Unpopular Opinions

Hermaphrodites should be allowed to choose their OWN sex, not have it done by the parents and ruin their lives. I think of it as disgustingly cruel our society resorts to mutilating them at birth when they have no choice treating them as if they are freaks. Leave them ALONE and let them make the decision! I don't know how our society can stand by doing something so evil. Seriously, what the hell is WRONG with you people?

i believe that once convicted guilty and given the death penalty that persons should be executed by a gun shot to the head within the day, no more of this repealing shit that makes cases drag on for decades

 

[BlumiereBleck]

I support the death penalty. If you murder or rape, I don't think you have the right to live anymore.

Fallout 3 was batter than New Vegas.

Atmosphere in 3 was superior in every way.

*Flameshield... UP!*

Forth on this one.

Also, I agree with the killing disabled kids who show no sign of life or intelligence. If I ever become a vegetable for longer than a month, please kill me.

 

[angryfish]

Flameshield raised.

1 = I don't believe maturity, wisdom comes with age. I could go into more detail, but I won't.

2 = Sexism against men can also exist.

3 = Bad grammar has no correlation with ignorance.

4 = I don't agree with suicide, but I also don't agree with mindlessly stereotyping anyone who does as cowardly or selfish. As ironically, it's in inconclusive ways cowardly and selfish in itself to do so.

5 = Hitting a woman is no more wrong than hitting a man. Equality is equality, practice what you preach.

I'm not entirely sure I understand what you're trying to say in your 1st point. Are you saying that maturity doesn't come with age but wisdom does, or that neither do? I would definitely agree with you that maturity doesn't, i'm not sure either way on the wisdom bit.

I agree with all your other points too, but just to be nitpicky/pedantic - While I know what you mean and agree, bad grammar presumably has some correlation with ignorance of the rules of grammar

Yeah, thank God no-one's ever been falsely convicted of murder, otherwise you might have a problem...

People with self-caused problems should not get free health care. If you drink/smoke/eat yourself into some kind of medical condition (liver failure, lung cancer, diabetes ect.) then that's your own damn fault and you should pay for your own fucking healthcare.

[small]Also, I don't think DA2 was that bad. Not good, just not that bad.[/small]

That opinion is wrong and you should feel bad.

He's got a point. People that binge-drink, smoke and/or over-eat due to lack of self-control should know of the potentially harmful side-effects it can cause, therefore why should we have to pay for their treatment and cause an even bigger drain on resources, when they could've just not done it in the first place and actually taken better fucking care of themselves? Why shouldn't they pay for their own damn health care?

Of course, that excludes those who suffer second-hand smoke, slow metabolisms and just happen to have diabetes through no fault of their own.

I don't think incest before second cousins and incestuous marriage should be illegal, as long as you don't reproduce.

Bestiality is animal abuse, and I don't care what anyone says about it "not hurting the animal". It's still having sex with a living being against their will, therefore that's rape. Pure and simple. You could make the same argument that child molestation doesn't hurt the child if it doesn't know what's going on, but it'd be equally as retarded.

Oh, mate. Sorry, I kinda made that unclear. I was commenting on his DA2 thing. I agree with the former opinion, I'm just bashing his opinion on DA2.

It's a thing we do.

Because pardons for false convictions are really useful when you're dead.

I think that all Balkan countries should be back in the control of Austria Hungary and all those that weren't should be as well. They've done nothing but try to kill each other and fuck up their part of the world and europe by extension. This includes greece.

I also think that there should be a mandatory license to have children. Nothing drastic just something that says you're mentally stable and seem fit to be a parent BEFORE you have the kid not after.

I also think sex ed should be much more up front about sex and honest and that Birth control should have mandatory coverage by insurance. Also alcohol cigarettes and recreational drugs should be banned forever because no good (except music and poetry) has come from these things.

Hey you said they were opinions, not that they had to be feasible.

EDIT: OH And that everything that is Russia or former Russia should be swallowed by a black hole. I despise Russians...

EDIT2: Algeria should be back under French control. last one i swear.

This is an unpopular opinion? I'm suddenly rather worried about the views of the majority.

Oh, I misconstrued it as being somewhat popular, at least maybe on here, since I've heard a good deal of people claim that it's not animal abuse/rape if it doesn't hurt them, and people only or mainly reject it because it's disgusting.

Spider-Man 3 was an enjoyable film.

Hell, I think it was the best film in the trilogy due to the multiple villains, Venom, dealing with Peter's dark side, Peter and MJ's crumbling relationship (fairly realistic, rather than the typical thing that happens in superhero films where the hero "gets the girl" and they all live happily ever after), etc.

I also think that there should be a mandatory license to have children. Nothing drastic just something that says you're mentally stable and seem fit to be a parent BEFORE you have the kid not after.

I'm not sure I've already said this, but either way, I agree.

In other words, rather than attempting to discover the CAUSE of someone's even menial misery and at times relevant/understandable concerns with the world, you shun them in order to selfishly allow yourself to continue living in sunshine and rainbows.

I don't "shun" them in order to continue living in my puppies and kittens world, i'm going to have a big, cheesy grin on my face regardless.

What I detest is when people go out of their way to bring other people down.

But please enlighten me as to why it is selfish to be happy?

I'm genuinely curious to know your reasoning behind that one.

My biggest problem with some of those "concerns" with the world is it's by people that make no attempt to change anything.

As it's well documented I spent many years in the British Army and have been to the back arse of beyond and seen damn near everything a human being is capable of. The difference between people like me and people that complain is we've seen it, we've been there and we got the bloody t-shirt. We did what little we could to make sure shit didn't happen to as many people as we could possibly rescue/save/protect. We didn't sit around and whine about it.

So you will have to forgive me if I do drag every bit of happiness I can get out because, quite frankly, I fracking deserve it.

I do hope you forgive my selfish reasons for being happy. I haven't had much of it so now, as I get older, I take joy in the little things. My kids, my wife, my wifes cats (even though they hate me), my wifes ever growing army of bloody hamsters (seriously, we have 11 of the little fluffballs, she likes cute furry things) and the various other animals that dwell in our petting zoo ... sorry ... house.

I have joy because i'm alive. Morbid reasoning, I made it out of every single shit pit I was sent to when others did not. So yeah, i'm happy. I like life and it's little quirks. Hell I even like you and I don't bloody know you, I like you have the balls to question someone even if it is anonymously over the net.

i think obama is pretty good

I liked spiderman 3

i don't like mass effect that much

i believe johnny depp is better when he plays a normal, respectable role rather than some wacko

I am against the death penalty

I hate it when atheists talk about how "christians shove beliefs down their throat." When they constantly shove their lack of religion down yours."


Please be gentle.

 

[Jake0fTrades]

People who denounce all organize religion and use Westboro Baptist Church as an example of "the evils of religion."

The WBC is a f*cking pack of lunatics. And they are in no way indicative of organized religion as a whole.

 

[Rock-nerd]

Apart from 2-3. i don't like your views. but it's your opinion so it's cool

 

[Woodsey]

Goddamn, you guys are edgy as fuck.

I wish I could be half as cool as most of you.

I like the sarcasm, but this thread is for the unpopular opinions. There's a reason they're unpopular. So everyone here is going to appear dark and edgy. Sorry bout that.

There's a difference between unpopular opinions and some of the insane shit that's come up in this thread.

I think medical marijuana is waste of time, and marijuana should be sold, taxed, and regulated like alcohol. That opinion seems to be accepted by about half the country.

But I also think all drugs should be legalized. Yep - morphine, amphetamines, you name it. Studies have shown that current policy doesn't reduce the tendency of people to get addicted to them, and that the major health problems people have as a result is because they're getting low-quality chemicals off the street.
If only cleanly made drugs were sold (and all these drugs have medical uses, so they ARE all produced cleanly by regulated companies as well) I think it would reduce fatalities and take a lot of money out of the black market. It's juvenile for politicians to think that restricting availability will stop people from using. There's really very little different between what we're doing now and what happened during Prohibition, whose only significant lasting effect was to strengthen the black market beyond belief.

dude, I completely agree with legalising all drugs, but I alos think that because it's a great way to get people off of them. The reason why people won't get medical help when they're addicted, is because what they're doing is illegal. If it were legal, it would be a hell of a lot easier to find the addicts, and to help them.

That's of course not mentioning the fact orginised crime would practically die, we'd be bolstering shitty econimies where they grow this shit, and of course, the glorious amount of money that wouldn't be wasted on dealing would people who take drugs, and that would be made by taxing people who take drugs.

And I never plan on taking a drug more serious than alcohol.

Insanity is subjective, and they're unpopular for a reason.

Total democracy was the worst thing to happen to the human race... /hides

What would you suggest instead? Not attacking you, just curious. Some kind of dictatorship presumably, but what? A real meritocracy (where the smartest are literally in charge), a monarchy?

In an ideal world? A strictly regulated state with one figurehead elected by the intelligentsia. I wouldn't trust the majority of people to pack my bag in Tesco, let alone vote for the best person for the country. And the current system implemented, (Looking at England here)the government is crippled with indecision, unable to make major changes due to the blocking processes from the opposition and the Lords or controversial decisions due to most people not understanding the logic behind it and therefore voting them out before it can be passed or successfully implemented. I truly take the opinion that a dictatorship run by intellectuals is the most efficient way to run a country.

As you can imagine this opinion doesn't really go down well with most people.

Well, that's rather an odd example considering the 2010 election wasn't exactly a democratic process.

I seem to have read your example wrong. Anyway:

And no country is truly and totally democratic.

There's a difference between unpopular opinions and some of the insane shit that's come up in this thread.

Yep, well done. Now read it again and think about why I may have made a distinction when technically there isn't one.

I'm probably about as opposed to this view as you get, I adore democracy and would want nothing else, so while I don't agree with you, I do see your point and I understand why you hold that view. My main problem with views like yours is that the only people I trust less than the general public are the people who declare themselves "intellectual" enough to run a country.
