Why do some people on the site don't understand that opinions are subjective?

Act like their opinion is fact, becoming aggressive or defensive, when someone disagrees with them and sometimes even block you and are unable to have a civilized conversation? I've only ever seen this happening in real life; people there try to refute your argument courteously and politely.

The difference between opinions and facts are that facts can be proven by objective, often scientific demonstrations, but opinions are are subjective, based on beliefs and not provable. Here are some examples of facts: -There are 50 states in the United States. -Your heart pumps blood through your body. -The earth orbits around the sun.

vS opinions: · The cake tastes delicious. · She looks sad. · He is childish. · My history teacher hates me. · The movie was boring.- Scotland is the best place in the world to live.-This actress is beautifu; -This country is the most beautiful country in the world
