YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO YOUR OPINION!

The Search for the Truth. 

For numerous years, several people  have been almost "brain-washed" by the infamous slogan, "I have a right to my opinion". Since, the slogan is used so consistently we just perceived the words to be true. In regards to human rights, being entitled to your opinion does not adequately meet the requirements. To start off, a right is something that belongs to you that other people must abide by. Now, I don't recall any law/amendment that forces us people to let you bear your own opinion. In gist, it is not mandatory to let you keep your opinion if I desired to I can attempt to  change your opinion with reasoning and or evidence. Therefore, how can you have the "right" to your opinion? Secondly, there is no law that requires people listen to your opinion. As a result, I can simply choose to be ignorant and ignore your stance without any conflict. Lastly, the slogan is typically used to end a debate when the losing stance is it too stubborn to admit their fault. In other words, people use the phrase as a safety net almost to catch their mistake in an argument. This implicitly represents that people constructed this false entitlement in attempt to cover up their fallacy. Therefore, whenever this saying is quoted it creates a greater distance in the road to discover the truth in an argument. In conclusion, you are not entitled to your opinion, the slogan is pointless and rude almost. So, take all the stated above into consideration the next time you hear the well-known saying.
