It depends on what the subject is. If you think that the color blue is the best color then I will accept that as your opinion.
If you think genocide is progress, I have to disagree, maybe even argue the point.
It all depends on the context. Sorry that I have to live by the laws I feel govern me, but if we just let the unintelligent, prejudice, and ignorant people yell things out without facts or any thought process, well then my friend somebody has to tell them that freedom of speech is free, up until you threaten other people's freedoms, then I have the freedom to refute.
I don't care if you like ford or chevy, I don't care what music you listen to. Those are all opinions of choice, but don't tell me that all people must obey your god because that's what you grew up with... that's just ignorant. Everyone feels they have an open mind as long as the other person says things that they can agree with.

Solid question.
I think it's mainly because people are so focused on what they perceive to be the truth that they lose sight of the greater picture. They spend so much time trying to back their own beliefs and ideology that they feel threatened when anyone else has a different view then theirs.
They can't just say "Thank you for your thoughts" and file it away as a differing opinion. They feel the need to attack the person with different beliefs in an attempt to further their own agenda.
But hey, this is just my opinion.

By expressing an opinion, it is assumed that you are, on some level, trying to convince others that it is the truth, otherwise you wouldn't speak up.
So basically, you can have any opinion you want, and no one can say anythign about it, until you put it out in the world. Then you've opened the door for it to be criticised and attacked.
That's how good ideas prosper and poor ideas are shot down.

Because more than too many people believe they're correct in what they think. That leads to dangerous lines of thought including "Everyone else's opinion is wrong" Technically makes that person's opinion wrong too but anyway, I wish those people would open their eyes and minds and see the world for what it is and not in such a narrow scope of things.

Some people do but, others are quick to get mad or at least irritated if you say something that they disagree with. We do waste alot of time arguing and less time respecting the opinion of others.

oy , Who give you the right to have an opinion eh
we all decide if you have an opinion, but in my opinion i think we all should allow you to have an opinion on this opinion.
i don't mind any body having an opinion as long as mine is right lol

There is an aggressive trend towards thought conformity in this country.
In order to be 'acceptable' it appears we must all be fully employed or sensible science/business students, politically correct,conventional, nonsmoking and atheist (and with a severe chip on our shoulders for anyone who is any different)
Whatever

Some people are just so spoiled they think that everything they say is right. It all has to do with how that person was raised. Some people are so used to getting their way they get overly sensitive when they dont.
