Is it possible to have a completely objective opinion on an issue? Explain.

Personally, I don't think so.

Every information we have is by principle, biased. We can never have a full picture on the issue (we don't live long enough to have ALL the information and all the other people's opinions) so this means that we only know a selection of relevant information. This selection biases our perception of the issue: so in this way, I think that we are bound to be at least a little bit biased.
