Comments on socratic seminar: "The Right to Your Own Opinion"

Most of us when creating opinions first look at what we cannot even include in our train of thought. Believing that it is ok to kill someone without being punished or stealing something that is not yours and claiming it as your own are conditions that most do not agree with. But why? Rules and laws. These two simple words define the majority of opinions by human beings. But what happened before rules and laws existed? People most likely regulated their opinions by arguing about how they felt, not by what a group decided to mandate as a law. 

Also I believe it is necessary for one to look at how "the right to your own opinion" is literally written. If we decided to eradicate the entire saying and declare that "you have your opinion and I have mine", I believe society would abandon the obsession by the word "right". It seems to just add too many dimensions that people often stray from the subject at hand.
