Top 10 Reasons Why Opinions Aren't Factual

I know most of you probably already know this but there is a difference between a fact and a opinion. Also I wasn't trying to make a comparison list before you ask.
The Top Ten
1 Stating your opinion about something doesn't make it a fact

Stating the Beatles is the best band ever is not a fact. Stating that Titanic is the best movie ever made is not a fact. Stating that Spongebob is the best cartoon ever is not a fact. All of these examples are just opinions plain and simple.

I don't like this list, I LOVE IT! Thank you for making it Jeff. People nowadays should realize that opinions are subjective and you don't need to necessarily agree with them.

2 Opinions vary on the person while facts just remain facts regardless

Very good list. I love it because I am one of the users on this site who always try to base their opinion on some facts.

If you hate or like something vary on your preferences while a fact is a fact regardless of what happens.

Yes RaccoonCartoon and, an opinion is an opinion and a fact is a fact!

3 Facts can be proven opinions can't

Again no explanation really needed.

4 Backing up sources verifies a fact while complaining about something you hate makes it an opinion

It honestly gets old seeing a few people not being able to tell the difference.

5 Even if you're trying to make the argument of why you hate something it's not a fact

Honestly this gets annoying.

6 Facts are important but opinions aren't
7 Saying something sucks is based on preference not factual proof

Just because you think Jake Paul or even Game Theory sucks doesn't make it a fact.

Fine list! Now practice what you preach.

8 There's no proof to opinions

Sometimes but now always. I remember an argument that I had back in Junior school.
The argument was that whether God exists or not. Now, whether God exists or doesn't it's a matter of fact. But who's the god, how many gods are there or even there is any God now is a point of argument and opinions. No one can proof their own theories. But one of them is surely right. So, an opinion hidden behind a fact. But we cannot see the eternal fact. We just get angry if we see a religious man. We call him religious nutjob. What happens if he is right and we are wrong. Or vice-versa. So, we just can see facts through our limitations. We can not always say that, a fact is a fact. Maybe there are greater facts beyond those facts. Who knows?

True.
However, I would like to add something. Opinions will always be opinions but some opinions are closer to being factually correct while others are far from that. Examples of 2 different types of opinions:
1) "Ozzy is the best singer ever". This is far from the truth by any definition of "good" singer that includes power, range, volume, vocal technique, etc. Yes, to make an opinion closer to being more or less credible, you have to have a good definition with measurable indicators that are objective.
2) "Freddie is the best singer ever". This is close to the truth considering his amazing range, power, vocal technique, etc.

Because they're subjective not OBJECTIVE.

9 Facts use valid sources opinions are just expressions
10 Facts have evidence opinions don't

@BoredJeff - some items on this list mean the same, just put differently. That's not just my opinion, it's also a fact.

Example: Jack The Ripper killed 5 people vs. BABY SUCKS IT'S JUST A FACT!
