"The Right to Your Opinion" Response

My response towards,"The Right to Your Opinion", by Jamie Whyte is that everyone can have there own opinion, but that doesn't mean they're right. Simply saying that you're entitled to your own opinion doesn't win you the argument or make you correct. Everyone has the right to their own opinion, meaning that they can think whatever they want even though they may be wrong. Like Jamie Whyte said, when someone says they're entitled to their own opinion, it's a hint that the person has realized they're wrong and don't want to admit it. Nobody likes losing and when it comes to arguments you want to back up your opinion with plenty of evidence. When you hear what the other person has to say about a certain situation you begin to think to yourself, "maybe I am wrong". When this thought goes through your head you try to find a way out of it like saying, "I'm entitled to my own opinion", to end the argument. In conclusion, it's OK for everyone to have their own  opinions, but to start arguments, not knowing whether you're right or wrong, is where it's a bad thing.
