Okay, Surfacing, how old are you? I mean that honestly, because we generally learnt the difference between Fact and Opinion back in Year 10 English... Allow me to fill you in on this apparently hazy section of your knowledge:
Fact: A Fact is a statement that can be proven objectively to be true of false. The statement "Most Oranges are Orange" is a fact, as it can be proven to be true. The statement "Most Oranges are Blue" is also a fact, as it can be proven to be false.
Opinion: An Opinion is a statement that cannot be proven objectively, as it is subjective and can differ from person to be person and still be true. The statement "Oranges are nice" is an opinion. It is true from the point of view of the speaker, but it may not be true from someone else's point of view. There is no Objective Truth on the matter; It cannot be proven one way or another.
So, the statement "Most Bands are Male" is a Fact. The statement "Female bands are shit" is an Opinion. Learn to tell the difference, and I predict that this argument will cease...
