What's your controversial opinion?

[TheYellowCellPhone]

I support euphanasia and abortion.

I think people with horrible mental disabilities that stop them from learning at a normal rate should not be allowed to live (however, mental disabilities such as Tourettes, Aspergers Syndrome and ADD are fine).

I think far too many people put a high value on a human life, especially a child.

 

[Warlord211]

I think anyone who tortures animals or kills animals for no reason (pets or wild animals) should be executed

I completely agree with this

Magical girls can all go die in a fire somewhere.


((Keep Reimu, though. I don't mind her as much.))

Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the worst anime I have ever seen that had decent production value. And trust me, I've seen a lot.

EDIT: Also, as an anime fan, in general I hate other anime fans.

 

[Dogstile]

I actually LIKE how EA markets their games.

If a child is born severely handicapped [both mentally and physically], it should be terminated at birth.

So murdering the handicapped is not cruel, heartbreaking or wasteful?

I wonder how people would feel about murdering the hateful.

There is no hate whatsoever behind my opinion. Just sadness.
I'm not talking about murder; I'm talking about euthanasia. As an encouraged choice.
I simply cannot comprehend why anybody would keep a shell of human being alive for years, just because it carries their genes, or because of this weird sanctity for all human life. That time, effort and money would be better spent on raising another child or making the world a better place for everybody else. I don't see why the state should invest in something so futile, when there are less avoidable problems in dire need of a fix. I mean, okay..empathy. But that will only get you so far if you steadfastly avoid pragmatism.

I don't know. I remember being forced to watch a video about Chernobyl children back in secondary school. These kids were in constant pain and incapable of coherent thought and comprehension. There were babies with heads the size of watermelons, blankly staring. Deformed limbs. Chronic pain. There was no way of fixing that. Not even alleviating it, really. What's the point in nurturing them and prolonging their existence, when nothing will change? Why are they being kept alive?

I don`t think that they should be excecuted, but atleast commited and evaluated for being a budding Psycopath. Instead of an opinion, I pose a question.

What should be done when someone is identified as a Psycopath if they haven`t commited a crime yet, especially in the case of a Psycopathic child?

They should be watched carefully as to not interfere with their life but enough to make sure their psychopathic nature never turns them into a serial killer.

That is the most offensive thing I've seen so far. lol

People can be judged by how they treat those who cannot defend themselves. I agree too.

 

[dementis]

I think we should remove racism by having every race reproduce with another until there is only one race, I'd be interested in seeing what someone who decends from every race would look like

I also think human cloning and in-depth genetic modification research should be carried out to remove all human issues before birth, as I for one would not like to be born with major mental or physical disorders and be forced to live with them my entire, miserable life.

 

[FyreSyder]

This sounds like a good opportunity to be honest. (As said by the OP, I don't want to offend, I just want to tell the truth.) Here's my controversial opinion:
I severely dislike to generally hate most, if not, ALL humans I've come into contact with. That's just how I feel.
(No, I'm not some angry teenager pissed off at something trivial and taking it out on others).

I generally really don't like humans. I'm talking objectively here. Subjectively I think humans can be awesome, funny, brave and beautiful. And the human race can be good. We are the most intelligent species we know of in the universe. And that's fine. But we are at a stage in development where we still carry heavy evolutionary baggage. We still have animalistic tendencies in behaviour, and this I believe outweighs and positive things you may find (Like love, forgiveness, compassion, etc.) And I really hate that people don't realise this themselves. I hate people who can't control themselves and think rationally. I hate people who believe in things that are not real, like god and supernatural stuff. I hate people who make their own fun at the expense of others. I hate the human race for being so selfish. I especially hate blind faith and delusion. I hate humans for thinking war will achieve something.
We are still just cavemen with fancy technology. The thing that's unfortunate (Atleast from what I've seen) is that there are more dumbass/idiot/stupid/illogical people than there are intelligent/reasonable/smart people. I think that's very unfortunate, especially in the long run.

You know what? I give up. I have now given up on human decency. Maybe one day I will successfully delude myself with false hope. But, until then, I have officially lost hope for humanity. Even if I, (A most insignificant ant in the vast ocean of life) muster up the courage to achieve something good and special, in the end, it will all be for nothing...

..........sigh.........

Aaaanyway.........I think I'll go and read the Dr. Manhattan chapter from Watchmen before going into a deep, deep sleep.

 

[sinterklaas]

My controversial opinion is that the Islam should get the fuck out of the west. If you want to practice your violent religion so badly, please do it in your own countries. Don't infest the west with it.

In fact, my opinion is that any religion or ideology which supports forcing their believes unto others should get the fuck out.

I'm not talking about murder; I'm talking about euthanasia. As an encouraged choice

Because it's way fine to encourage someone to put down their child like a sick puppy. 'Hey, lady, that child of yours looks a little slow. Maybe we should kill it. You know, for their sake. It may be smiling now, but really it's in agony. Do the right thing; kill little Jasmine.'

Oh yeah, that's pretty encouraging.

I've a better idea! Instead of talking about how to help people and save the world, why not, you know, do something about helping people? Maybe not sitting behind a computer preaching the ethics of murdering the disabled and coaching others into a reproductive cycle you find pleasing.

But hey, it's just a thought.

Christ Almighty... Not a 'little slow'.
If your newborn child shows the symptoms of having an utterly debilitating congenital condition, then you should be made aware of the fact that he/she will never be a human in anything other than the taxonomical sense. What you do after that is your choice, but you should not expect unconditional help. The human body is capable of producing multiple children. There's a slim chance that every one will grow up in pain, unless it's a genetic condition, in which case you should think twice about having kids.
Why exactly should everybody pay for the parent's choice to raise a genetic train-wreck?

Nice of you to assume that I preach ethics via a keyboard all day, though. Please list your humanitarian efforts, and I'll try to match them.

 

[Hamish Durie]

in my own opinion catholicisim and christianity and heavy religious types can keep away(wouldve wrote something much more course but im trying to get the 2weeks without incurring morderator wrath badge)

 

[Arrrgh_Bruce]

Legalise euthanasia. And abortion is perfectly fine.

 

[Vault101]

If we're all OK with abortion, I say we should stop with the pretension and just let anyone abort their kids at anytime.

It drastically reduces crime and creates a better genetic composition for the local population.

a ball of cells is a little different to a thinking/breathing human being

Spoiler: This concerns Finland only, so you might not give a shit

Olen samaa mieltä Hakkaraisen kanssa

 

[mr. genocide]

we should have more Realisticly violent games like manhunt/manhunt and should get rid of age ratings and instead have a sort of maturity test to dtermine what games/movies you can and can't purchase...

 

[Astoria]

Not sure if these are controversial but here we go.

I believe that a majority of stereotypes exist for a good reason.
I believe that current religious beliefs need a serious makeover.
I believe that humans are not meant to work the way we currently do.
I believe that people don't change.
I believe that we are meant to spend our lives with one person but that the chances of finding that person and realising it's them are incredibly low.
I believe that creativity is more important than science.
I believe that humans should put less energy into furthering ourselves and more energy in saving the planet.
I believe that animals have as much right to live as we do.

This is the thing a lot of people forget in the debate. When someone holds up a sign labeled "Baby Murder" with a picture of a cute toddler on it, they are lying to your face. It's one of the reasons abortions usually aren't allowed after 8 weeks or something like that (could be way off with the time period there).
In fact, nearly all zygotes, definitely in mammals and other animals to a lesser extent, look nearly identical at first. If someone actually looked at a human zygote, they could be forgiven for thinking it was a lizard.
