OT: I think going away for college is actually beneficial.
I think the ability to listen is far more important than the ability to talk.
There aren't too many deviations from the profile. Of course there will always be anomalies.Lumber Barber said:

The Avengers (2012) was not a good movie.
Ang Lee made a good Hulk movie.
Nickelback is not a terrible band.
CD's are more enjoyable than MP3's.
Apple software products are a step sideways from viruses.
Joss Whedon is a very limited writer.
eBay should still sell spells, potions, curses and anything else that prove the old saying "A fool and their money are soon parted."
Free-form Podcasts are wastes of time, both for the people making them and the people listening to them.
Being a victim does not absolve one of contributing to their own situation.
Comics aren't weird - they're downright stupid.
Team Fortress 2 is the most enjoyable FPS game currently available.

Anybody who talks about finding a cure for cancer is either grossly oversimplifying what "cancer" is, or has an extremely limited understanding of it.
Valve is basically the game industries Wal-Mart, albeit with better business practices and an emphasis on consumer satisfaction.
The first Mass Effect's gameplay was garbage when compared to the sequels (and wasn't very good in general). Additionally, despite EA's marketing attempts (which were likely just to placate the screams of the fans), throughout the entire series the fact that your choices were ultimately irrelevant in the grand scheme of the universe is present.
Miniatures produced by Games Workshop aren't as overpriced as people think they are (not to say that they aren't overpriced, but given the various costs the company endures they aren't completely unreasonable).
The Dark Knight Rises was the best of Nolan's Batman Trilogy. Additionally, the target audience for Nolan's Batman films was not fans of the Batman franchise.
Mockingjay was the best book of the Hunger Games Trilogy.
The Twilight books are far from the worst series that I have ever read. Additionally, Stephanie Meyer is not a bad (as in untalented) author, she just knows her target audience.
PC gaming is responsible for the graphical arms race which has arose in the industry. While PC gaming has also introduced other positive factors into the industry, it's net effect breaks even at best.
US Economic policy is based on lies and propaganda that has been repeated so much that it has become common fact opposed to actual thought, evidence, or science.
The Song of Fire and Ice (game of thrones) series is extremely over rated.
When comparing computer gaming to console gaming, specifically in reference to FPS games, but also 3D platformers, PC's get better aiming, Consoles get better movement.
Pretend as much as we like, human beings are no longer part of the natural order of things. That is not to say that we should disregard the environment, quite the opposite, but to say that the same rules and motivations that apply to wild animals still apply to us is rapidly becoming a weaker argument.
Homeopathic medicines and "all natural" products are complete BS, and belief in them is a refuge of the desperate and the stupid. Individuals close to me have died in part because of alternative healthcare, and I have actively stopped supporting politicians because of their approval of such medicines. I also count chiropractic medicine as a homeopathic medicine.
Animated and more cartoony graphics are generally better than graphics that try to appear more realistic. 5 years from now the winners of "best graphics of the year" will look nearly unplayable, whereas stuff like Boarderlands and Wind Waker will still be enjoyable to anybody.
The only thing that we should be using oil for is the production of plastics.
As a society, we need to eat significantly less meat than we do right now. We also need to eat fewer corn products (seriously, look at how many things that you eat include corn starch).
Within the next 10 to 20 years, we will reach the limits of silicon based microchip technology. Society will likely collapse when we reach that point.

ALL religious people? On what basis do you make this ridiculous generalisation?JeffBergGold said:
I think stereotypical macho jocks are likely to be pedophiles, killers and other such things due to their mass amounts of aggression that could be exhibited in that way. Unlike nerds who are generally passive-agressive at worst.JeffBergGold said:
Well, that's incredibly elitist of you. But, of course, you are entitled to your opinion.JeffBergGold said:
Most people don't understand how people feel? Huh. How anyone could come to this conclusion having no knowledge of the thoughts of the about 7000000000 other people on Earth, I don't know. Whatever...JeffBergGold said:
Well, they have genes that do not make them muscular. Perhaps not "bad" genes.JeffBergGold said:

OT: Jurassic Park, while being well made, wasn't really a good movie overall. Especially the dumbass kids.

Fuck you too, movie.
While we're playing this mass generalization game, all black people are good at sports and love friend chicken. I know this because I met a black person who fit the description exactly.JeffBergGold said:
Also, this was sarcastic, so don't kill me mods.
I think people who assume their unpopular opinions are what make them unique got something else coming for them.
What? Too post-modern? Fine, how's this:
Mega Man Star Force is a good series and has FAR superior stories than MMBN and MM Classic! THAT'S RIGHT I SAID IT!

I always found it odd that the Amendments should be so important yet the provisions they replaced would be considered as important if they were still in place with our modern attitudes. Amending the amendments is an unthinkable notion in modern America.LifeCharacter said:
- Valve is the probably the most over rated company in existence, and just about every one of their games are "meh decent" but not great in any way.
- Gamers for the most part hypocritical, immature, and causing a lot of damage to the industry
- Day one DLC is a good idea
-People obsess over meat and its honestly the dumbest thing to see... I like a good steak and such as much as the next person but dear god stop wetting your pants about how bacon is so great
-I think everyone should support every game company that they can. Yes even if your not in love with every game they produce. Instead of bitching about it in forums all day and actively trying to tear these companies down. Dear god people these people are just trying to make things you enjoy, what do you do, spit in their faces and call them assholes and then pirate their products
-Games are made to be played, kept, and honored for the amount of hard work, love, and sacrifice that goes into them. Not sold the next day to Gamepots
-All religions should be respected and you should have a general knowledge of at least some of their tenants
- Faith and science are not binary opposites
- I think EA is a great company
- Bethesda, Bioware, (any other studio), are working hard to produce great content, stories, gameplay. Gamers, again in general, will spend more time bitching about what ever they want this week/next week/ the week after instead of just playing games. (I chose Bethesda, and Bioware because it seems to be the popular thing to hate this month)
- You should support the content creators of this site, and treat them with the utmost respect.
- The forums of the escapist are full of vitriolic hatred, nasty attitudes,and in general an ineptitude to act in a decent dignified manner.

I don't know if this is what the original commentor meant, but I agree that past mistakes should not be forgotten. It doesn't mean the people living today that happen to belong to the same sex/race/sexual orientation/religion should be held to accountable for it, but these things need to be remembered.harmonic said:
Especially since it's worrysome how often I see people attempting to rewrite history.
For example, people who claim the US should be governed the way it was originally formed arguing that women totally had equal rights. And that whole 'only men can vote' thing actually meant the whole family talked about it together and the men listened to their wives and since women had influence that way, it was totally okay for only men to vote.
(Or that some tribal/ancient religions were some kind of paradise for women)
Why?geK0 said:
Since if this is about the misconception that medical science is not having any progress with treating cancer, you're wrong.
(But if you just don't think cancer-research is worth it, it's your opinion, you're entitled to it. Just wondering why you're especially mentioning cancer)
As for my unpopular opinions, that would depend a lot on the group you're measuring your opinions against. My opinions about how religion sucks, gays and women should have equal rights and that video-games are great are pretty unpopular in some circles I've been a part of, but I can't imagine it being the case here.
So I don't know...
Maybe this; 60's Batman-series; the greatest liveaction version of Batman.
And I think the next Batman-movies should be more colourful and campy. (they should also have character-development and a good plot, though)
Why? Also, what nationality are you? Since that's not an opinion I see here in Finland.Ldude893 said:
SO I wonder if this is because the teaching of geology sucked in the US at some point, or if the courses in it are really bad/easy over there still.
This just seems such a weird preconception some (American?)people seem to have.
I wonder where it comes from, or if the word 'science' is popularily used over there to just describe physics and chemistry.
I don't understand why everyone thinks zelda is so great. The story's suck, The game play isn't that good, and despite some interesting puzzles the space inbetween those is no fun at all. Before you judge me I have played. Ocarina, Majoras mask, Skyward sword, and twlight princess.
I don't think the zombie genre is overplayed. Because the games they are making are still fun. Especially with this new idea of building bases to protect yourself and having it open world ( a la dayz warz and fortnite) I also don't think dead island is a bad game, just misadvertised.
Seinfield is one of the least funny shows I have ever watched.
Will Ferrell is not funny.
Call of duty doesn't suck- The campaign is great. I prefer battlefields multiplayer though- For 5 on 5 I'd rather play counter strike
Emma watson is not attractive at all.For an opinion I believe to be at least on this website... Girly Girls are more attractive then tom boys. Curves are better then skinny girls
Half-life 2 isn't that great. Half-life 1 is good with the exception that the last level is a piece of shit.
GTA Vice city was the best gta game.
Solid Snake isn't as cool as naked snake
I hate anime.
I don't think racist jokes are bad things when they are simply just jokes. That being said I hate when Black people say " Nigga" all the time, acting like it isn't offensive because they are black so " Its ok if they say it."
Dr.who is a terrible show.
Demon souls is better then skyrim.
I like Gears of wars storys and don't find it to " Manish and brutelike" For the same reason I love 80's action movies like Rambo or predator.
Metal is terrible music so is dubstep.
I don't think mitt romney is a bad canidate and will most likely vote for him over obama.
Facebook and most social networking sites are stupid, and just a fad.
I don't think equal rights between men and woman have anything to do with being chivalrousness towards women
and to end- The 90s sucked.

1. Poor people shouldnt have children they cant afford then expect the state to pick up the slack.
2. Greed is good.
3. Third world aid is wrong, it stunts the growth and development of the recipient countries.
4. Anonymous is a bigger threat to personal freedom than the erosion of civil liberties.
5. 99% of Modern Art is pretentios rubbish.
6. I hate rap music (i know its not that uncommon but people always shout me down for saying it so im counting it)
