-I still believe dinosaurs are still alive today. Very few, but if we keep looking I'm sure we'll find at least one.

 

Of course there are dinosaurs today! What do you think chickens are? They're a descendant of dinosaurs, so therefore they must be them, at least a little bit.

-Minecraft Pocket Edition is actually in my opinion more enjoyable than the Xbox Edition.

 

-I have some American Capitalistic points of view that I refuse to share on this site do to it's vast Socialist majority.

 

-The word "overhated" is just equally as annoying as the word "overrated". Let people love what they love and hate what they hate.

 

-You're never too old to sleep with a teddy bear. :3

 

-FPS games are... not my thing.

Here we have a constantly reasonable and rational brony who stands up for his views

applause needed, people.

About conservatism and liberalism, liberationists generally shut off conservatism, which is pretty hypocritical when you think about it. I'll put it this way: REAL conservatism is wrong, but when people are against new things, it doesn't make them conservative. They generally just think about what they're supporting.

A year later, and I still don't believe Frozen garners this much attention and love as the best disney film and movie overall.

 

If it wasn't for Sony's horrible marketing and bad decisions, the vita would be doing massively okay like in Japan.

 

Sorry to say, but I don't enjoy the controll scheme of smash bros on 3ds, so much that I don't consider it as awesome as everyone else.

Religions today are just a method of controlling people.

[baba_booey 4,302]

Out of the major 3D Mario games I've played so far (Note: Haven't played 3D World or a lot of 3D Land), the Super Mario Galaxy games are the weakest of the bunch. I like them and all, and they could've been really GREAT games, but the god dang motion controls are irritating and are just torture playing with them on certain levels.

 

And that's why the Wii, even though I still like it, is in my opinion the weakest of the major Nintendo consoles so far. There are some really great games on it, but ruined by incredibly annoying motion controls..

[CosmicHooves 2,705]

My view on religion is quite different from others.

Thus it is unpopular.

 

Religion originally was a result of superstition.

But where did this superstition come from?

 

That's where I look back on other religions.

I personally believe Yahweh, the God of the Bible, was the original divine being that sparked superstition among mankind.

The question is, did he exist?

Well I believe he did and still does.

I don't believe he had a name at the time he began interacting with mankind, but I do believe this divine power, this "God" existed.

What is he?

I believe he is an all-powerful being that comes from a different dimension than ours where nothing has a begining or an end.

When this divine being began interacting with mankind people didn't know what to think of it.

Some called it "Yahweh!", some called it "Zeus!", and some called it other names of different gods.

This is what sparked superstition and thus many religions were made.

Now what I believe is that the divine being interacted with a particular people group.

You would know them as the Jews.

They recorded the actions and commands of "Yahweh" (that's what they called it) in manuscripts.

 

Now onto the Bible...

The original manuscripts the Jews wrote down are long gone.

Now we have the Bible.

The question is, "Is it a reliable source."

In my opinion, it's as reliable as Wikipedia.

So... not so much.

Well, what happened to the original manuscripts?

The Roman Catholic Church.

That's what happened.

What had happened was around the time of the Medieval Ages the Roman Catholic Church was the leading power of Europe.

They had the original Hebrew texts with them and that's when they decided to make it into a book.

The Bible.

BUT I and many others believe the Church did something to the Bible.

They manipulated what the original texts said to control the people with superstition.

This is where lots of people blame religion as a controlling mechanism.

I also believe this is where the corruption of the Bible happened.

I am not a creationist because I personally believe "creationism" was added into Genesis by the Church.

 

Now what are my beliefs classified as?

Get ready for this long name.

I am a non-denominational partially biblical Christian who is also an evolutionist.

So basically the very minimal of what it is to be classified as a Christian.

I do believe "getting saved" is an actual thing.

Why?

Because before I got saved, certain things like pornography, lying, and the insults I gave to my parents didn't seem to feel wrong to me.

At the age of 15, a couple weeks after I did get saved, I noticed that all those things felt wrong.

I basically became a better person.

 

So there's my entire unpopular viewpoint of religion in a nutshell.

No, religion has set me free. Jesus loves you. He died for me, and you. Being free is far from controlling.

They tell you that you have no free will and that God has a "better plan" for you than what you can come up with yourself, among other things, how is this not controlling?

I'm also against calling musicians "artists" especially if they're terrible musicians, or not musicians at all. 

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Competition brings out the worst in people especially when it comes to sports. People getting in fights and killing each other over which sports team they think is better is not a healthy way to live. I never liked competition. All I saw in it was people getting way too competitive and letting this competitive mindset take over their minds to the point where they say irrational things about their rivals. It just brings a bitter angry side in people. I don't think it's the fault of competition but the fault of human stupidity.

-Football sucks

-Defining ppl by the color of their as a race is b.s,  we are all human.

-Rainbow Dash sucks

-OC's can have a depth if ppl take time to write them as such.

[Kothen 279]

I think the haters of bronies are actually much MUCH more pathetic than the people they try to make fun of. In general hating on anything is stupid. Let people like what they want to like. Why judge people on what they like if they aren't hurting anyone? There so many people I meet that seem to have a hard on for despising things.

There is no good or bad style of music. There are only styles of music one likes more or less.

[MozillaToast 233]

Frozen is an abomination of a film (As are most Disney films IMO).

Football is an overrated and overpublicised sport.

Youtube-ing is money worthy I.E. It should be a job (For professional entertainment not mediocre minecraft crap that no one even cares about)

Minecraft is a crap game. Is one of the worst games I've ever played, possible the worst.

Bassists in bands deserve more attention.

Christmas makes me feel a little sick inside.

Some things can't be dealt with democratically.

When someone says "I'm being racist... but" I assume that they're a racist.

I can't stand sexualized material. Barely found out yesterday that it plagues my fav show.

 

Outside of that, I think this world is severely overpopulated. Mother Nature only has a limited capacity for all living things to live in peace. More excess humans means more corruption, destruction, and misery. Technology will never be a simple solution either

[sweetolebob18 728]

In Episode 2 of  MLP Friendship Is Magic, part 2.  Fluttershy's behavior is so very out of character, she must be under a spell or being mind controlled.  Contrast it with her behavior in Dragonshy.  She voluntarily goes into the dark, scary Everfree Forest, at night, after some VERY frightening events to confront Nightmare Moon a legendarily nasty monster.  No fuss, no muss, nobody even asks, she VOLUNTEERS for this? And, it just keeps getting more horrible w seemingly endless monsters, terrors & dangers.  OK, she handled the Manticore, but what about the rest of it?  OK, T just met her & didn't know her well, but she got  to know her later & F's behavior never struck her as odd?

 

I'm posting this here because I seem to be the only being in the entire multiverse that thinks that her behavior was in any way, shape or form even slightly odd.

 

My other comment would be that some adults paying other (alleged) adults millions of dollars every year to play a child's game while other adults watch is, IRL, the most peculiar thing I have ever heard of (& after the life I've led, that's saying something.  I mean, I know people who think they've been abducted by space aliens & one of the kids I went to school with used to talk in tongues at religious ceremonies (maybe still does, we ain't as close as we used to be) Pro Sports is still the weirdest

I must say, there ARE corrupt Churches. But sir, i have never in my life been told that. I am the most free man you will ever know. Follow Jesus' ways and TRY to live like him and you will be happier then ever. And I don't see how people can hate someone who lived and died for every other persons own sins. Please, follow Christ, he wants to see you in the paradise that awaits.

Your* Sins. And mine. He died for them all. For you. Me and everyone.

The Nintendo Entertainment system is overrated. It does have some great games, and it did save the video game industry from destruction. So I do like that about it, but whenever I see a list of the top 20 best game consoles the NES is always put at number 1, and it leaves me thinking ''really?''  

 

Also having to change the 72 pin connector is a pain in the ass

Some form of a jumpscare is needed to give horror impact. When they are overused or predictable, then it becomes bad horror. 

 

Edit: It is also critical to have good pacing leading up to the scare.

EDM is the best music genre

Politics suck

The minimum wage should not raise, we need jobs instead

Most PC gamers aren't arrogant people that bash consoles and actually play consoles, and the PC gamer mindset doesn't exist

Rainbow Dash is not overrated

Rap shouldn't be consdidered music.

SJWs irritate the hell out of me.

Footballers should be paid minimum wage.

Rainbow Dash's egotistical personality annoys me.

Pewdiepie should've never, ever have become this big.

Breadwinners isn't that bad a show.

I believe in labour and hope they get elected in the UK.

[duidamasterXD 9,627]

Judging from the dozens of posts in here vilifying Rainbow Dash, calling her overrated and in some cases, calling for her replacement and/or removal from the show, I feel reasonably confident in thinking my opinion that RD is an underrated character is an unpopular one .

 

As with Rarity—a character many believe receives excessive hate, and rightfully so—I've observed a tendency by some to project traits onto RD and judge her by stereotypes she doesn't conform to. People often accuse these two of being stuck up, bitchy, selfish, or in RD's case, act as if she is just another dumb bullying jock of the type everyone's had some sort of negative experience with, when all of these have been proven untrue, for both characters. Hip hip hooray for depth and development!

 

Which isn't to say that everyone who dislikes these two is projecting, or that anyone is somehow wrong for not liking or identifying with them. The point I'm trying to make is that we miss out on some great things when we focus on the negative.

On another note, regardless of what your stance on the events in Ferguson is, I was disgusted by the sensationalism and the way certain media outlets commented on the issue. It seemed like people were encouraged to choose between two narratives as opposed to doing actual research and then reflecting on what--if anything--we should take away from this nightmare.
