oicur12.again - I dont have much interest in this totally subjective nonsense.
Again I am not surprised. Here is some education on the subject.

OBJECTIVITY & SUBJECTIVITY
The difference between these two important ideas is the difference between fact and opinion.
Facts are objective and provably true; however, if no clear facts exist about a topic, then a series of balanced opinions needs to be produced to allow the reader to make up his or her mind; opinions are subjective ideas held by individuals and so are always biased. If unbalanced opinions are presented as if they are facts, they act as propaganda or persuasion, e.g. a newspaper headline might state: "Youngsters are the prime cause of trouble in this area". This is presented as an objective fact but is clearly a subjective opinion.

A good example:
I would never go out in so many parts of Sydney and feel safe.
An objective piece of information, therefore, needs either to be the whole truth and at least be unbiased or balanced,(eg The Economist) whereas a subjective point of view is biased because it is either not the complete picture or it is merely a viewpoint or expression of feelings.
Objective + Subjective
