My Opinion isn't (a) Right

Are you morally obligated to change someone's incorrect opinion?
If it endangers their well being, certainly.  The best course of action is to present the facts and allow them to make an educated choice.If they insist on their opinion, then you have done all that you can.  Ultimately, it is the individual's responsibility to make an informed decision.

Can you not have an opinion?
Initially I believed you could not, that you must have some type of leaning with any topic.  But after discussing it I believe that you can remain neutral or just not have the knowledge to dignify a belief.

"I am entitled to my opinion."
Perhaps it is true, perhaps not.  Two things are for certain: you are not entitled for your opinion to be right and saying so is a fallacious way to end an argument.

Interdependence-relationship in which each member is dependent on the other(s)
Schema-routines created for efficiency
Limbic-part of brain controlling emotions
When told your opinion is worth nothing, don't think with the limbic part of your brain.  That doesn't mean that you are worth nothing.
