Someone stating their opinion.
100% depends on the opinion
Absolutely.
"It's just my opinion" isn't a valid defence when you should have kept that opinion to yourself.
"Your baby is ugly" might even be true, but it's not something you actually say to people.
Hate to say it, but my brother's child was an ugly newborn. She's fine now, years later, but that face wasn't pretty on day one. I lied. I'd do it again.
Shit. My youngest was so ugly I pull up pictures just to show off the level of ugliness that he had obtained. But after his first birthday he decided to take after his mother in the looks department instead.
Edit: but I definitely saw him through daddy goggles at the time and I'm glad no one said I had an ugly baby.
I'm not a bigot, but in my opinion the sliding scale between jam and marmalade is so fine that it's not worth distinguishing between them, it should be a spectrum of preserves.
Whoa, cool your jets.
Worst is stating an opinion to a group of people that all disagree. It doesn't matter whether you have good arguments or not, what matters most is whether they respect you.
