is the majority always right?

Answer 1

No, no they aren't.

Answer 2

Of course not. There are countless examples throughout history where the majority were clearly wrong. Too many people don't have the education or the background to examine facts, or are just too lazy, or are giving in to their own emotions, so that they "go with the flow", rather than examine the facts. This is true with just about every issue imaginable. Ignorance can be vincible (overcome with the effort it takes to study and think), or invincible (can't be overcome because of mental limitations). Those who are vincibly ignorant are so by their own decision not to examine issues. An ignorant person will always have plenty of company, and he or she will not be bothered with burden of thinking. Unfortunately, however, ignorant people also are voters, and frequently they do form a majority vote.

Answer 3

In a democratic process the majority will always be right because that is how a democracy works, this would even apply if the majority decided that the minority was right. This is because the majority has accepted the minority as being right. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

It is never right, even if the majority will say the opposite! :)

Answer 5

No......Just because you have an *opinion* and most people who debate on the issue have the same *opinion* doesn't make it right.

Bottom line, none of us knows the truth.
