State Your Unpopular Opinions

and where do you think the govt gets its money...by grabbing deeper into our pockets..that is where.

 

In the SF Bay Area it is a fairly unpopular opinion. I've been called Homo/Transphobic for expressing that opinion. I guess the people who say that are under the delusion that all Trans People are good and sweet and pure and that their struggle for acceptance give them free reign to do shitty deceitful things.

I really really hate kids

 

If I had kids I'd rather they get into fistfights than be internet trolls.

And the 100th Monkey Phenomenon has real merit

This does not surprise me.

 

And dogs too.

Puppies look cute. But they grow up and they stink and they are gross

....much like kids

 

and people in general....

 

All babies are ugly! It's their future which is adorable.

History is written by the victors of war. (Fact, not opinion)

Hitler is still alive, but probably on (or in) his death bed by now.

Cats are jerks.

Guns don't kill people. Insufficient intelligence and limited resources do.
(I'm just saiyan is all I'm saiyan, you know what I'm saiyan?)

 

Fk yea!

 

This is just to expand on my previous idea/post and not exactly an unpopular opinion.

To me trolling is the ultimate example of cowardice and insecrity. Cowardice in the fact that you are saying something that could get you hurt or killed in real life from the safety of your computer where there are no physical repercussions from those comments. Insecurity in the fact that someone actually feels so bad about themself that they have to go online and piss someone off so that they can feel better/smarter than someone else.

I'd like to think if my kids at least got into fistfights that they would at least have the courage to say these things that would get their ass kicked in a situation where they aren't "Safe". I'd also like to think that if they won the fight (or as close as one gets to winning a fight) they could see the value of a fight well fought, and if they lost I'd like to think that they would view it as a learning experience.

It's definitely a good point and I agree with a lot of it. Yet sometimes I've noticed that people online get super offended by the opinions of others so much that they consider it trolling.

 

^
Isn't it usually the way such an opinion is expressed? Not the opinion itself.

 

^ sometimes... the way an opinion is stated usually decides how strong of a reaction you will get though.

 

You're full a' shit! And you can kiss my ass,fucker! Now see---that's rude. However: Excuse me sir; but with all due respect, I disagree with you regarding your well thought out point and I wish to dispute it, if you don't mind. But first--you're full a' shit! And you can kiss my ass, fucker. Now, isn't that much better?

There's a proper way to SAY things, you know.

 

Unfortunately then you will get accused of being a PC lame-o...

 

Both of these.

I've seen people get knee jerk reactions to plain and mild statements that bring out the aggressive bully in them. You'll see plenty of examples in the archived pages of this thread alone.

 

As the old saying goes: Tact is telling someone to go to hell while making that person happy to be on their way.

 

doing nothing, is a bullshit euphemism, of which, no living organism, is physically capable.

 

I believe the internet has taken over the gate keeping functions of the brain, much like the PDA/tablet took over the functions of the calendar, notebook, and math. All of our pro social processes, choosing words and syntax, self-censoring for audience type, emotion processing, and discerning gesture is no longer done in the mind. It is done externally and digitally inside the internet. The internet then is literally a surgical mating of everybody's brains. All the attention seeking, self-deprecation, toxic comments, stranger fights, wish-washing, flight and return, and brand self-building is the result of what would happen if every human brain were transplanted together. We are all inside each other's heads then, seeing everything raw and unabated. Our protection is the screen, but it's a one-way protection, just like our mouths and eyes don't stop us from socially messing up. But we still only have one brain, and it can't possibly handle it all. Our brains can't function outside the body.
