Why do we always have to be right? We live in a unique time in human history where opinions are given more weight than they should ever be allowed to have. Therefore, when youre opinion differs from that of somebody else, you become a social pariah. This question arose after Josh went to see Wonder Woman and wasnt as thrilled with it as everybody else.
