Question Why do you feel it's important to express your opinion?

I don't mean opinions pertaining to helping someone with a personal problem.
I mean opinions on the important current events of the day. We have all done this many times over the years. Are we getting somewhere with it or getting something out of it? In what way are we/you better off for having done so?

Is giving your opinion a prescription for delaying the onset of dimentia? If you're going to get Alzheimer's, the seeds for that have already been planted, so good luck with that.

Are you going to save the world with your opinions?

Are you going to help stop the other guy from poluting the world with his/her dumb, uninformed, wrongheaded opinions? And without you he might prevail?

Perhaps you don't have any plan and it's just a strange compulsion/obsession? Are you on the board 2, 3, 4 or 5 hours per day? How many posts have you racked up?

Does it give you a feeling of self-worth? 15 minutes of fame?

If you die tomorrow, who's going to defend "right from wrong"? And if it doesn't matter, why are you here today?

Other reasons?
