What's your controversial opinion?

[GroovyV]

I believe that the world would be a better place if everybody in it was just bisexual.

Before anyone complains that this is just the self-serving interest of a gay man who's had more than his lion's share of crushes on straight men, that's exactly what it started as.

But the more I thought of this scenario, the more it just... made sense. Nobody, not even the most staunch anti-gay obviously-Christian slack-jawed bible-thumping Palin-supporting dumbass can deny two things:

1) Homophobic bullying is a real fucking problem
2) Gay teenage suicides are always a tragedy and should be prevented whenever possible.

Hence, everybody being bisexual would eliminate a large chunk of bullying, and drastically lower teenage suicide rates. For one simple reason:

- Nobody is going to be a homophobic prick to someone, when everybody has the same orientation. And because of this, no kids will be bullied so badly over their sexuality that they're forced to take their own life.

So, everybody being bisexual is just a very good way to avert horrible, horrible events. As well as remove one of the main reasons people fucking despise the Christian religion, so there'd be less of this "Christians are evil and must be hated grrr!" kind of attitude towards religion that's just taking up pointless amounts of time and fucking energy.

Plus those Ugandan homos wouldn't be forced out of their homes, imprisoned or killed, and I think everyone can agree that this would be a good thing. Poor guys...

Also, it'd remove that whole fucking "does he like dudes?" song and fucking dance that seems to precede every man-on-man relationship in history. Cause trust me, that dog and pony show is a fucking pain in the hole. [sub]And not in the fun way.[/sub]

This... Makes a lot of sense. I'm sure we as people would find SOME WAY to fuck it up, but still, it makes sense. I've never known anyone to get bullied at school for their orientation, but i know i wouldn't stand for it. And all those other treatments of people for their orientation (regardless of their (born with it/chose it) ideas), are just sickening to me.

I'm bisexual, and usually just get stamped as Gay right off the bat. I can understand girls not wanting to be with a guy who's messed with other guys, i guess... But just seeing us in one shade is really stupid and narrow minded.

 

[Trololo Punk]

There will never be peace as long as their is religion..

 

[DarthFennec]

I think Christianity and Islam are absolutely horrible in all their forms (some other religions too, but not all, and mostly just these two). A lot of people try to defend their own sect because they somehow think it's different from all the others, but it never is.

Also I despise feminists and vegans way more than I think I should, and I get into a lot more arguments about it than I feel is necessary

 

[ckam]

Anime, manga, and video games have rights. I support the Supreme Court decision on WBC. Abortion is a choice issue since children are only really human beings once they can have a political discussion, double the points if it's intellectual.

...

That's all I can think of off the top of my head.

 

[Death_Korps_Kommissar]

I think men are mentally, physically, and any other comparison you can think up, superior to women.

At least, I think "westernized" men are superior to "westernized' women. I can't speak on cultures outside of that. I'm not so silly as to say something crazy like the worst man is better at everything than the best woman, but given similar status in comparison to others of their gender, the male will win out every single time. I even think that women statistically living longer is brought out by an artificially shortened lifespan for men due to what they're forced to do and put up with as they live, not some sort of actual genetic advantage women have.

Basically, your "westernized" woman is a self destructive mess of daddy issues, personality disorders, and insecurities that is overall babied and coddled for her entire life. She uses sex as a means to live because she has nothing else to support her. Men who behave as "normal" women do are labeled mentally incompetent, perverts, rapists, and/or racists.

The one weakness that men have(and the only salvation for women) is the excessive sex drive that actively affects their judgement to the point they're willing to be subjugated by that which they should be ruling. I guaran-damn-tee that if men worldwide suddenly lost their sex drive 100% completely, and sex only served as reproduction for men, within 50 years women would be handled as cattle, and men would take on sons as desired, or perhaps in times of lowered population people would be paid to impregnate women in order to continue the species.

Well there is the sex drive and the complete inability to express any emotions for fear of catching the "gay". For every one girl that kills herself, 4 men kill themselfs. So women are a lot more emotionally stable then men. You are an extremely sexist person sir, to say that women are infirior is complaint wrong. Men are only stronger at birth, men are far less evolved and still strive for alpha male dominance and can be complete emotional wreaks ecause of their insane sex drive and over hype masculinity.

That is trash you've been fed by women. You're under this delusional idea that men are all roid raging bros with incredible fragile psyches. It's absolutely not true.

Your suicide statistics would easily work in my favor by simply mentioning that woman's need to manipulate men with sex to survive results in more hurt men. Face it, it's a crime if a man cheats or leaves his mate for another, AND it's a man's fault if a woman cheats or leaves her mate for another. Living in a world like that without being able to realize the bullshit for what it is would make me want to kill myself too.

Oh noes! D:
The lady propaganda is everywhere!
Alright here's a test to see how comfortable men and women are with sexuality.
Ask a girl to kiss her friend (who is a girl) hello. Usually no problem, hugs and giggles all around.
Now ask a man to kiss his male friend hello, why happens?
"ugh dude WTF? What with all this gay man? Dude I don't swing that way, I like
My boner in girls" and so on.

Both sexes are equally unstable, narcisistic, manipulative and assholish in their own ways.
To say otherwise is absurd.

Ask a man to take off his shirt and he will.

Ask a woman to take off her shirt and you're a pervert unless they want to fuck you.

You're going to need something better than that.

Men have the need to show off their bodies to show females how big and manly they are and to show the other guys whose the big dog.

Women have be portrayed as objects and lesser individual for the last 2,000 odd years and have been treated as second class citizens.
Were are te point that women still get paid less for doing the same amount of work, women are far more subject to sexuall assault then men, women are frequently denied promotions an jobs or being female.
POP QUIZ: What is the ration of men to women being kidnapped and illegally trafficked into the sex industry.

I'm guessing your a White middle class male.

Women have been through and still go through far, far more than you or I could possibly imagine.
And being a shovanistic pig is not helping.

That's a bit of a stretch. I wasn't talking about attractive men. I was talking about any men.

Shouldn't women be getting hired more than men and getting more promotions if they do equal work for less? But no, they need Affirmative Action and, according to you, that still isn't enough to justify having a woman work for you. I wonder why?

ANSWER: Dunno, but wouldn't easier targets make more sense? That tends to feed into my inferiority argument, not take away from it. You could ask me what the ratio of children to adult men kidnapped is too, it's just as silly.

Correct guess. I'm guessing you aren't allergic to penicillin. I'm probably right too, it's easy to guess correct when you pick the option with 95% odds.

"What they've been through" is no excuse.

Well I think it is still an excuse because it still happening and it takes generations for some grinder so deep into someones psyche.

And no the reason women still don't get hired more is because the men who are in charge still think the women are to inferior.
They also see them as threats, just slightly obscure example, a huge amount of fishing records are held by women, men thought that it was impossible that these women were better at fishing then them, that it must be a pheromone that women give off.

The reason I brought up White male is because of the same thing of reverse racism, sure it's bad but you can't forget that THESE THINGS STILL HAPPENED.

Dude, I don't want to go down this road, it's embarrassing and I look weak, but you need to get laid. Big time :/

Boom, headshot. You fell into it too. You actually agree with me on some level, you don't even realize it though. I *don't* need to get laid, because I don't need a woman to feel self worth. Apparently you do, and I pity you for it. It's a terrible affliction.

Oh no I was fully aware of this trap, I read your comments with other people and I thought I could talk some sense without resorting to this.
But it's okay if your inablity to get women or socialise women has caused your terrible misoginy, I think us the term.
Don't worry were all friends here. I know I have my insecurities, that's why I don't need your pity.
The only difference between me and you is I accept my insecurities and whatnot and try to better myself as a person rather than putting the blame on women themselfs. Yes women can be awful whores sometimes, but men are no better, were equally shit.
The sooner you except that, the sooner you grow.

The reason I "hate" women is a lack of sex = the only reason you DON'T hate women is recent sex.

Thank you for the stealth endorsement. I kind of ruined it for you just now, but you should be a man and openly agree with me. If there's a wife of gf spurring you on over your shoulder, why take it?

Nope single virgin here, I'm eighteen, kissed my first girl when I was seventeen and she cheated on me with a house full of guys
If anyone has the right to hate women for stupid shot, it's me.
And the reason that I "take it" is because I try my best to stay positive, women aren't all bad, like men aren't all bad.
But there is a degree of our semi evolved monkey brains that makes getting someone very confusing.
It's tough man, but when you find someone you really like and who likes you, apparently it's awesome

Talk to me once you're not at your sexual peak. You're about as impartial as Fox News in the state you're in.

Sexual peak? Oh my that is delicious
Dude how old are you 15-17?

Old enough to be able to tell when my horomones are influencing my decision making. You aren't.

I am a bit hostile about it to get my point across, but I do not *hate* women. Am I a male chauvinist? You bet I am. I won't go to a female doctor, I wouldn't use a female lawyer, i wouldn't work for a female boss, I wouldn't count on a female lawyer, etc. But that doesn't directly translate into hate, I just think men are more likely to be better at pretty much any of that. A shitty guy might do worse than an exceptional woman, but an average guy does better than an average woman, and an exceptional guy does better than an exceptional woman.

I'm not a wife beater or a rapist either, despite what many will jump to claim. I don't think of women as human shaped animals, necessarily, though I have met a lot of women that were human shaped animals. I do think a world where no men had a sex drive would eventually lead to women being treated as glorified cattle solely for reproduction purposes though.

and your proud of this? this statement you just gave proves you have serious issues that will have to be worked on if you hope to function in this century.

Not as much as you would think. The only one of those I don't have full control over from the start is the doctor, and there's a law stating people can't be refused when requesting to see a doctor of their own gender. Obviously intended to protect women from the evils of men with malpractice insurance and nothing to lose except their right to practice medicine, but it works perfectly well for my

So 15 then?
Dude your probably still young and think you have it all figured out.
You don't. I don't and none of your friends do.
When you get out of highschool and into collage, you'll change so quickly it'll make your hat spin.
You know either that or you'll die alone and forgotten
Your choice.

 

[starkiller212]

Some pretty ignorant people in this thread... that's related why I don't really have any concrete views on politics or morality. That's my controversial opinion (unusual at least). I doubt I can know enough to come up with proper answers to all the relevant questions, and people generally suck so much that I've stopped caring anyway.

 

[icame]

If I had a button that ended all human life, I would push it. Not because I hate humanity, but because our actions will eventually cause the death of most life on the planet, and I would prefer that not to happen, whether it means our survival or not.

Also. I believe humanity would be a lot better if all religion was abolished.

 

[xxmyhero64xx]

First off. I despise Christianity. In the past years I've seen it do more harm than good. Harold Camping. West Boro Baptist Church, umpteen child molestations due done by Catholic Priests. Now this doesn't mean I don't like religion, I am actually quite the fan of Hinduism, Buddhism, Daoism, Shinto, and Confucianism. But I do think that science should be a priority first in our schools and religion should be second. If you're going to teach kids about Christianity you better do it alongside Norse mythology so they at least have a decent choice.

Now. Despite what I said previously I believe that most religions are a detriment to the human psyche. I believe that human beings cannot advance their minds properly when they believe that there is an existential force having an impact on everything around them. I think it also shields people from reality.

I have more but this a big one for me.

 

[Jegsimmons]

i got alot:

1. i believe that a good chunk of Atheist are responsible for doing the same shit they blame religious people for and wont acknowledge any good religions do.

2. i believe all drugs like weed and salvia all the way to meth and coke should be illegal because why you may argue it doesnt hurt,but it doesnt do society any good now does it?

3.I believe that capitalism and the freemarket are the best economical systems there is as long as it isnt regulated too much or too lightly and people will study how it works.

4. Corporal punishment should be used....alot...

5. i believe women can be as smart as men if they didn't value stupid shit so much (and honestly alot of men could be smarter too)

6. Vigilante justice is awesome!!....up to a point obviously.

7. every movie james cameron has made is incredibly over rated (exception is T2, and Avatar was just horrible)

8. automatic weapons should be easier to legally acquire (and at the same time the police can carry automatics with armor piercing rounds and high grade body armor

9. tobacco companies shouldn't be ridiculed like they are today. they dont go after kids, the anti-smoking people go after kids.

10. i believe that people who claim religion is bad are as ignorant and bigoted as people who say atheist are evil. let people believe what they want to believe. there is room for all people.

 

[Haydyn]

My controversial opinion is that religion as a whole is not bad. Everyone lumps people together. "All Christians do this, and they are crazy!" "All Muslims do this and they are crazy!" I don't see religious people walking around insulting people for not worshipping what they do. All I ever see is a river of morons who openly trash religion because they can't believe in a higher power. I don't see why one should bash people for their spiritual beliefs. Are there crazy religious people? Yes. Are they all crazy? Of course not! Just the act of mentioning religion and people will fire up the bullshit train.

I don't judge people if they don't believe what I believe. I couldn't care less if my friends are Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Aethiest, or whatever they want to be. That's their choice. even during my time away from Christianity when I had no belief in the Christian concept of God, I didn't have anger towards religion. Why should I? I've gone to conferences where different religions came together and talked about simularities and differences. Why can't Aetheists get along with us, or at least stop harrassing us at every chance?

I think it is more asinine to believe in no higher power at all than it is to belief in one. I find it difficult to think that man is the highest form of intellegence in existence (woman have beat, for example.) Humans kill, rape, torture, steal, lie, and cheat. Is it that hard to belief that somewhere something is more advanced than we are, possibly our creator? I will defend to the death that there is a higher power. In the mean time I'm going to celebrate life, do charity work, respect others, and live a happy person.

 

[bigsby]

Hm, I have a few...

1: Morals have no business being law.
2: Most modern countries are calling their oligocracies democracies
3: Won´t go into detail, but lets just say that I have some controversial opinions about the country of Israel. Note that I am not an antisemit nor do I have anything against Israelis per se, its just the country and its policies...

 

[Ouroboros0977]

Hitting a girl isn't abuse.

Trust me, school has one of the worst double standards known to man.

Ah don't worry, I have been in several occasions where I had to sit there and be punched 3-8 (sorry about being vague, concussion does that to you) times in the face because I wasn't allowed to strike back because doing so would get me expelled... Oh and in my secondary school you got given a worse punishment for being hit with the first punch as they assume that you aggravated the perpetrator. So it lead to all of the bullies in my schools being female because they knew they would get away with it a lot easier than the guys being bullied regardless of their reaction.

 

[MegaManOfNumbers]

I think twilight princess and mario sunshine are better than oot and mario 64.

High fucking five brother, High fucking five!

Sonic Rush, Adventure, and Colours DS are AMAZING games.

The fact that you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't happen. Have you ever visited Landover Baptist's website? That's what alot of churches in the bible belt are like, and I'm telling you that from experience.

Also, maybe you didn't mean it that way, but to say that you've seen Atheists commit "extremely christian" acts implies that only people with your religion are capable of good acts. You might wish to revisit that sentence, or that belief if you actually hold it.

By Christian Acts i meant an act that a Christian should do, like helping people when they are in need, even if doing so hurts you. Or comforting someone who is in pain.

I wasn't trying to imply supremacy, just show that we don't have a Monopoly on good acts committed on earth.

also, please don't judge the whole faith based on a few fundamentalists. It would be like judging all atheists based on Bill Mahr.

I find fat people disgusting, lazy and not worth living.

Spoiler

People who just eat unhealthy, don't take care of themselves and above all are incredibly lazy. Not people with health conditions or that of the sort.

its actually possible for someone to be portly and healthier and more athletic than a skinny person (if they work out)

I have too many to count. Most of them can be attributed to my ability to see things from alternate points of view and interpretation.

does anyone who has read this entire thread still seriously believe that "religon sux" is a controversial opinion in this community?
