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?

Is this a list of things you have pondered concerning your own personal motivations or style? How have YOU answered your own questions, VillagesPL?
If this was meant for others and not you, then I will oblige:
I tend to keep my opinions of current world events private and subscribe to the notion that others be allowed to think or believe as they choose.
