I tend to believe everything is relative......something you hate (a class for instance) will seem to drag on for hours....but try spending a few hours with someone you like and it blows by in no time.

I think this quote from Albert Einstein says it all:
"When you sit with a nice girl for two hours, it seems like two minutes. When you sit on a hot stove for two minutes, it seems like two hours that's relativity."

Therefore - if you believe in Absolutism, that is your stance relative to someone that believes in Relativism.

No, because it is still an opinion, which is in itself relative.
