The Comeback of the Word 'OPINION'

Society today is doing nothing worthwhile. Since when did having an opinion become a bad thing? People even have the gall to look you in the eye and call you sarcastic or rude when you give your two cents about a subject. Just because it didn't mesh with theirs. Life is built on opinion, mainly because giving your opinion on a subject is a way of evolving on something or making it better. You get to see the flaws and perfections through the eyes of others.
Even in the schools a child's opinion is over looked because of his or her's age and what they are saying isn't making any sense to the elders because they think they know best. 
A person's character is created and built on whether or not they can think for themselves and show others something that sets them aside from the rest, but when you are forced to repeat the same thing every cycle you end up becoming a 'back it up' person. That person who always agrees and goes along with the others of the group because following is what comes easy for them instead of stopping, thinking it through, forming an opinion on the matter and letting the world know you don't or do stand for it.
I have ended a lot of friendships because people tend to get tired of me having an opinion on everything. It's true, I won't deny it, but let me say this, why in the seventh hell does my opinions bother people so much?
It's not like I'm trying to be difficult for difficult sake, it's just how it is. If you say you don't like the movie because it has too much violence and cussing and I jump in and say 'well to me that was the better part of the show,' where in that sentence does it give a person grounds to get angry?
Really, this is just too much. All these rules on what and what not to say is just getting longer and longer. If this continues, by 2020 when I go out with others I'm going to have to carry along someone with me who really understands the language of the simple minded so that when it's my turn to contribute to the conversation I will just shift my eyeballs in their directions so they can give me some kind of signal stating that it is okay to give my honest opinion or lie lie lie to make the rest happy.
