Can you express an objective opinion?

The more I take the time to listen to people around me, the more I've discovered how enjoyable it is to decipher whether or not they are expressing an educated and objective statement about the topic of discussion. I've found that people are so quick to jump to conclusions or jump on one side of an argument without truly having a solid idea of both sides of the debate. I think it is unreasonable to comment on a topic of which you have not completely researched. This applies to any topic, whether it's politics, cultural practices, pop culture, world news, etc. So, no matter how much you have heard about a subject, do some research on your own and before jumping to conclusions - think objectively and then, speak freely! A conversation between people who are educated on both sides of the story is completely tantalizing.
