My Opinion Isn't (A) Right

-People often use "I have the right to my opinion" as a defensive move in an argument
-The dispute is often left with this statement but it does not actually resolve the dispute in anyway, it actually changes the topic completely
-Why do we feel that we can't change our minds on something while in an argument even if we know that we are wrong?
-Why do we feel that our opinions are so precious and that we must protect them?
-Rights are only made possible if other people do their duty to give you that right
-We don't have the "right" to our opinion because it is not other people's duty to give others this right
-Is ego the reason why we guard our opinions so strongly
- There is no circumstance in which you have the right to your opinion
-If there was a car coming and you wanted to cross the street and it was your opinion that there wasn't a car there. Do I have a duty to give you the right to your opinion and let you get hit by the car?
