Is it possible to have an unbiased opinion?

Surely by definition, all opinions are going to be influenced by something, otherwise they're not opinions... I guess an objective perspective is a fairer phrase.
 
No doubt objective perspectives will be ones that tally with your own?

The days when I thought I'd be able to change anyone's opinions are decades gone, bro - I've got adult daughters, so that pipe dream hope was killed off long ago. In general regarding politics, I don't trust anyone telling me how I should think, whether on the left or the right - just two wings on the same bird.

Same here. Though the older I get I realise a lot of things I told my dad he was wrong about prove not to be the case. A few times my wife has said to me that you told your dad he was talking nonsense and now you are saying the same. I guess what Mark Twain said about it was true.
Have enjoyed seeing my son tearing his hair about grandson doing the things he did that he thought I shouldn’t have been upset about.<laugh>
