Notes from Socratic Seminar/Right to Your Opinion
- Jamie Whyte stated, that although we think we're entitled to our own opinion were really not.
- As Tyler said it best, "Saying you have the right to your own opinion is like saying you have the right to be stupid."
- We don't have any rights
- Saying you have the right to your own opinions in an argument is like throwing in the towel, and giving a last minute weak argument.
- When Whyte used his Jack and Jill reference and Jack says he has the right to his own opinion, he defeats the whole purpose of the argument, and doesn't answer the original question.
- Many people are too stubborn to change their ideas, or point of view, so they just claim their right to their opinion.
- People always talk about freedom of speech, and their ability so speak about whatever they want, but that was made for to satisfy our wants as a society.
- Is it our duty to prevent someone from crossing the street into oncoming traffic?
- I mean they're entitled to their own opinion.
- The truth is, is that we think were in entitled to our own opinion but were really not.
