Well, it may be true that "facts don't care about your feelings,” but we must remember that feelings often don't care about the facts, either. It's like two nonchalant cats passing each other on a narrow fence: neither is really bothered about the other, but both are ready to bring out their claws in a pinch. Yes, our feelings can bring color to the grayscale monotony of facts, but they can also lead us to conclusions that are as stable as a three-legged chair on a buttered floor. This saying is a clear reminder though, when someone's opinion is as ridiculous as a kangaroo in a dinner jacket, just remember, those factual claws always have your back.

Technically correct, but it's so often used as a buzzword (buzz-phrase?) to shut down logical arguments, or to just be a dick.
