Carry on.
Since when it has been necessary to have some serious first hand and long time experience about something to have opinion about it?

Also, first hand experience is often bound to be more or less subjective as the sample tends to be small, unless you really examine the subject.

I bet you have opinion or two about Russia, Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, muslims outside US, or muslims in US. And it hasn't stopped just to opinions, you have made war in many countries.
