Opinion: 1 a : a view, judgment, or appraisal formed in the mind about a particular matter

I'm having a hard time thinking of what opinions might be stupid

I thought I had offered one--the bit about the war and the avocados. How about these?
-It's safer to drive that to fly.
-Trent Lott is the best hope for the homeless to get adequate housing.
-You can cure your AIDS by having sex with children.
-A murderer who wants to keep out of jail should be completely open and honest with the police.
-If there's a thunder storm, you should find the tallest tree and stand under it.
-It would be great fun to spend a weekend marooned on a desert island with the denizens of BB.

The last one may be a matter of preference; the rest are stupid opinions. If an opinion is based on inadequate or incorrect information or if it represents a poorly reasoned conclusion, then it's either ignorant or stupid or both. Valid opinions should be able to stand up reasonably well under scrutiny.
