Works for me. I still don't like marriage in general though. It just seems insincere to me. Do you really need a ceremony to stay with someone forever? 

You really don't. It's symbolism more than anything, though in a modern society, certain rights and priviledges need to be attributed to a spouse. It just makes stuff way easier.

I actually like all of the mane 6, f*** me, right?

 

I think neither Gangnam Style nor Baby deserve a billion views on YouTube.

 

Fluttershy is a boring character, she does absolutely nothing except be scared of everything.

I hate Capitalism.
I hate most religions (not Buddhism, Paganism, Jainism and Theistic Satanism).
Dubstep is the only genre of music worse than metalcore and deathcore.

Music:

 

Classic Metallica is better than classic Megadeth. They're heavier, and have better songwriting. Megadeth lacks the power and sheer darkness that Metallica have.

 

... And Justice For All is their best album.

 

Death Magnetic was uninteresting at best, and their self-titled is okay.

 

Technical playing isn't bad when there is good songwriting, but technical playing for the sake of technical playing is. Also, you don't need the best chops in the world to write an amazing song.

 

People who bash metalcore blindly agitate me.

The "fan-pandering" thing is stupid and annoying, though I know that I'm not the only one who thinks this.

Kill Em' All is much better than Master of Puppets. Seriously Master of Puppets is overrated as f*ck.

Death Magnetic is decent.

Christian music has a lot to bring to the table.

No it doesn't, as clearly evidenced by these foolish raps that are all superstitious and misguided.

 

And then look up "DMX I Miss You", and hear those weak lyrics that only dumb, weak people can relate to.

Let me revise that: Christian music as a whole, not including most hip-hop, has a lot to bring to the table. Examples: Thousand Foot Krutch, RED, Demon Hunter, and TobyMac are all great Christian artists.

I was being sarcastic. You don't think that guy rapping his heart out about real, raw issues, without resorting to trying to rhyme obscure words to sound like a "more skilled" rapper, was not at least a little bit impressive?

 

My unpopular opinion is that rap is a legitimate art form.

I have an artistic thing that also relates to bronyism

 

If you're a pony "artist" and you draw over screenshots, or use bases, you're not an artist.

 

I see so many screenshots, and rainbow dash recolors. It doesn't look original. It looks like you were too lazy to learn how to draw ponies.

The first and third thing, it looks like they are contradicting.

I probably "relate most to Fluttershy", and I'm hoping for more enjoyable moments from her. Particularly the next episode, which I will avoid learning details about and just watch it when it arrives in a couple weeks.

I don't dislike Fluttershy, I just wish she would do more and not be so scared of every little thing.

 

Although, I can relate to her, cause I'm pretty shy myself.

That's not an unpopular opinion, though... I reckon.

 

I've been trying to do vectors based off my own freehand drawings scanned onto a computer.

That's different from bases though.

I believe it's an unpopular opinion, especially with this fandom which is ridden with awful rainbowdash recolors and people being so protective over an original character they made using a pony dress up game, or traced over a screenshot.

I'm not an artist myself, but I think it'd be okay to do that just to get a hang of the anatomy, as long as you don't claim it as your own work. Right?

This goes against historical fact. The institution of marriage itself predates the largest purveyor of homophobia, the beginning of all Judeo-Christian religions, by at least 4,000 years, and has since time immemorial involved same-sexes.

 

That's why the whole "traditional marriage" argument is, has, and will always be complete bullshit.

 

It's complete and total BS for other reasons, too.

 

"Traditional marriage" is a completely different thing than what marriage is today, and no, not in a good "People used to have values, and would stay married for more than a week" way. No, marriage wasn't formerly about love to begin with. All you have to do is read a little bit into history, to know that. Daughter's were sold off to other country's kings for marriage, for political reasons. This is what marriage used to be about - property, money, and oftentimes politics when it came to being on the king's level.

 

This is clearly evident even in the Bible, which a lot cite for their views on 'Traditional Marriage'. In the Bible marriage is absolutely nothing like what these 'Traditional Marriage' people are advocating.

 

Same-sex marriage opposers really need to drop the word 'traditional marriage' and claiming that the Bible is their reasoning, because really, those two things (which are clearly contradictory to their cause) are hurting their cause massively. After that their only foundation is prejudice and discrimination. Or perhaps I should say I want them to drop it because I don't want any chance of having to live in a society where marriage is 'traditional' and based off of the Bible. I don't want society to regress 1,000 years plus back.

 

But I'm being a bit silly, they won't win.

Exactly. That's not bad at all in my opinion. :3 I mean, it's good if you want your style to ring true to the show's style, and as long as you credit the original artist, and they say it's alright then, hey go at it, right.

My most unpopular opinion is that I like Pepsi more than Coke.

 

I can't tell you how much flack I've gotten just for that from my friends.

IMO bands who tend go against Christianity are really good. Just look at Burzum, Varg Vikernes burned down three historical churches in Norway and his music is amazing. He also joined Mayhem, killed Euronymous and got sentenced to 21 years in prison.

Morgan Freeman's voice is not sexy, beautiful, or soothing in any way, shape, or form.

 

The Internet probably does more harm than good.

 

Postmodernism cracks me up every time.

[CrystalRose 636]

 I was comparing how you do not choose to have cancer just like you do not choose to be homosexual, but never the less you still have a disease.

 

 

*slow clap* congratulations you failed, again, to see what I was actually comparing. I was referring to the fact that you do not choose to have cancer just like you do not choose to be homosexual. If it's natural just because someone is born that way then would you consider all mutations to be natural? What about conjoined twins? Or people who are born with more fingers, toes or other appendages  Are those natural occurrences? If so then why do we remove them. There are also a plethora of other diseases that you can be born with. Do you consider those natural? Perhaps the confusion is in the word "natural". By abnormal I simply meant to say that when you think of a human or if you were to describe human from schemata then you would think of a generic person. I don't know about you, but my generic definition of a human does not involve them being homosexual, having any other mutation or being diseased. 

 

 

Cite your sources and I will gladly think otherwise.

I think you and I will continue to differ. I do not view homosexuality, bisexuality, pansexuality, transgender or anything else as any kind of "disease". To even think of it as a disease disturbs me greatly.

 

I do believe that having an extra finger, whilst not being usual, is natural. It is an occurence that happens in nature.

 

Breast implants, or hair extentions, are unnatural. They are things that do not occour in nature.

 

I happen to have a sickness I was born with and I will unfortunately never escape from. To be born with a physical "disease" is very different from being born gay, which I can also offer an experienced opinion with because I am bisexual, and was born that way. The two things are very different, my sexuality is just as part of my person as yours is, whilst my illness is not part of my personality at all. I think to compare the two things, however you meant them, is ridiculous. My source is my personal experience, I have examples in my own life of both types of things you have mentioned and I can honestly say that it sounds like you have no idea what you are talking about.

It really has nothing to do with personality or anything like that. What it really boils down to is that someone who is homosexual cannot reproduce with other men. Therefore, the desire to be with other men is not right. I consider them broken just as someone who has a disease, is broken. They are broken because they cannot reproduce which, as I have said, is the only known real goal of most living creatures. I am not saying that anyone of any other sexuality is worse as a person than anyone else, I am simply saying that they are broken because humans are suppose to be heterosexual because that is the sexuality that promotes reproduction. It's not ridiculous.

I'm sorry, but even explaining it like that I disagree with you. That's the thing about opinions. You think it's perfectly logical, and I still continue to think it's ridiculous. There's nothing broken about a gay person, in my opinion.

[Clarity 3,094]

Using the word "trolling" as an excuse for being an asshat is retarded.

 

If someone is a murderer/is really hateful, or something, it's the fault of their peers and closest people and rather little of the guy themself. They likely had a horrible life, were abused, or something along those lines. 90% of the time the people that influenced them had much of the blame of the reason why they have a bad personality/was not successful. Say there's a bully who tortured a kid. That kid may grow up to be really hateful and wanting to take revenge on anyone, and IMO, that would be the bully's fault more than the kid.

 

History is useless. Frankly, I couldn't care less what happened during the Revolutionary War. Like it's going to help when I grow up and have my job application-- "please explain why the minutemen were called minutemen." Unless something from the past influenced the present a lot or something, I think it's just not necessary for teachers to teach us history.

[Kamil 315]

Well then my unpopular opinion: History classes are NOT useless, though they are overemphasized and poorly taught most of the time. Understanding how past events led to other past events is an excellent way to understand how past events led to present events, and how present events will lead to future events. History classes also include research skills as a method of finding out those past and present events in order to make use of them.

 

On the other hand, History professors don't seem to agree with that explanation very often, and prefer some nonsense about history being important all on its own.

I absolutely, positively LOVE rap to the point of no return.

Eminem is especially good, particulary when he's talking about his daughter and how much he loves her. So sweet that it breaks my heart...
