Errr, I dislike olives.

You guys gotta stop dealing an aboslutes. This nobody/everybody stuff will make you wrong more than right much of the time. Try an 'almost' preceeding them, at least.

When you're sitting around with friends haing a discussion do you disect every thought to make sure it's totally accurate or do you ever engage in a little hyperbole?

I'm betting in a RL conversation, it's the latter.

(ps. just trying to be constructive guys. Adding a little tempering to even the wildest hyperbole makes your arguments much more solid - when someone pulls you up on any easy refutation of an absolute, you just say 'I did say "almost"' - see how more solid you appear?)
