I really hate it when people believe that muslims are taking over the world. It's so extremely stupid! Just because many immigrants (at least in europe) are muslims doesn't mean that they're taking over the world.
I can't say I'm familiar with such manga. How is it different?Queen Michael said:You only mention shonen manga/anime. Have you ever tried antyhing intended for an adult audience? I find that while I'm bored by shonen, I really like josei (for adult women) and seinen (for men).Mezmer said:All Anime/Manga will never be able to escape the trap of having completely convoluted plots, and unrelatable, emotionally primitive characters. Maybe it's a translation thing, maybe it's a cultural difference, but I cannot stand it. Ideas like Naruto, Bleach, and Death Note, etc. are cool, but they get so bogged down with melodramatic, long winded, pointlessly drawn out story arcs, and convoluted characters...the whole universe becomes one confusing cluster fuck. I don't take anime/manga seriously as [graphic?] literature or having much artistic merit. Hate me for that if you want.
You can find drama and/or thirllers that don' go in so much for the stereotypical manga style, if you understand what I mean.Mezmer said:I can't say I'm familiar with such manga.

Now consider, if you will, that there aren't any other pizza places around. Would it still be so hard to see why it could be an option? I'd actually agree with you if I had a choice.Jack the Potato said:That Dominos is ever an acceptable place to get pizza from if there are other options. Don't even bother telling me you like Dominos, because that's incorrect. Dominos is inferior to just about every pizza place I've ever been to barring one or two. It's... edible I guess, but I don't care if it's a couple bucks cheaper, I will always be willing to pay a few bucks more for pizza that isn't shit. Their buffalo wings are awful too. Dry and over-breaded and lacking on sauce. Bleck. I will never accept that anyone considers Dominos to be worthwhile, and nothing anyone can say will convince me to do so.
You're not the only one, mate. I, too, loathe cigarettes. With one exception, I would never even consider dating someone who smokes at all, let alone engages in chain-smoking (which, to me, is incredibly gross). And as for drinking, I do not see the point in having more than the occasional drink, let alone getting drunk.Quaxar said:Dare I say it?
I hate alcohol and cigarettes. I guess a lot of it it comes with the job but really drunk people are mostly obnoxious and I want to punch them in the face, not to mention I haven't found any alcoholic beverage that I can even stand the taste of anyway. For the life of me I can't see any appeal in deliberately getting completely pissed. You lose the ability to even walk straight but at the same time think you're the most important person in history.
And I despise the smell of cigarettes and how it's constantly blown in my face because every Tom, Dick and Harry smokes in this damn country (42% of over 15y, second only to Greece with 43%, EU-wide).
You are right, we don't know enough to accurately measure such things. Accurentely is the key word. The scientific community has a current estimate that it's 13.75 plusminus 0.11 billion years. With estimate being a key word. That estimate has some pretty solid grounds, though.KarmaTheAlligator said:Now consider, if you will, that there aren't any other pizza places around.

Anyway, for mine: The "fact" that the universe is 14 billions years old and other BS like this. We definitely don't know enough to accurately measure such things, and yet they seem to be taken for granted. And don't even think of defending this one with quantum anything.
I am going to be a massive **** for the purposes of this thread and not comment on any of your actual points.Relish in Chaos said:-People that ?hate? or wish death on Justin Bieber. I mean, really? I can understand not liking him, but flat-out hating the guy? What the fuck did he ever do to personally hurt you? Or are you just jumping on the bandwagon? Just because you feel butthurt about not having success after all your hard work doesn?t mean you should take it on a young man who is no more deserving of criticism than any of the other pop hacks out there.
I think the joke with The Walking Dead is that everyone who watches it is still just waiting for it to get good.SmashLovesTitanQuest said:Never seen Arrested Development. I did see like 3 episodes of Community and I didn't really like it. Not because it's bad, just because it's not my sense of humor.Sexy Devil said:How about Arrested Development? Community (before season 3)?
You guys don't have to convince me Walking Dead is good or whatever, by the way. If you enjoy these shows that's just fine. But since this was a thread about unpopular/unacceptable opinions, I thought I would throw mine in there. But it's just that. An opinion.

You are aware that the PS1 came out 18 years ago right? As in the majority of the current cycle of gaming has happened since then and a entire (human) generation of gamers have been born and are off to university since the PS1 came out? I'm not asking in a "I can use Wikipedia and am thus teh smart" way either a lot of people myself included forget just how long its been and how much has changed since the PS1.Ranylyn said:-
- "PS1 games are classics." "Gaming is relatively new so by relativity even games from last gen are classics."
Copious amounts of bovine fecal matter excrement samples obtained from a male specimen. Punk rock from the 1990's will never be considered "classic rock." Harry Potter, among other books, will also not be considered "a classic" for a very very long time to come. Why? Because the very definition of "classic" either means something is the original, OR, and this is the relevant one, it has stood the test of time. A new form of digital art that's been around for 5 years wouldn't call stuff from year 1 "classic" because the medium itself is still new. But noooo, the community is full of self-gratifying people who want to sound elegant by calling their own personal favorites "classics" without even stopping to think about what the goddamn word even MEANS! This pisses me off more than you can probably guess, especially when Sony has the audacity to call it's PSN Store sections "PS1 classics" or even worse, "PS2 classics." Before using a word, learn the meaning!
Yea but for each one of those there's 99 shows like, 16 & Pregnant, Jersey Shore, Workaholics, and Wilfred. Also add Psych to your list.Ix Rebound said:-How I meet your motherSmashLovesTitanQuest said:In fact, name any TV show and theres a 99% chance it sucks.

I can't think of many others on the spot but what do you think of those?
Allas you're wrong. Smoking is not going to be an factor limiting your number of offspring. Besides I don't think the world is overcrowded anymore. Ghandi sat this: "The world has enough for everyones need, but for no ones greed." I believe this to be true even now, and also in the far future. We're are a clever species, we'll figure something out to make the heavily populated planet continue running as it is.Patrick Buck said:I'm glad people smoke. It's a new form of natural selection, which i'm sorry to say this overcrowded planet needs.
Your sir, just took Daystar's #1 spot on my list. I love Korn. I grew up listening to them. I met them at the Carolina Rebellion, they're nice guys. Prepare to rue the day you insulted Korn... Well, what are you waiting for? Start rue-ing.Bloodtrozorx said:A debate that I had just yesterday "Korn is still relevant and making good music"
They have never and will never make good music nor be relevant to anyone who isn't a 13 year old Juggalo.

I doubt that myself. I think it is much more likely that there will eventually be a mass famine due to our insatiable greed, resulting in a massively reduced population.A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky, dangerous animals and you know it.
