People Have The Right To Be Wrong

What do you think about this saying?  I think it is true.

Is this another way to phrase "freedom of choice"?

This is funny. 

Sure they do, even in their ignorance.  We are supposed to learn and grow from our wrongs, but.............................doesn't always happen.

Everyone is wrong sometimes and that's okay if they're willing to accept the truth based on new evidence and learn from it. If they are wrong and insist that they're right, go on TV and preach about how right they are, and spread their ignorance like a virus, then that's not okay with me. 

 

Being wrong is one thing, but lying or misleading people is another thing altogether.

Define wrong, because this blanket statement sounds subjective to me......

I didn't know it was a saying; I thought it was a simple fact of life.  Yes, we have the right to be wrong.  Although, "wrong" is relative.  We also have the right to change our minds and our opinions.  It's calle having an open mind....

It sounds like a trick question, with political implications behind it, to me.

Yes it's true, but it doesn't mean that they cannot be told they are wrong.  It's like freedom of speech, you have the right to say pretty much whatever you want but you also must be prepared to accept the consequences of what you say.

It's really sad that we live in a world where facts, health, and science have somehow become political.
