Unpopular Opinion Thread.

edited September 2015 in General Chat

I decided to create this thread for people who are perhaps to afraid to express how they feel about certain issues.
Here you can feel free to express your opinion about any of life's topics, without fear of being judged.
All I ask is that when expressing your thoughts, even when replying to another person's comment, is that you be courteous and respectful.
There is no need to resort to childish, or rude behavior, in order for you to get your point across.

To help you understand what exactly I'm talking about, in the way of respect, I've included a video on the subject.
Now to be clear, the man in this video is NOT me, but he does bring out some great points about how to gain respect, and how to show respect for yourself and others.

I will add more, particularly speaking about what unpopular opinions I have, but at a later time.

  • My unpopular opinion is that there should not be another one of these threads.

  • I don't like going to beaches. Or sea.

  • Didn't the last one get closed? It did and for good reason.

  • I for one am glad you opened another thread. The first one was very interesting!

  • Physical VideoGame Carts should make a comeback! I don't mean some half-baked "Go Fund Me" I mean I want Sony or Mircosoft to do this! Hell thumb drives are cheap! Why is not a thing already? I know digital is easy(almost 80% of the new games I have are in that format) But buying a game used to be an event! So my thought is flash drives with old cart style cases. I know it seems stupid. But you can buy Justin Beiber or Rhianna on ole school records! Mean while I can't buy MKX or Streetfighter on anything besides digital or disc. I've always hated disc! So yeah old and ignored. Sound about right!

  • thats not unpopular fortunately

    I don't think the upcoming movie based on the Columbine High School shooting is offensive at all. A lot of people claim that it's glorifying the shooters, but from what I've seen, it's doing anything but that. It's paying tribute to a victim of a tragedy. It's about her life and faith leading up to the events of the attack. There was this one petition I came across and a girl said that, "It's an event that we all need to move on from and forget." I agree that the Columbine Shooting was a tragic thing and honestly Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold were pieces of shit for enacting it. But we shouldn't ever forget it. It think doing that is just disrespectful to those who lost their lives. It doesn't matter how much you try to "move on" from it. It will always be remembered. It will always have an impact on our nation. But hey. That's just me.

    If anything, it's more inaccurate that it is offensive. Eric and Dylan never targeted anyone because of their faith. It wasn't their "war against Christianity" or anything. It was just a rampage shooting that was intended to be a bombing. Nothing else.

  • I actually have grown a liking to vegetables :p

  • I agree, the Earth is obviously triangular which supports the theory of Illuminati taking over reality.

  • I find it strange that so many people don't like vegetables. Of course, if all they've ever eaten are those things from the grocery store I can't entirely blame them.

    Too many times did heated arguements occur on the last one, hence it was closed.

  • And that is why that I asked, that we keep things civil and respectful on their thread. And given the fact that I am the one who created this thread, I have every right to ask that! But please don't let that stop you from posting whatever kind of comment that you want to post, just as long as it is done in a respectful

    • I believe that cats make better pets than dogs.
    • People need to chill with the body shaming. No, making people feel bad about themselves won't motivate them to make better choices. Yes, it makes you look like an asshole.
    • Bad grammar doesn't bother me. Grammar nazis do. It's the internet, no one needs to write perfect essays all the time. Relax.
    • There's no such thing as "dressing like a slut". "Sluts" are sluts because they have sex with a bunch of people, not because they wear shorts.
    • That being said, if you want to have sex with 10 men a night, go for it. You do you.
    • I'm pro-choice.
    • Women shouldn't have to shave if they don't want to.
    • Feminism is STILL needed in today's society.
    • My Little Pony is stupid.
    • The advice "just be yourself" is horse shit. Since when has anyone been accepted for being themselves?
  • I never said you did I say that.
    It's all cool, kid!

    I never said you had no right to ask for civility and respectfulness.

    • I enjoy school and I love that atmosphere. Even though I'm in college, I wish I could go back in time. I enjoyed high school especially.
    • I hate sweets. I love spicy food. The hotter, the better.
    • I also love ALL fruits and vegetables.
    • Having a drivers license does not make you cool. I live in a small town where everyone is excited to have one, and then they try to act all so awesome in some random car they purchased on e-bay. People should be more resposible with the cars or other vechicles since lots of car accidents happened lately where I live.
    • I believe that everyone can stab you in the back whenever they please and even twist the knife further. EVERYONE!
    • l love the fog and rain. Thunder storms fascinate me!
    • Most of the decisions out of some situations that people consider ''logical'' are stupid.
    • I hate when people talk crap about alcohol and cigarettes when they never even tried it!
    • I prefer Silent Hill series over Resident Evil series.
    • Being lazy is not a bad thing.
    • I love unpredicatble characters in the movies, video games, anime etc.
    • You don't have to change for someone in order to be liked. You have to change if you want to.
    • It is possible to be introvert and extrovert at the same time. Same goes for other compares.

    Oh, right. And also. I think the police and doctors are the most useless careers ever. Sorry not sorry.

    • The Wolf Among Us is my least favorite Telltale Game.
    • I kinda hate kids that are asking me the same question over and over again and doing a lot of noise all day.
    • My favorite character in Game of Thrones (show) is Cersei.
    • I hate cartoons, except the ones that are for mature audience.
    • I don't like Sam a lot from Until Dawn because her character is like way too perfect and I don't like that.

    Lol, or?.....

    1. Life is Strange is not just overrated, but a terrible game in general.
    2. Led Zeppelin is one of the most overrated bands of all time.
    3. I hate anime.
    4. I like The Walking Dead Season 2, I also like it more than TWAU.
    5. I'm against the legalization and decriminalization of marijuana.
    6. Modern Family Guy episodes suck (not sure if that's unpopular, but worth noting).
    7. @Eddie_Maiden I think Hallowed be thy Name is an overrated Iron Maiden song, it's not bad, but people say it's one of their best and I'm just not that into it.
    8. I'm not a huge fan of Borderlands 1, the story was weak, there wasn't much humor, and I found the DLC's much more enjoyable.
    9. Bobs Burgers is hilarious.
    10. I hate cookies, brownies, cake, most candy, soda, and many other "sweets." I also only eat red Starburst, don't like the other flavors.
    11. I like St. Anger
    12. I hate the beach and everything about it, it' one of the worst places to go to.
  • So do I. Arabic is guttural and it can be a very pretty language.

    I don't hate her but I don't really like her. As I said, her character is just too perfect to be true.

    ... Why?

    Of course you may ask why.

  • First off, I want to say that this is different from medical marijuana, to which, if it shows that it can actually help treat a person's illness, then I'm fine with. I even come from a state that allows that (New Jersey, whose governor is probably one of the most vocal about how he will never legalize marijuana). But when it comes to recreational use, it's just not something I can support. Now I'm sure you're expecting me to get all preachy about how it's a gateway drug, how the levels of THC are much higher nowadays, it's affects on the brain, yadda yadda yadda. Now that's all stuff I do believe, but it's not so much that but I just don't see the purpose of it, why do you have to take it to be happy? I guess it's more personal than anything, I just have a personal aversion to not only marijuana, but most drugs in general, which is also why I avoid stuff like caffeine and alcohol (that and I'm not of legal age to consume alcoholic drinks), unless it's a drug to treat a sort of illness, then why take it.

    ... Why?

  • That's all well and good, but like you said it's a personal opinion that you dislike marijuana. Why should people be arrested for smoking a drug they personally enjoy? Why should a low-level grower be locked up for years in federal prison for a victimless crime? Wouldn't decriminalization allow police to focus their efforts and resources on much harder drugs and violence. What good has come from the government's current policies against marijuana?

    • I would rather have a jackass like Donald Trump be President than Hillary Clinton.
    • I actually like the Expendables 3
    • Call me a racist idc, but I do not believe America should have a strong-believing Muslim president anytime soon
    • I don't care about Jennifer Lawrence or Tom Hardy and think that they're both over-rated actors
    • I like doing stuff outdoors

    Hopefully I don't come off sounding bitchy...

    I said that for personal reasons.

    Edit: I guess I was too harsh. I hate them because most of the doctors and cops are lazy and useless at the town I live, and I had two cases that they didn't help me and my family. Like I said, it is personal.

  • As I said, it's not just the personal aversion, it's also for the other reasons I stated above. I'm not going to pretend I'm an expert on this subject, I'm not going to act like I know everything, but I'll tell you what I have seen. I've seen speeches by former drug addicts, a lot of them said they started using marijuana and moved onto other drugs, I've read articles and papers about the effects of marijuana, especially on the human brain. Marijuana is a drug, it may not be as dangerous as other stuff out there, but there's still a danger to using it, it may not be an immediate danger, but used constantly over time, it can be.
