY OPINION!
From Fandom wank wiki
This page details a Jurisimprudence law.
In response to this wank on OTF_Wank:
| “ | So it's a rule that you can say outrageous shit without backlash if you just tack MY OPINION! on the end? Awesome.
All the blacks should go back to Africa. MY OPINION! Homosexuals are dirty and spread AIDS. MY OPINION! Someone needs to slap the cock out of biz0u_'s mouth. MY OPINION! That's got to be a Jurisimprudence law. | ” |

And so it became one, the Rule of the Internet Op-Ed. Formulated by altoidsaddict
Credit to kadath: So it's a rule that you can say outrageous shit without backlash if you just tack MY OPINION! on the end?
Submitting the Rule of the Internet Op-Ed: A statement of fact, no matter how obviously incorrect or idiotic, cannot be subject to challenge if it contains the words "my opinion." The right to free speech makes such statements more valid than statements with actual proof.
And the Evening News Corollary: If your "opinion" happens to agree with a story you saw on the news, that's a valid data set.
The penalty for following this rule is to listen to a tape of Ben Stein reading off census data, county-by-county, with neither sleep nor food nor drink until it's finished.
