There is nothing that bothers me more than people without opinions. I think here, in the opinion page, we should be able to express our opinions. Our opinions, which define us, which describe us; our opinions, which are us. I think that in life, there are two important things, to have opinions and to be able to express them. I am not saying that you need to be passionate about everything, I am saying that you need to be passionate about something; that in order to have your life count, to have a goal, to have direction, you need to believe in something. I don't care if it is God or that the Lunar Landing was a hoax, anything. The problem with opinionless people is that they cannot have a drive because they have nothing that drives them. I don't believe in apathy (as previously mentioned), but I do believe that the lack of opinions means a lack of critical thinking. It is human nature to hear something and have a thought about it. It is human to have opinions despite all the proof.
I think that humans need to be able to move outside of themselves; to think bigger. People should not say, "I don't care. It doesn't affect me." Because it affects someone. People need to stand up, but to do that, they need to have something to stand up about. But that is just my opinion.
