    Wasn't this thread created before?

    Anyways, here are mine

    1. The Dark Knight is immensely overrated.
    2. I hate The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
    3. I don't like anime.
    4. I never enjoyed Mass Effect.
    5. Hot Cheetos suck, and it pains me to see them at parties and be THE ONLY CHIP THERE!
    6. I don't like Pokemon.
    7. I like Call of Duty. It's not bad at all man. Sure there were stinkers, but the series had some REALLY good games! Looks like people hop on that god damn bandwagon!
    8. I don't like comic books. But I like the movies so there's that.
    9. Now this is a big one, and I think I'm treading in dangerous territory by saying this. I believe there is a difference between someone who is gay, and someone who is a faggot. I respect gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and 100% support them. However, I absolutely hate it when some of them take it to the extreme and act creepy as shit. Like some of those people from the show Oz. :(
    10. I think Watch Dogs is a great game. I'll even go as far as to say it's one of my favorites of 2014.
    11. Sarah's death in The Last of Us didn't effect me in any way. It was sad yea but I wasn't crying over it.

    I think of more later.

  • I agree with you about Hallowed be thy Name. I don't think it's a bad song, but I also don't consider it to be one of their best. It's a great jam, but there are songs like Paschendale, The Talisman, Rime of the Ancient Mariner, Alexander the Great, and many more that are far better in my opinion.

    Looking through your list, I agree with 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12 in a way. I love the shore, but I hate all the Jersey Shore bullshit. I go to the shore mostly for fishing, and I've seen sharks, dolphins, and whales, I've met good people, and I've caught a lot of good food. So while I don't like the Jersey Shore shit, and really I don't even like swimming in the ocean much, I do still love the shore.

    * Life is Strange is not just overrated, but a terrible game in general. * Led Zeppelin is one of the most overrated bands of all time. *

  • I have many unpopular opinions, but I'll share just one this time (not sure how unpopular it is, either):

    I was against the removal of downvote button, I considered and still consider its removal a mistake.

  • Police are worthless in most cases. All that shit you see on tv with them taking finger prints and tacking down criminals is all shit just for tv. They don't help you out, they don't search for criminals, and they rarely even question them if they do find them. Maybe it's different for white collar citizens.

  • Alexander is a completely underrated song in my opinion, it's one of my personal favorites. It's not just the Jersey Shore, but just the shore in general, I've never been a fan of it, every time I go I have a miserable time. Also, just an fyi, I finally bought Book of Souls today, I've only listened to the first 5 tracks, but it's really good so far.

  • Alexander was one of the first Maiden songs I ever heard, and my love of history made me love it all the more. Well, what have you done at the shore? I personally don't enjoy the boardwalk or swimming, but I do enjoy some simple pleasures there. Surf fishing and deep sea fishing are a good time for me, and simple things like walking in the surf or feeding seagulls and pissing everyone off, and some other things.

  • I don't mind swimming all that much, I just hate swimming in the ocean, I always end up stepping on shells whenever I walk into the ocean. Plus, every single time I go in, there are always a shit ton of jellyfish, I don't know if it's just being unlucky or what but every single time. So naturally I try just staying up where all the supplies are and where are stuff is set up, thinking it would be better, nope. Flies, flies everywhere, they swarm around your food, they land and bite your legs, and fly all around your head no matter how many times you try swatting at them. You try listening to music or reading a book to ignore them, but it never works. But one of the things I hate most is the exuberant amount of people, my God there's so many I can't stand it, the beach is just way too overcrowded and they're so annoying. I've never been deep sea fishing so I wouldn't actually know if it's any fun. The only time I can actually remember having fun at the beach was when, years ago, I went to Wildwood, and it was only because of the rides really.

    Maybe, I just think the focus on pot is really ridiculous. Cities like Camden and Detroit are practically war zones, but cops are still preoccupied busting people for a drug that's far less dangerous than alcohol. It's emblematic of the War on Drugs' failure.

    No, nor did I imply that. As someone who has had to call the police before, nothing has ever come from it. Nothing much has come from calling the police for most anyone I know in my county and those surrounding. Like I said, they don't question criminals thoroughly, they don't take fingerprints, and they don't do most of what they do on tv. The majority of what they do is pull old people over for having handicap tags hanging from their rear view, because it's an obstruction of view, pull people over for not wearing seatbelts, and sit at cross walks to pull people over that don't wait for pedestrians to be 100% out of the street even if they are in the other lane when you proceed to move. Most of their time is spent doing trivial things to collect money, not shooting people, and not chasing criminals.

    Edit: Calling the police is like filling out a census form. They come and take all your information and then they leave and nothing ever gets done. The difference is that the census actually does get done.

    Interesting. The time my sister went missing they seemed rather helpful. The time my house was robbed they were rather helpful. The time someone on the other end of town took his wife as a hostage, and my police friend swatted up and arrested him, they seemed to be rather helpful. Of course the majority of the things they do are mundane happenings, because that's the nature of the world we live in. Terrible things are rare, and you need to be able to pay the police officers, because when a terrible thing does happen it would be really shit to have to ring the town bell and hope someone decides to show up.

  • Maybe the police force in your area is just far more efficient than the police forces in mine. In my area during a major robbery no police arrived on the scene because the officers on duty were napping. We've had a string of robberies that have gone unsolved. A break in attempt at my house and my neighbors resulted in us subduing the would-be thief and keeping him tied up until the police not so promptly arrived, took him away, and set him loose a few hours later uncharged. I could keep going but I'm certain this will go nowhere so I'll leave it there.

    – I think marijuana should be illegal.

    – Homestuck is too boring for me to get into.

    – COD is a decent game.

    – Sonic was never a good series.

    – MLP is awful.

    – People who get offended at anything anyone says should just isolate themselves

    – I can’t get into Pokémon.

    – I'm a male. I don't care if you're a female. If you hit me, I will hit you back. I don't care if you're female or a male. Punching me will result in a punch back. That's not sexism, that's exactly what equality is. I'd never try to hurt anybody, but if I was attacked, I'd sure as hell defend myself. If you're planning to hurt others, you'd have to be pretty stupid to assume they wont do anything to protect them self.

    – Pansexuality isn't real. Pansexuality is just bisexuality for people that want to feel special. Some bisexuals prefer one gender over the other, while some don't care; doesn't mean they're "pansexual".

    – Five Night's at Freddy's is garbage

    – I believe in racism against white people is an actual issue, but I think the bigger problem is just how institutionalized and accepted racism against white people is.

    – Doctor Who is overrated.

    – Being an atheist doesn't give you the right to act like you're better than religious people.

    – Women are more sexist than men

    • i don't think you should learn to "love your body" if you are obese, you may as well tell smokers to love their blackened lungs ( don't hate yourself but don't love your illness)

    • i think modern feminism essentially just wants to oppress men for a significant amount of years until they know what it feels like, and then they will be even (not equal) which is really just an eye for an eye (and as we all should know that just makes everybody blind)

    • i think the "wage gap" between men and women is just because women don't want to learn trades and do physical or dangerous work, if women really wanted equal pay for equal work they would do tough jobs (equal work) that pay well

  • Doubt what you will, even in the face of examples I provide for you, which I specifically stated were from my area. Outside of my area, I can't say for certain. What I do know is that there are plenty of unhappy people with stories online, on the news, in the papers, etc. Police officers can do plenty good, but they can also not do good as well. A good quote from the time my great grandmother was robbed and she asked if they were going to take fingerprints, "No, we don't do that because they rarely come up with a match." A police force is a necessity. Crime happens, and having people in place to prevent it by a degree, and solve what they can is a good thing. That doesn't mean that all police forces are efficient.

    -You need feminism, 1st-worldlings, it's latest results have become a part of western uniculture, that spreads rapidly in the time of globalization. Even dumb tv shows can provide some sense of independence of patriarchal traditions and views of local and to learn some self respect and respect for other women. World is complicated and we know little.

    -Also such life changing beliefs spread trough populations gradually and somewhat passively and hostility towards feminism stays here because people don't like change, bad news (Universe Sucks level bad news, people would prefer to learn that a box of cute puppies was burned than about busting a child brothel because the latter causes to remember that child brothels exist and ruins appetite), to question their beliefs and we naturally dislike charity unless receiver has puppy eyes and it grants moralgasms and want to believe that free will exists. So libfem/"equalitarian" obsession with popularity and inclusiveness leads to nothing except making the movement a widespread targetless ideological abomination open for corporate exploitation (I'm looking at you, Playboy).

    -Matriarchy is impossible, since oppression builds on exploitation, here specifically on reproductive exploitation, males are rather useless in such matter, even if they would do all possible afterbirth care it comes to much more equality in upbringing and not as much children spawning anyway, which leads making every child a bit more valuable to, say, lose them at dangerous and exhausting child labor, which in turn makes adult labor too important to lock half the population in kitchens and brothels. So all this "feminism is a revenge they want to enslave men!!1!" hysteria (a hundred years old, look suffragette caricatures) is but a projection, these guys know we have it worse and fear to be in same position, they just don't want to say (or even think) it out loud, it would make them feel kind of like jerks.

    -I think some amount of misandry (I don't mean "nowadays men are not real masculine men anymore" variation) is good for you.

    And now something completely different:

    *Monty Python references must be banned

    *Letsplayers must be banned

    • MMORPGs must be banned

    • Smoking is stupid

    • Nirvana is one of the worst grunge bands and I like that genre, especially because I have no idea what the hell they are singing, if that could be called singing

    • Education system should care less about the kids, it's too overprotective and neurotic now, every link in the chain worries too much about responsibilities towards the government to give them standardized citizens ready to work and toward parents to to keep kids in line and all-safe, hence too rigid to adopt any real innovation and stagnating

    • I think there should be more violence and shagging in the media, but nongratituos (hear me, HBO?), it nowadays comes to that, from personal experience, ~20 y.o. biology students can't kill and preparate a frog like normal people, either trowing a moralistic tantrum or squealing like kids in candy store and taking pics 'cuz friend wouldn't believe. All this is fucked up.

    Sorry post doesn't look too fancy and for bad grammar too, don't have time.

  • Oh shit, terribly sorry, forgot something else: I think the best measure of equality is criminal statistics, since females do somewhere around 10% of crimes (if selling yourself is a crime too then a bit more) they do not have same opportunity to terrorize and destroy, hence same power and weight in society, you get the idea. Life is cruel and inretsex relationships in nature are built on counter adaptations (look up evolutionary role of tits alone, they are too trick monkey male that female is not lactating and currently available fr producing new kids so he'd give her food, romantic).

    • the DEA should be dissolved and all drugs should be decriminalized (but only in specific places). Without so much emphasis on narcotics busts, cops can thin some of the worst asswipes from their ranks and focus on real police work. Think Hamsterdam in The Wire. Something like that would greatly benefit cities like Camden and Flint.

    • I support Palestinian autonomy, but I think that, practically, the 'two-state solution' boat has left the harbor.
