EVERYONE deserves to have an opinion even if it is wrong.

It's not about an opinion being wrong, it's about being able to argue for said opinion, if you can't do that, you don't deserve to have an opinion.


Saying someone "doesn't deserve to have an opinion" because they can't argue for it is an opinion in and of itself. No one gets to decide and dictate who does and who doesn't get to have an opinion.

If you want examples of what happens when people start to try and control who gets to have an opinion and who doesn't, look at Communist China and North Korea.

It's not about control, it's always been about being able to argue for an opinion. If you can't do that, you may as well not have an opinion.

Nope, if you can't argue for your opinion, you don't get to have one.

Not every opinion has to be argued for. I can say I like goldfish and leave it at that. I don't need to get into a heated debate over why I like goldfish and argue it all out like an autistic lawyer.

No one said the debate has to be heated. But what are you going to do when someone asks you why? Just ignore it? Sure you could, but at that point, you may as well not said anything at all.

Everyone can have an opinion. If you cannot back it up, your opinion can be taken as a joke.

d1234's idea of an opinion is repeating it over and over again without elaborating or making a case for it.
