You certainly can't prove anything without them

I mean that, two people may well be able, with the same axioms, to reach a different conclusion.
I doubt it. I could be wrong, but my suspicion is that if we began at the same place, most of us would arrive at the same place as well. Of course, that's pure speculation, and impossible to test.

Regardless, it is probably a good idea to state "axioms" because i think it will still make your views much clearer, and although the logic to its conclusion is probably still subjective, it does restrict much what is still reasonable.
Precisely my point.
