Yea but it is normal for others to think they are right and the other one is wrong.

Opinions aren't about right or wrong.

They are all about informed vs misinformed, sane vs insane, and well founded vs baseless.

Yes because it's only an opinion and that doesn't make it a fact.

Depends on what you mean by "right or wrong" I guess. If you mean true or false, then no. Opinions are not true or false. If an "opinion" is true, it's a fact and not an opinion.

If you mean "right or wrong" in terms of morality. Like evil or good. Then yes they can.

I'd say the vast majority of opinions are wrong.

I'd have to agree with this. How can opinions never be wrong? That never made sense to me. An opinion is defined as a belief or judgment but if one were to say, "I believe that gravity does not exist," would they not be wrong simply on the grounds that they're expressing that statement as an "opinion?" That seems nonsensical.

Opinions can be wrong in the sense that they make false statements about reality.

Yes opinions can be wrong. Generally speaking people with dumbass opinions will tell you otherwise.

But then they're statements of fact not opinions, aren't they?

Sentences like "In my opinion gravity doesn't happen." seems nonsensical to me.
