nor by imagination....but by opinion.

  Opinions are derived from thought and imagination. Hence, world is run by them.

Actually opinions were not taken from imagination and opinion is much deeper then thought u can almost say thought was taken from opinion.this world is not run by thought or imagination.Just a opinion ha

  I stick by my guns

  Opinions DERIVED from thought and/or imagination. You have to THINK to come to an opinion.....and sometimes it requires imagination...but always requires thought.

  if you had a leader with mindless opinions....or crazy imaginative opinions.....we'd be in deep doo doo without thought.

  My point in first post was that it is moot mindless drivel. do we really need every thought that comes into someones head?

  My point exactly

Maybe u are right ,but my point was that they are so many opinions that are thoughtless and lack imaganation sometimes the opinion is the base of the thought not the other way around.

Problem for many is they let someone else do the thinking for them, then buy into the opinion. Like people that post political topics end up swaying some that are just lost sheep without opinions of their own. So the topic itself does not sway them, but the words do. Such as Hitler was a complete animal, but also a very good speaker. He led many people over the cliff with his words. Thus, opinions are the prize of a politician.

You guys are really "taxing my brain" with this....I've sit  here, reading the posts over and over.....HAHA!...I give up!.....

My "imaginations" run wild while I'm sleeping.....next morning....I think about what my imaginations were....then I sort of debate with myself...which in "my opinion" would be the best course of what I dreamed about....So with me it's...imagination, thought, then opinion.
