You are not entitled to your opinion

You are, I think, entitled to the right to hold and express any opinion without being shut down by the State for doing so; that is where the entitlement ends.

I'm on the border with this one.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but for me it's the equivalent of saying just because when having a debate or a way to hide rudeness when they are critising your views with no other backup.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion - can you say a little more about what you mean when you say that? As the second article asks, what duty does this entitlement impose on others?
