Dude. I'm going to use caps in this next part so you pay attention to it. An OPINION that isn't based on reason or logic IS STILL AN OPINION. It doesn't matter if it's the stupidist opinion in the world, it's still an opinion. You're talking about punishing people for their opinions.

I very clearly explained myself in my previous post. Read it again. Don't argue with me about it until you read it again. You're not considering what people in this thread are saying - you're just arguing with them for the sake of arguing. That's not how discussions work.
edit: Heaps of people in this thread need to read the rules. Don't enter a discussion if you don't know your shit. At least have half an idea of what's going on before you post.

You said "prejudice is SIMPLY an opinion which someone has on something"
The word simply implies there are no complexities to the matter. As the definition of it explained, it is not simply just any opinion.
I also specified that I AM TALKING ABOUT ACTIONS NOT THOUGHTS. Sorry for caps.
Is that ok? Or do you still not understand what I meant in the discussion starter.

Opinions are your thoughts on something, note that they are not necessarily based on facts or knowledge.
Prejudice is a pre-made belief on something based on simply what you see. 0 reason, logic, experience or thought behind it.
Prejudice and opinion may seem to mean the same thing, but they are seriously different in almost every way.

Pretty close, but "based on simply what you see" is wrong, that implies logic and experience which contradicts the definition.
Prejudice cannot have any logic or experience behind it at all, those are the two requirements.
<Faint> the rules have been stated quite clearly 3 times now from high staff
