Freudian theory is unfalsifiable pseudoscience.

I think all psychology counts as unfalsifiable pseudoscience :p

Your use of hyperbole (i.e. "all") invalidates the statement. ;)
Havohej:
Opinions are valid on their own merit, there's no invalidating a person's opinion. There's just disagreeing with it, which doesn't effect the opinion itself in the least :)
Casiella:
Except your opinion was a thin veneer over a factual statement. "Unfalsifiable" has a technical meaning, and while I personally think of psychology as a "pseudoscience", along with all the other soft sciences, much of it is indeed falsifiable.
