    I love this index card… really sums up most conversations (debates or arguments) we all have on a daily basis… and yet there are people that are consistently on one side of the graph.

    This should be laminated and mounted in a museum as one of life’s perfect truths.

    I wonder, can the A and B be transposed?

    A = moderates
    B = extremists

    Let’s not forget the overlap between Doubt and Certainty, which is Religion.

    Algoss, could religion fall in opinions. Works for me….

    Guess you could include politics, love, or any topic in opinions. Make it interesting.

    then you can debate and argue over the opinion, religion, politics, etc. hmmm

    I just posted a link to this on Pharyngula, in an article about Creationists challenging sceintists to a debate.

    TJ, I feel like there’s a difference between an “opinion” and a “belief”, though I can’t articulate what that difference would be at the moment.

    Believers would call it faith …

    If my opinion is that I am certain about my doubts, where does that fall?

  20. Zarchne Says:

    Kerry: are you willing to argue about it?

  21. TJ Says:

    I am seeing this Venn diagram today and I see it more clearly. If you mix doubts with opionions you get debates. If you mix certainty with opinions you get arguments.

    @ Matt E. I guess belief and opinion could be interchangeable; and with similar results. If you mix belief with doubts you get debates. If you mix belief with certainty you get arguments. Maybe? :-)
