Don't want to be considered foolish/thoughtless? Then don't make public statements of your opinion presented as fact without being able to back that opinion up with thought out rationale.This is how the real world works; you will be expected to defend viewpoints you put out into public arena/ social media. If you can't then you diminish yourself and people will no longer consider what you have to say.</blockquote>
