State Your Unpopular Opinions

god is also black :afro:

 

I don't think family is all that important (at least the family you're born into - obviously you can't just abandon your spouse and children). And spending the holidays with family is so overrated. I'd rather spend time with the people I actually like.

 

making transportation depended on indenturing ourselves to the car thoroughly sucks.

 

Unpopular opinions I hold:

-Black people tip poorly (3 years in food-service industry talking), as a rule of thumb.
-Black olives are the spawn of satan
-Logical positivism is bullshit. Science has limitations. Rule of technocrats would not improve society. Economists know nothing and so do sociologists and so do political scientists. All forms of behaviorism are wicked and hurtful.
-Atheists are just as wrong as fundamentalists.

...That's enough to start with...

 

Bacon isn't even that good.

 

I like McDonald's breakfasts

 

You lie

 

It's good, but not that good

 

Blasphemy!

Most people in the military arent especially brave or heroic, just couldnt get into college and/or failed whatever job they got after high school. I personally know exactly one exception to this.

And its far too easy to become a cop.

 

-Not agreeing with organized religion clearly, and fortunately, isn't an unpopular opinion.
-All entertainment is just a way to deter us from finding out what life really has to offer. (Yet here I am, on hipforums...)
-Cement poured all over the earth is ugly and ruining what our planet has to offer.
-Abortion is ok, have you SEEN the shitty lives of kids in and out of orphanages, foster care, or just down right shitty parents?
-HUMAN OVERPOPULATION IS A HUGE ISSUE.
-All drugs should be legal, if I say this, I guess prostitution should be too. No one should tell us what to put in/do with our bodies.
-Money is a terrible thing, it's a shame the way our society is built nowadays, we can't trade goods and services for what we NEED, not want.
-Humans are the worst kind of animals.
-Modern Science keeps people alive too long.

 

Unpopular or not it’s the truth and I know at least one guy who’s currently serving in Afghanistan for the sole purpose of makin’ money.

He expects to pocket thousands of dollars using every angle, gimmick, and government incentive.

While I don't judge people on the basis of their sexuality, gay men are some of the funniest people I've met.

Most arrests that are made, outside of violent crimes, murders, robberies, etc, are absolutely unnecessary.

 

White people can not be held completely accountable for "African Americans" current position in the socio-economic climate

'African American' is a title that is very separatist and racist (I'm not a Polish American; I'm an American)

Everyone should start using 'ethnicity' over 'race'; if for no other reason, so I stop accidentally using race, despite my hatred for the concept

Though there are layers and contradictions in all; Republicans just aren't good people.

 

:iagree:

I am quarter way through this thread will write and read when i have more time! Highly amusing....

 

Give me a break I need someone to blame if I lose my job

You can’t expect me to accept personal responsibility for my own actions or behavior ~ sheesh

This isn't an unpopular opinion. I hear it all the time. They were pushing it decades ago when I was in Junior High. People who are highest up on the economic scale waste the most resources tho and they also tend to have the fewest kids.

 

-The US military is not made up of heroes but is nothing more than a tool of the military-industrial complex for offensive purposes that have everything to do with justifying bloated budgets and fat contracts and little to do with defense.

-The "War on terror" and "War on drugs" is nothing more than a the same thing as above and a mechanism of control.

-Obama is worse than Bush who was horrible.

-Religion is about control, not salvation

-The USA is not the greatest country in the world and is usually supposed to be so by people that have never been outside of the US.

-Law enforcement agencies have become another control tool. The days of "Peace Officers" is long past.

-Following conventional wisdom for diet, especially government recommendations, will get you ill and lead to an early death.

-The big pharma-medical industry doesn't heal anything but is more about keeping people sick and spending money on chemicals and surgeries.
