What's your controversial opinion?

*SNIP*

Spoiler: I'll see your space marine, and raise you a tesla trooper!

i see your tesla trooper and one up it with...

...this

 

[Marik2]

I believe that every single thing in this world should be free (food, clothes, cars, medical care, houses, etc...), we should do away with money, and have all people on the planet work for no pay (well, all the free stuff would kind of be pay).

As a child I always thought that this solution would solve all issues human beings could ever face.

LOL I have a bit of that mentality as well.

I think people should work because it helps people.

And now its gonna get sarcastically flamed...

 

[MikeOfThunder]

I have several. Then again, I'm a Liberal, Pagan, Bisexual female living in the bible belt.

3) Free speech needs relooked. I understand the importance of the law, don't get me wrong. But when you have Faux Noise brainwashing a good chunk of the country like it does and hiding from any and all punishment behind the First Amendment, or Westboro Baptist being completely immune from punishment for the harm they cause people...No. There needs to be a way for other citizens to hold these people, and any others who would abuse the power, accountable.

4) Stop thinking your beliefs trump my rights. I should be able to marry any consenting adult I want. And the only other people who should have any weight in a decision over my body are the guy involved and my doctor.

Okay, your first line is EPIC! I loved, I wet myself laughing - I-I-I- don't even have the words of how much I loved that!

Also apologies if this has already been stated, but doesn't the first sentance of point four disagree with your entire third point? (I do actually agree that westboro need to fuck right off though)


My controversial things:

1/ I have strong faith in the United Nations, European Union and such... I think Britain (where i live) should become much more strongly invested in Europe and adopt the Euro. - This is rare for a brit.

2/ I believe in foreign military intervention. I believe injustices (genocide..etc.) cannot be tolarated in any nation, against any peoples. Granted I'm realistic - I doubt it would be smart going into China or North Korea or any other country that poses a true threat to national security. (Not sure if 'acting against genocide' is considered controversial but I know people don't like war, for fair reason)

3/ I think all democratic nations have a duty to help spread and ensure the survival of democracy across the world. (Again, not very controversial but some would argue Imperialist agenda's etc.)

4/ I'm going to add this because many people seem anti-religious here (I don't follow religion but i suppose im agnostic). I think religion is essential to plenty of people. It inspires many good things. people usually focus on the bad - forgetting the good.

5/ Also! I fully believe that if religion didn't exist then people would simply fight over something else.

 

[shitoutonme]

I think that religion and science are not diametrically opposed.
They can coexist, and explain each other.
But NEVER EVER should religion be taken for science or science for religion.

You don't believe in relativity. Relativity is a fact.
You don't prove god's existence. God is belief.
Period.

I've always found those who adhere to the belief that the two entities can coexist more agreeable than the two warring sides.

And might I also add that one can't disprove the existence of a higher power- at least not yet. The most anyone can say right now is "I don't believe in a god, because there's no evidence that there is one." What many don't understand is that the absence of proof doesn't automatically make something nonexistent. It just means that there's no tangible reason to believe said something exists.

 

[Naix99]

I don't see the wrong in death sentence. I mean, why a man who premeditely(spelling) killed another man for whatever reason should not be risking death penatly.

 

[Johnny Impact]

The coddling of stupidity needs to stop.

If a pedestrian steps off a sidewalk without even looking and gets smashed by a truck, he deserved to be smashed.

If a woman balances a cup of fresh coffee in her crotch, then fidgets around so it tips and burns her, she deserved to get burned.

If a man disables the safety on his power tool and cuts his fingers off, he didn't deserve a full set of fingers anyway.

If you drive with a cell phone in one hand and coffee in the other while putting on your makeup in the rearview and you wreck your car, you didn't deserve the car in the first place.

And so on. I can't believe this is even controversial -- but it is. It sickens me that the dumbest people imaginable are often rewarded for their idiocy. I'm sure some of you are saying "Gasp! He's so mean!" Maybe I am....but I ain't stupid.

 

[Womplord]

I think the psychological effects of being raped are no worse than a violent beating.

 

[TheFinalFantasyWolf]

Dunno, if this is controversial or not but I do get weird looks from friends when I mention it.......I love military clothes, I recken the designs are cool.....and one outfit I want to get, is well, a Nazi uniform. Let me say that I don't like Nazi's ok. However I do love the design of the uniforms that they wear (you know, without the swastica on the arm).

 

[MasterMongoose0]

I don't like religion. At all. (this one isn't controversial here)
I don't mind drugs, though I've never done them. i have bigger problems with cigarettes.
I think the first and second MGS games are shit. I just don't enjoy anything about them beyond the first game's storyline. The second's wasn't bad till it jumped the shark like seven times.

I don't like PC gaming. At all, really (beyond Battlefield 2 and a few other nostalgia fixes). My lowly console-based tastes are so geared towards games like Rock Band and the games that are better played with a controller anyway (Assassin's Creed).

Everyone makes mistakes. Even people who are smart. You could be tired, stressed, have a lot on your mind, etc. I don't think you would say that if you cut YOUR fingers off.
Although some of your examples make sense I guess.

 

[Zaik]

I think men are mentally, physically, and any other comparison you can think up, superior to women.

At least, I think "westernized" men are superior to "westernized' women. I can't speak on cultures outside of that. I'm not so silly as to say something crazy like the worst man is better at everything than the best woman, but given similar status in comparison to others of their gender, the male will win out every single time. I even think that women statistically living longer is brought out by an artificially shortened lifespan for men due to what they're forced to do and put up with as they live, not some sort of actual genetic advantage women have.

Basically, your "westernized" woman is a self destructive mess of daddy issues, personality disorders, and insecurities that is overall babied and coddled for her entire life. She uses sex as a means to live because she has nothing else to support her. Men who behave as "normal" women do are labeled mentally incompetent, perverts, rapists, and/or racists.

The one weakness that men have(and the only salvation for women) is the excessive sex drive that actively affects their judgement to the point they're willing to be subjugated by that which they should be ruling. I guaran-damn-tee that if men worldwide suddenly lost their sex drive 100% completely, and sex only served as reproduction for men, within 50 years women would be handled as cattle, and men would take on sons as desired, or perhaps in times of lowered population people would be paid to impregnate women in order to continue the species.

Well there is the sex drive and the complete inability to express any emotions for fear of catching the "gay". For every one girl that kills herself, 4 men kill themselfs. So women are a lot more emotionally stable then men. You are an extremely sexist person sir, to say that women are infirior is complaint wrong. Men are only stronger at birth, men are far less evolved and still strive for alpha male dominance and can be complete emotional wreaks ecause of their insane sex drive and over hype masculinity.

That is trash you've been fed by women. You're under this delusional idea that men are all roid raging bros with incredible fragile psyches. It's absolutely not true.

Your suicide statistics would easily work in my favor by simply mentioning that woman's need to manipulate men with sex to survive results in more hurt men. Face it, it's a crime if a man cheats or leaves his mate for another, AND it's a man's fault if a woman cheats or leaves her mate for another. Living in a world like that without being able to realize the bullshit for what it is would make me want to kill myself too.

Oh noes! D:
The lady propaganda is everywhere!
Alright here's a test to see how comfortable men and women are with sexuality.
Ask a girl to kiss her friend (who is a girl) hello. Usually no problem, hugs and giggles all around.
Now ask a man to kiss his male friend hello, why happens?
"ugh dude WTF? What with all this gay man? Dude I don't swing that way, I like
My boner in girls" and so on.

Both sexes are equally unstable, narcisistic, manipulative and assholish in their own ways.
To say otherwise is absurd.

Ask a man to take off his shirt and he will.

Ask a woman to take off her shirt and you're a pervert unless they want to fuck you.

You're going to need something better than that.

Men have the need to show off their bodies to show females how big and manly they are and to show the other guys whose the big dog.

Women have be portrayed as objects and lesser individual for the last 2,000 odd years and have been treated as second class citizens.
Were are te point that women still get paid less for doing the same amount of work, women are far more subject to sexuall assault then men, women are frequently denied promotions an jobs or being female.
POP QUIZ: What is the ration of men to women being kidnapped and illegally trafficked into the sex industry.

I'm guessing your a White middle class male.

Women have been through and still go through far, far more than you or I could possibly imagine.
And being a shovanistic pig is not helping.

That's a bit of a stretch. I wasn't talking about attractive men. I was talking about any men.

Shouldn't women be getting hired more than men and getting more promotions if they do equal work for less? But no, they need Affirmative Action and, according to you, that still isn't enough to justify having a woman work for you. I wonder why?

ANSWER: Dunno, but wouldn't easier targets make more sense? That tends to feed into my inferiority argument, not take away from it. You could ask me what the ratio of children to adult men kidnapped is too, it's just as silly.

Correct guess. I'm guessing you aren't allergic to penicillin. I'm probably right too, it's easy to guess correct when you pick the option with 95% odds.

"What they've been through" is no excuse.

Well I think it is still an excuse because it still happening and it takes generations for some grinder so deep into someones psyche.

And no the reason women still don't get hired more is because the men who are in charge still think the women are to inferior.
They also see them as threats, just slightly obscure example, a huge amount of fishing records are held by women, men thought that it was impossible that these women were better at fishing then them, that it must be a pheromone that women give off.

The reason I brought up White male is because of the same thing of reverse racism, sure it's bad but you can't forget that THESE THINGS STILL HAPPENED.

Dude, I don't want to go down this road, it's embarrassing and I look weak, but you need to get laid. Big time :/

Boom, headshot. You fell into it too. You actually agree with me on some level, you don't even realize it though. I *don't* need to get laid, because I don't need a woman to feel self worth. Apparently you do, and I pity you for it. It's a terrible affliction.

 

[Marik2]

I'm a Christian and yet I actually have no problems with secularism. Does that mean I'm Satan? :O

PS> And yeah, I'm serious

Well considering that Jesus was advocating the separation of church and state when he said give ceaser wut belongs to him and give God wut belongs to him.

So Christians shouldnt have a problem with secularism, really.

 

[KangKhan]

Why cant we say the "n word". why did slavers have to go and screw the word up. no really. Say the n word (ending in "er" not "ar") really fast and rough so the word sounds more like a sound. its fun. i wish i could go into a Publix and scream :NI***R!!". I dont want to offend anyone, i have no problem with blacks in fact oi consider racism to just be a retarded idea, cause all ur doing is making people hate u so i see no point. Once again, no offense, its just fun

 

[t3h br0th3r]

I can't understand why Christianity gets so much hate.

It seems like most of the 'religion is evil' sentiment comes from kids, teens, and 20 somethings (of which i am one) wanting to 'stick it to the man' or offend their Christian parents as much as possible.

Where i am from (Mid-western USA), I'm considered a moderately religious guy (I pray before I eat a meal and before I go to bed) but the second i step onto the forums people suddenly look at me crazy and tell me I believe in fairy tales.

Its as if some (and not all) of the atheists here think Christianity is some kind of sinister organization seeking to rule the world. Like any expression of faith, no matter how personal, is an attack on atheism or some kind of subliminal recruitment campaign.

Why can't we just respect region or leave it alone if we can't say anything good about it? Why must those who express their faith here be attacked for it? I don't go around calling atheists godless heathens, why treat me in the same manner?

I believe sex is a special, meaningful act that you should share only with the person you are married to. I get some really weird looks from people when they first ask if I'm a virgin and I say yes, then they ask why and I give them that answer.
The fact that I believe in God also seems to be rather controversial, at least on this site.

Yeah I too have that mentality of sex.

I also have that opinion and its gotten me laughed at before, but to be Christian is to be counter-cultural to a certain existent, no mater where you live.

i agree with Zaik, not because what he says is right, but what he means in spirit is right, arguing that X is wrong because he's never been laid is sexist. Racism is one of those arguments that could use the 'But it happened' button, so, 50/100/1000 years down the line, is that argument void yet? When is the casket buried? Are women doomed to be Kitchen'eers forever? Are men doomed to be knuckledraggers? etc etc.

Not quite. I fully support people being free to believe whatever they want. I just don't support those beliefs being used as reason to keep other people down. I also believe that, while we should have the right to say/believe what we want, your (collective you, not pointing at you personally) right to be loud and proud ends when you start hurting other people.

Yeah, lots of people love that. It's kind of fun to announce it and just watch peoples' brains melt.

 

[Johnny Impact]

Stop thinking your beliefs trump my rights.

But that's just it. They believe you don't have the right. Laws are an attempt to put morality on paper. Morality is subjective and highly dependent on personal beliefs. This means certain beliefs, i.e. Christian "sanctity of marriage" crapola, get signed into law. If the law says you don't have the right, as far as anyone's concerned you don't.

For the record, I'm with you. I say people looking to defend the sanctity of marriage must first realize the institution they are defending is a cesspool of divorce, adultery, spousal abuse, ridiculous alimony, custody battles, and all manner of unpleasantness, much of it perpetrated by the very same people who squawk about sanctity. I've often wondered why the gays even care.

Oh no I was fully aware of this trap, I read your comments with other people and I thought I could talk some sense without resorting to this.
But it's okay if your inablity to get women or socialise women has caused your terrible misoginy, I think us the term.
Don't worry were all friends here. I know I have my insecurities, that's why I don't need your pity.
The only difference between me and you is I accept my insecurities and whatnot and try to better myself as a person rather than putting the blame on women themselfs. Yes women can be awful whores sometimes, but men are no better, were equally shit.
The sooner you except that, the sooner you grow.

 

[BabyRaptor]

Why can't we just respect region or leave it alone if we can't say anything good about it? Why must those who express their faith here be attacked for it? I don't go around calling atheists godless heathens, why treat me in the same manner?

I understand where you're coming from, but you have to realize that (at least in the US), the majority of the people who claim your religion don't see it as a personal thing. They see it as them being better than everyone else, and they see it as a divine calling to shove their beliefs down everyone elses' throats. They're very rabid about it, and they use it in lots of negative ways.

People are going to remember the bad stuff done under the Christianity flag, and eventually that bad stuff starts overwhelming the good, and the reaction starts being bad.
