Unpopular Opinions

[Relish in Chaos]

Yeah, war is pretty natural, if history has anything to say about it.

If I had to live in any time, it'd be the 80s and 90s.

Animal testing is wrong, and I don't care if it's to find a cure for your little Timmy with leukaemia or whatever, that still doesn't justify hurting and/or killing an innocent, feeling living animal just because your automatically biased ass thinks that humans are so much more important than animals. Maybe they are, but not to that extent.

Well, this IS a thread called unpopular opinions. And I knew that that opinion is unpopular, but I still think first world countries are assholes.

A fight should not be broken up between 2 men who disagree, let them fight and whoever wins shakes hands with the other, no weapons, no whinging, just men who allowed their anger get the better of them releasing it.

THIS! As long as they don't seriously hurt each other, or hurt anyone else, let them! It's their body's they're banging up, it's they who will face the repercussions. So LET THEM.
Unless one of them does not want to fight and has not deserved a beating, as in the one who started it is just an asshole with no good reason to fight.

I wasnt disagreeing with you about global warming simply that these countries arent assholes as its a huge generalisation with bad logic. Im not an asshole because somepne else in my country is responsible for a large amount of CO2.

I like you, can we be bros? I agree with pretty much all of that.
I tell one of my friends that war is needed, and I'm seen as a fucking psycho.

I'm a big fan of balance. Where there is one kid with no food, there's a kid gorging himself.
Where someone is being sheltered by their parents, another is being neglected.

There must be balance.

If the world turned peaceful, I would bomb buildings and fight everyone that looked at me funny. If the world turned to chaos, I would advocate, preach and practice peace.

All of human sexuality is a choice. Regardless of one's "proclivities," who/what you do and don't have sex with is entirely up to you.

Well that isn't sexuality. Sexuality is to do with uncontrollable attractions and responses, not what you then do with them.

here's another one

I am eternally grateful alot of you people arnt in positions of power (you know..evil dictor levels of power)

 

[Frostbite3789]

I think EA is pretty ok.

 

[zelda2fanboy]

I don't think gas prices are really that high. It's not going to significantly effect the economy and people's lifestyle choices until it gets to be about 7 bucks a gallon.

College is pointless and unnecessary for 90% of the people who go. Growing college debt is going to fuel another economic collapse.

Real estate should be this cheap, if not cheaper. Property, i.e. things that don't do anything, go anywhere, or significantly change should not inherently go up in value. Also, "the rent is too damn high."

Democrats and Republicans aren't really that different from each other. Each wants big government and the ones that really do want to reduce the size of the government are shouted down as "naive."

Coffee probably isn't good for you.

Vintage 70s Saturday Night Live isn't that funny. Neither is Animal House or Caddyshack.

My unpopular opinion is that I believe atheists are just as close minded as the christians they claim to hate. Really? You only believe in something you can logically prove? You don't think there is anything in the entire universe that might be beyond your comprehension? You are so smart you can understand everything that has ever been?

YOU SON OF A ***** MOTHERFU-
Just kidding. But seriously, I really hate that mentality, because it discourages trying to discover "why". It's so easy to say "Oh, well, you know, it's way beyond comprehension, so you know, just drop it". Wrong. We can comprehend plenty. Just because I can't wrap my head around string theory, doesn't mean no one can. I find it's usually a last ditch argument used by religious people when losing a debate.
Not that tons of atheists are idiots. I hate how some atheists preach more than the average christian sometimes, and I agree most on the internet come across as extremely arrogant and condescending.
That's my two cents.

 

[Vault101]

I believe people need discipline, which is why I'd rather live in the past. People say 'what of disease? shit living conditions? this that and the other' eh. Shit happens.

.

I'd love to see if you would still be as eager if you really were living in whatever era you want

and disipline from doing what exactally?

 

[BiscuitTrouser]

I?m not being arrogant; I?m probably the least arrogant person you?ll meet, due to my self-loathing. And I?ve learnt that human beings are the worst critics of themselves, so yeah, I?m not excluding anyone, including myself, from my criticism. It?s hard to describe, but I can?t just stop liking my family and my small number of friends at the drop of a hat, otherwise I?d just be an insane, sociopathic hermit. But it?s very hard to have even the slightest drop of optimism when I look at the world, all the poverty, the corruption, the innocent suffering while the guilty thrive, bad things that happen to people with seemingly no explanation, etc.

So yes, I am inclined to believe that optimists are simply people that haven?t received the brunt of life and have generally lived a good and bad luck-free life. And while you may reply and say, ?It could be worse?, I reply, ?It could be better.?

Thats quite a presumptuous thing to say. Many optimists have had shit happen to them i imagine would make your experiences look trivial and remain positive because thats how to enjoy life and in my view if youre not enjoying life youre wasting it. If you like these people surely there must be something there worth liking and therefor something worth a damn in the world. If you can carve a bit of happiness in an apparent "sea of hate" then it cant be all bad.

Ive had some pretty attrocious things happen to me your average person wouldnt have. I almost lost my father to cancer when i was 12. It came back a few times. I almost lost my mother to suicide twice over the last 2 years. The second one was pretty horrific... but i shant go into details here... the fact is that if all this crap covrered the good then im letting my life be wasted.

Wow, aren't you just a miserable, angry little wretch? Having kids is bad people! We have been enlightened! Now if you said teenagers and high schoolers, hell even college students, having kids, then I'd be right on board. Big time. But, I apologize, this is to express nasty opinions, not get torn a new one for them, so if we're going for most anger-provoking...

OT: Religion is terrible. It has made rifts in civilization, caused countless deaths, breeds anger, hate and prejudice, and is constantly waved around to prove that someone is better than someone else. And yes, atheists are just as bad. Religion has no place in public, and especially no place in the government.

I'm against both the death penalty and (generally) abortion. Both are common stances but rarely together people who are against one are usually for the other (which makes no goddamn sense to me)

I honestly want to ask why it doesn't make sense? I'm for the death penalty and against abortion (most of the time, and always excepting rape, I can't even fathom keeping that child). To me, the death penalty is justice. Death for death. Abortion is (again, to me) destroying a fetus that will become a child, your own child, and all because you wanted to be stupid about sex. That's no reason to stop a life from being made. The worst part is the idiot who doesn't abort will often keep the child instead of giving it a chance at an adult home and ignore parents or whatever else. A kid can't raise a kid. It's a messed up situation.

Damn I did it again, this is for expressing controversial opinions, not arguing them.

 

[Zeema]

I think police should be able to beat and torture prisoners as much as they want. without trouble, Prisons should be deadly and be treated as Torture houses.

Also hitting someone elses kid because he is a spoilt ***** or a arsehole to people should be all right

the Death Penalty should be applied everywhere.

Flame shield isn't enough

LAVE SHEILD UP

 

[zelda2fanboy]

Well that isn't sexuality. Sexuality is to do with uncontrollable attractions and responses, not what you then do with them.

So just thoughts then? I think when churches whine about the evils over various "lifestyle choices" they aren't talking about "attractions." And I think when gay rights activists fight for gay marriage rights, they aren't talking about men who merely think about other men. If I think about having sex with my sister, does that make it incest? Or imagining having sex when I was underage makes me a pedophile? I have had attractions and responses to just about every type of human on the planet at one point or another, but that doesn't make me "pansexual." Sexuality isn't a hypothetical. At least not to me.

 

[dimensional]

GTA IV is crap in almost every conceivably way to me.

I believe this opinion is fact (you dont need to add the `to me` part in there though)

I believe that if a jobs worth doing it should be done for free if its not worth doing dont do it.

I believe people are not equal and we shouldnt pretend they are or that one group of people is somehow superior/inferior/equal to another.

The pursuit of money is a pointless waste of existence.

I believe that a cat should be the next prime minister.

people should pay taxes to me instead of the government.

 

[Xangba]

I don't just disapprove of religious people, I think Deists are silly too. Also, agnostics are really annoying.

No belief deserves any respect, except perhaps the respect it earns. Respect can be earned by being right.

I see you fail to mention atheists, the ones who think that they are the only ones with higher cognitive functions. Agnostic at least acknowledges that NO ONE has any proof whatsoever of anything, so we should all shut up about it.

 

[Meight08]

I think Woman who want the removal of sexism in games with a historical setting I.E middle ages, or inspired by the middle ages to be whining and politically correct.

The Same counts for every -ism
Destroying things because the old opinions in it don't fit with modern times is wrong.
If you actually think we should destroy everything with dated opinions or opinions that are part of a setting.
Screw you is all i have to say to you.
We would have to ban the bible Because hey it portrays woman as baby machines chained to the kitchen right?
People like you want my country to ban black Pete because where you come from going blackface is bad while here it is how we dress up as black Pete the helper of our version of Santa.
Hell we don't even use paint that looks African-american we use coal or chocolate black.
you want us to remove the fact from the history books that Holland became powerful through colonization.
You want us to modify the golden chariot the most important part of our culture the symbol of our economic power because one of the paintings is racist.
You want to destroy art because it has become racist.
Screw any and all politically dumb asses with their heads up their asses who thinks like this.

[novixz]

I think we should euthanize mentally retarded people from birth. I'm not trolling, I'm not being cruel, it's a lot more humane to just put them down more instead of letting nature take it's course. If the parents want to keep it, fine, let them. If they don't, let them get rid of it. Also abortions should be totally legal. Again I'm not trolling, I'm 100% serious.

Doesn't matter how they get it, just that they get it.
Realise that your parents aren't usually wrong. Realise that most material possession is pointless. I admit I like some material goods (my crappy laptop. My Warhammer models. My buddha statue...), but when people ***** about wanting the latest tech it makes me sick.

Actually do your chores. Actually get a job. Actually live in a clean house. If you date someone (boy or girl) do it because you care about them. Don't cheat on them. If you say you're going to lose weight - DO IT.

I can go on.



As far as the past goes, chosen era or what not. None of it is perfect. None of it perfectly fits my preference. So I would complain no matter where I end up, but it can't be worse than the 21st.
Bitching and moaning, I know, but I've been told by a few people that my mind set doesn't suit our lifestyle and culture.

Erm, excuse me? You pay less than $7 per gallon? After doing a bit of converting, in the Uk we pay the equivalent of $9.5 per gallon.
