Unpopular Opinions

[Phasmal]

I think Men and Women who're alcoholics, drug addicts or have MH problem should be sterilised so they cannot have children.

As a child of an alcoholic with mental health problems; I disagree.
Just cause your parents make mistakes doesn't mean you can't have a good life yourself. That's silly. None of my brothers or sisters are alcoholics and all have nice lives. So. Yeah.

Well, this is the unpopular opinions thread, so it's going to be unpopular.

Glad all worked out with you, but sadly, the majority of children end up in care or living a shit life, that's why I have the view.

That the only person you need to tell you what's morally wrong or right is yourself.

That people who preach hate in public should be free for assault.

That Drugs aren't bad, just dumb people.

That if you fuck up and die, IT'S YOUR FAULT AND NO ONE ELSES. I shouldn't be punished because you fucked up. Glad your out of the gene pool.

That calling someone words or texting them hate messages isn't bullying, it's someone being as asshole and can just be ignored.

That peoples sexual desires and marriage wants are no business of me or anyone else besides themselves.

That Universal Healthcare is a good idea, I'd just implement it slowly at first since people will find any reason under the sun to get unneeded, expensive, treatments for no reason.

That Abortion and Stem Cell research should be legal.

That we need to take some of that money that's used for War and point it towards technology. Hell with making better nukes, they wont matter when you can blow them out of the air with Lasers.

That we should stop waiting and start pushing fuel towards alternative resources RIGHT NOW.

That extremists should be shunned by their fellow believers.

That downers are no fun to be around.

I think until the African government sorts itself out, we need to stop giving them millions upon millions of pounds because hardly any of it is going towards starving and malnourished places with no clean water. I totally agree we should be helping them, but instead of raising all this money with things such as comic relief and giving it all to government, I'd rather go other there myself and make sure they're getting provided with clean water and other necessities.
Comic relief and other such charities have been running for at least 25 years, how come I don't see much improvement?

I also think you should have a good grasp of the language the country speaks before you move their. The amount of customers I get who can only speak a few words of English... Who the hell is letting them in!? >_<

It's a Woman's own fault EDIT: IF SHE MAKES HERSELF THE TARGET DELIBERATELY if she dresses like a hooker,shows more flesh then a slaughtered pig ,and gets drunk without planning a safe way to get home or friends to bring her home and gets raped on the way home. I have difficulty sympathizing with her.
RAPE IS STILL BAD.

I know exactly what you mean.

I came across someone on this forum going on about how awful humanity was, and they said (to paraphrase) "I actually consider myself a separate species entirely, because I honestly don't see how it's possible to be so cruel and evil."

My response went along the lines of "you're a generalizing twat. Oh, you consider yourself a separate species? That sounds so up your own arse that you're clearly as bad as the rest of us." (Insert witty remark about him not being a separate species, because clearly being unable to get laid isn't the same as physically being unable to procreate with humans)

Some people.

I actively dislike misanthropes, and think that from a darwin point of view, extreme Nihilists are the stupidest people on earth.

That's a rather witty remark, I'll have to keep my eyes open for an opprotunity to use it.

OT: Fuck multiculturalism, fuck trying to understand every single goddamn point of view, and fuck tolerance. Let me clarify that I am not saying fuck yo to any particular culture or view point, just this attitude that all of them are equally worth while and equally correct. This stupid modern bullshit is serving to assassinate the western sense of identity, truth, and justice all in one fell fucking swoop.

We have to accept some ideas as good and some as fucking retarded, that's just how being human works.

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).

As a police officer I am for the legalization of pot, mostly for economic reasons. I believe you should have a license to sell it and must have a commercially zoned building for it. My big issue with it is that you can only suspect someone of DUI with pot unless you get a blood test.
The opinion is very unpopular among law enforcement officials because they see the worst damage it can do. Sometimes I think of horrific incidents and switch my position for a few days.
I'd be a terrible politician.

how very coincidental.

I always enjoy reading your posts. It is both nice to hear a police officer's perspective, and you always seem to break the mold a little as well (so you manage to provide both the perspective of a police officer, and the reasoning for a good middle ground).

If you don't mind me asking though, why are you against abortion? I mean, I feel it is a bit ... crass, but I don't think it is immoral (provided it is done before the development of significant neural tissue, such that the fetus is able to be considered aware). So I suppose what I'm asking is, are you against it on moral grounds, such as believing a zygote to be worthy of human rights considerations, or is your opposition more from a view of social expectations, where you think that the issue isn't the abortions, but rather the underlying social causes of most of them (irresponsible sexual practices, for example).

A valid question. Firstly let me say it doesn?t make sense to me to be for killing humans but than having a problem with killing fetuses. It doesn?t make sense to me to be against killing humans then be but be a-okay with ending a fetus with little thought or concern.

My reasons specifically for being against abortion are a mixture of things. For starters I think making a variety of laws that say when it is and isn?t okay to do an abortion based on where it is developmentally only makes things more complicated. I?m okay with the idea of ?rape babies? (I hate that term) being aborted for the obvious reasons. The problem with that is if you have other reasons for abortion outlawed you?d have a lot of women crying rape or have to make some sort of mini trial to prove it. Both sound horrible.
Mostly it is as you said underlying social concerns. The overwhelming majority of women getting abortions are young, a minority, low income, or a drug user. (majority not all, don?t come out of the woodwork to tell me I?m wrong).
Education on safer sex practices needs to be the cornerstone of contraception not a medical procedure. The amount of people who believe myths about sex are ASTOUNDING. I have grad students who still think if you have sex in water you can?t get pregnant. I also know the psychological scarring an abortion leaves on people. It varies from woman to woman but putting a child up for adoption tends to have less of a lasting shame. That and nowadays finding someone to adopt is pretty easy there are agencies (usually catholic charities) that do nothing but help those situations.
A part of me does feel a zygote is alive and deserves to keep on going. That's more emotion ruling my decisions than science.
Maybe because of my last point, though the baby growing is completely a woman's health concern... a man is involved in the creation of it. Why doesn't he get any say?
When I was a teenager my girlfriend got pregnant she I told her if she really wants to I'll raise it myself and she doesn't have to do a thing, i won't bug her for money etc. She still got an abortion 5 months in... then the next day she called me on the phone and shot herself over her guilt.
Maybe all my other reasons are just a cover for my much more personal reason.

Seriously. Some politicians should play a strategy game for a chance.

Stop wasting time and ressources buying even more nukes! Go work on that death star, damnit.

Oh yeah i said it.

Rape is never someone's fault but the rapists.
I honestly can't believe some people think like this. And nobody ever says anything.

I know this is `unpopular opinions`, but your opinion is provably wrong. If there were no rapists, there would be no rape. It's not a force of nature. It's not something that `just happens`.

Our community is such a shiny happy place to be. I want to be sick.

Here is my unpopular opinion.

EA is just a company and should be dealt with accordingly (meaning if they see a profit with it they'll screw you over, so expect to be).

And before people ask "why is that unpopular?". Well apparently seeing EA as anything less than Lucifer's (that is the devil) mortal avatar on earth is very unpopular here.

People should STFU about companies just being money-grabbers. Companies exist to make money, it is their function. A company is not a service, you are entitled to fuck all from that company. If you are dissatisfied then don't buy the company's products and stop bitching that they owe you more.

Women who go to parties and have drunk sex with someone who is also drunk should also stop trying to say it is rape. Consent for sex is not void when you come to regret it.

People shouldn't whine about taxes, they are ultimately a good thing. Complain about how governments spend tax money, don't complain about the concept of taxation. Taxes pay for roads and railways maintained, they pay for the country's defence, the National Health Service, the Postal service, welfare for the elderly, disabled and poor.

I believe all welfare (except pensions and national health) should be means tested and there should be more benefits given to people who do hard working weeks but still struggle to pay bills. Not a very unpopular opinion, but an opinion which is not often voiced for unknown reasons.

I like bands such as Green Day, get over it.

I have no problem with homosexuals and homosexuality but I DO have a problem with camp people. Honestly, it is annoying, weird and probably a big reason that homophobia exists.

Rape is always the rapist fault.
Making yourself an appealing target is your own.
What i mean is making yourself a target is your own fault.
the rapist is always bad and is always a scumbag but if you made yourself the target for the rapist by doing allot of stupid stupid stuff Then that is your own fault.
Who is a bigger target for a rapist?
1:A Drunk or sober girl wearing good jeans a shirt and a coat. walking home with a sober friend
2:A Drunk shitfaced girl wearing clothes that would make a stripper blush walking to home alone.
Seriously who is the bigger target.

If someone tried to rape 1 she has friends to fight back and is sober enough to call for help.
If someone tried to rape 2 she is helpless and cant do anything because she is alone and too shitfaced.

You see what im getting at?

Raping someone is a choice. It is 100% the rapist's fault.
End of.

Guys like you are the reason rape victims don't come forward very often, and when they do they are blamed.
Victim blaming is not cool.

Instead of telling people what to do to not be raped, we should be telling people not to rape

 

[Quiet Stranger]

I think we shouldn't be giving Indians (Native Americans) ANY special treatment at all, we conquered them, we took their land, the fuck are we giving them special treatment (I live in Canada) they should just be treated like everybody else.


EDIT: I also think people like that guy who did the stuff in Norway should be put to death but tortured first so they can feel the pain of all the people they killed.
