If you weren't allowed to voice your opinion about anything for 10 days,

What would you talk about?
I was reading an article about a woman who did just that, but then I was thinking to myself wouldn't you have to be completely silent for 10 days then? Pretty much everything is an opinion.
If I ordered a hamburger, I could tell someone that it has ketchup on it (fact), but I couldn't tell them that it tastes delicious (my opinion). Wouldn't that get old fast?

I could talk about the different aspects of my job or what happened in a book or a show; what's going on around town or what took place during my day. I don't have to give an opinion on any of it.

@NineLives: that's why it'd be interesting to try.

@NineLives: "I got a new purse." Then you show them and let them give their opinion. It's not so difficult that there would be nothing to talk about. That's another thing: one can just ask questions and listen to the other person talk for a change. I've carried on conversations for hours that way because I knew the person needed to talk. It wasn't necessary or appropriate for me to give my opinion to let someone else vent. I only talked to ask them questions which kept them talking.

@Ephemeral: 50% of what you said there was opinion.

I might try this. It sounds like a good exercise psychologically. I gave up gossiping for 2 weeks. That was useful to me but annoying to others lol. I'm gonna give it a go or at least heighten my awareness of opinions.
