Unpopular Opinions

[Modusoperandi0]

No time. Can you challenge yourself to a mono, instead?

 

[Dtox333]

I hate most Bronies. Not all of them, but most of them
I enjoy Runescape.
Nathan Drake isn't a tosspot, and I don't see why people hate him.
The 2008 Prince of Persia game wasn't crap.
Loading Ready Run isn't as funny as most people make it out to be. However, Unskippable and Feed Dump are highly underrated.
Dubstep is my least favorite genre of music.
The only good Oasis album was Morning Glory.
America is overrated (Coming from a Kiwi).
The Starwars prequels weren't that bad, and Jar-Jar Binks was kind of funny-ish.
I find nothing wrong with the use of Comic Sans. It's a nice and friendly font.
The Clash are the best band.

How many fan groups have I pissed off?

"I hate most bronies"

This gave me a sad, but I'm fine with it, the only thing I don't like are the people who take that very same opinion and assault us with it.

Though, I don't see any reason why people have to declare "most." I just find it unfair to generalize, with any group of people, not just bronies.

so you find everything about gayness to be wrong? I dont get that..even if your religion says so it doesnt matter what other people do...it doesn harm me or anyone

Yes - I do.


If you don't believe in Jesus and what the Bible says, it's pretty difficult for me to argue my point.

Anyway, it may not directly hurt me, but God is still against it; therefore, so am I.

So I assume you also support polygamy, are against men that have sex with women on their period, are against tattoos, don't eat all sorts of meats including but not limited to shellfish and pork and rare meats, don't wear clothes made from a blend of textiles (also known as almost all clothes today), are against people sowing fields with mixed seeds (which is really stupid since it drains the ground) and finally hold Saturdays as the sabbath.

 

[The Crazy Legs]

People who can't spell or use punctuation should be rounded up and tortured with sleep deprivation until they learn to write like human beings.

What about dyslexics? It's not their fault.

What about people with English as a second language? Actually, I think American grammar-nazi's should be rounded up and tortured with sleep deprivation until they learn to ignore minor spellingmistakes.

Grammar-Nazi? Am I a grammar Nazi? I never said that it mattered that much to me, and it's just sleep deprivation. It's more or less just a joke, because I find that people who sepll lke this rre anyying. Sorry that my opinion sounds a little bit obscure.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Lesbians are the greatest creation of all time.

That, and those who inherit and carry the Y chromosome are the scourge of the universe.

Dunno if they are unpopular...but I think they aren't vocally popular anyways.

 

[wurrble182]

i think flame shields are for pussies.

 

[CrazyCapnMorgan]

Lesbians are the greatest creation of all time.

alter that slightly... "lipstick lesbians are the greatest creation of all time."

Nothing against butches, i just prefer girly girls who like girls.

The only way I'm going to alter it is if I say:

"Lesbians in a pool of chocolate is the greatest creation of all time."

But then, that's just my belief...and a fervent PRAYER!

 

[templar1138a]

The fact of the matter is, people have kids for themselves.

You are correct. That said, I still intend to have kids Because a lot of idiots keep giving birth without intending to. I'd like to counter that with kids who will be raised by parents who actually care about the process and have a shred of intelligence. So my reason is one part selfish and one part idealistic. I figure if we're going to go extinct anyway, I may as well get some enjoyment and satisfaction out of my life. Otherwise, I may as well just kill myself because my life won't have any direction.

As for an unpopular opinion I have: I am against affirmative action. I'm white. I'm male. Go ahead, call me racist. Call me sexist.

...Got it out of your system yet? Good.

Now, the reason I'm against affirmative action is this: Entitling someone based on race is racism, and entitling someone based on sex is sexism. This also applies when the previously-oppressed are being entitled. Affirmative action is racist and sexist.

The path to true equality is not more inequality in retribution for past inequalities. That leads to anger from those who aren't entitled, which then leads to more retribution. Instead of a balanced scale, we get a swinging pendulum. The kind from a certain Edgar Allen Poe poem.

No, the only way to bring true equality is to practice true equality. Affirmative action should only be brought in as a final resort if all other factors are equal (which is extremely rare).

 

[Gypsybob]

Got a few more unpopular opinions.

I like My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic

The star wars prequels were quite good.

I have no quarrel with KFC chips (fries for the benefit of americans and other non-brits who say 'fries')

KISS are the most overrated band in history. (but still not bad, I like some of their songs)

Nutella fucking sucks, hate hazelnut things and none of you are going to tell me that you don't taste the hazelnut because you do and it is horrible.

We should bring back the dunce hat in schools and the cane.

If you don't believe in Jesus and what the Bible says, it's pretty difficult for me to argue my point.

Anyway, it may not directly hurt me, but God is still against it; therefore, so am I.

I assume you're also against haircuts and never wear clothes with polyester blends.

Do you yell at girls for having "braided hair" because it isn't proper and biblical enough?

And fortune telling, do you refuse to eat/open fortune cookies?

Hopefully you don't wear any pearls or gold(like say a wedding ring) because Timothy asserts how unchristian that is.

There's a lot of non-virgin women around dude, havent you read the bible? "But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father's house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father's house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you." (Deuteronomy 22: 20-21)

You'd better get out there and throw some rocks at women, unless of course you aren't a good Christian.

except of course you also have to be a pacifist at the same time "But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also." (Matthew 5:39)

And I hope you don't have tattoos, because the bible explicitly forbids those.

And you've never masturbated, or used a condom, or pulled out during sex, or had sex with a woman on her period I assume?

And while we are on that vein: "But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart." (Matthew 5:28) I sure hope you have never looked at a woman and thought she was attractive if she wasn't your wife, because that would make you an adulterer.

Do you have a brother? Because if he dies, the bible says you're supposed to fuck his wife.

Have you ever picketed outside of restaurants that serve oysters, crabs, shrimp, lobster, prawns, clams, pigs, rabbits and told them they are going to hell? I assume you don't eat those things either, right? Because God hates people who eat those.

Oh and if you cut off a child's balls, they are going to hell and may no longer become a Christian. Which makes perfect sense, how dare an infant let itself be overpowered and abused, it deserves to burn in eternal hellfire.

Oh and don't forget female teachers, they are condemned to hell as well, for having authority over men. You should write some letters to your congressmen to get teachers to be exclusively male, lest too many women be sent to hell for their sins.

Oh and while you're at that, be sure to ask them to reform the justice system to cut off the hands of thieves like the bible says.

But of course after you cut off their hand, make sure you give them all your stuff because: "And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also." (Matthew 5:40)

Have you been keeping track of your mother? I certainly hope she has never prayed without wearing a hat or shawl because if so you should fear for her eternal soul. "But every woman that prayeth or prophesieth with her head uncovered dishonoureth her head..." 1 Corinthians 11:5

Oh and don't forget retards or just plain weird people:
"For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken. No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the Lord made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God." (Leviticus 21:18-21)

Oh here's another good one: "For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him." (Leviticus 20:9)

I hope you've never cursed your parents. You were never like 11, and said "i hate you mom you're the worst. I wish you would just go away" right? Because if you ever did that... man you should kill yourself. And if your parents didn't kill you they must be pretty big sinners.



Man you know that like 70% of Swedish people are unbelieving atheists/agnostics who reject God?: "If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, 28 then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. 29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters."(Leviticus 26:27-30)

1. The book of Acts repeals laws regarding things that are unclean. This is considered part of that. This reference is going to be coming up a lot.

2. That comes from Timothy, a book largely of advice from one preacher to another. It is very cultural and should not be taken as absolute in any way.

3. There's a difference between fortune telling and reading a fortune cookie.

4. Timothy wrote nothing, Paul wrote that book. Once again, a book largely of advice and it is good advice at that. People really should focus more on doing good than worldly goods.

5. A book of law that Christians do not have to follow to the letter as far as punishment is regarded, but rather as far as not doing the bad things that require the punishment.

6. This is therefore not a contradiction.

7. Acts

8. I really take no issue with this one. Despite my own weaknesses in this regard, I don't think of this rule as bad. You have to realize that most Christians don't actually think they can accomplish many of these goals, but rather should always be aiming to do so.

9. That was a very specific biblical story pal, regarding a very specific individual. Looking at the era the story was about, it did make sense though. Infant mortality was high at the time.

10. Acts. MOTHERFUCKING ACTS.

11. New Testament has no problem with Eunuchs.'

12. Timothy, again. You really need an understanding of context.

13. See 5

14. I believe that was part of a metaphor and not to be taken literally. Yes it was part of a metaphor.

15. Acts

16. Ha! See 5. I seriously didn't think I'd end up using that one more than Acts. You proved me wrong.

17. I can't believe you didn't realize he was talking about the Israelites specifically there. God did that a lot. He would often punish his own people especially hard so that they would learn their lesson and because they knew better. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Swedish.

I find the absolute ignorance of context within all of your citations hilarious. Though I don't necessarily agree with the individual you are quoting (the exact NT verse could be specifically referring to male prostitutes), I find myself annoyed by your know-it-all behavior combined with an absolute lack of understanding of context. Try again some other time.

I agree 100%. I understand AA was in response to unfair, racist and sexist business practices, but fighting racism with racism and sexism with sexism just makes the problem worse IMO. AA is just treating the symptoms instead of the disease.

Why would a god who is supposedly infallible just change his mind after a while? Why would one thing be against god at one time then not after a while. Surely a perfect god would know what is right and wrong at the start?

In some ways I suppose it isn't mine to ask, but if I had to answer, I would say it is people that changed. Cultures progressed, prisons became a viable option, and it was no longer necessary for God's followers to make themselves seperate as their purpose became an inclusive one. Right and wrong are not as absolute as we in our more western mindset would like it to be. There's a reason the majority of the Bible is stories and advice rather than rules.

If you were christian then right and wrong would be absolute.

Right would be what god tells you is right and the same for wrong.

You have no right to tell me what I believe. I believe they are less absolute than we would like to think. For one man it is meaningless to drink, for another damnation. Do the right you know you ought to do. That is my only absolute law. What I ought to do is not the same as what you ought to do. What God would have me do is not the same as He would have you do. If that isn't less absolute than what most would like to think I don't know what is.

 

[Seneschal]

Directly inspired by this same thread:

On the Escapist, I and a friend of mine always check the profile of any posters that post ignorant, bigoted, amoral and reprehensible opinions. Then we laugh haughtily because their nationality is the same 90% of the time. Hint, it's not Canada.

 

[Chunga the Great]

Fallout 3 was better than New Vegas.

Atmosphere in 3 was superior in every way.

*Flameshield... UP!*

Absolutely correct.

OT: I'm not sure if I want to do this, but here it goes:

Mass Effect 1 was absolutely fucking awful.
