Post your unpopular opinions

Ok I got a second list:

Jesus was either of arabic or african origin.

Jesus was a cool dude, it's his fan club that screwed it up. (I'm not a xtian)

Xtians shouldn't get their panties in a bunch if someone would rather shorten it to "xtian" it's not offensive considering the things some of them call non-xtians.

Correlation doesn't = cause.

Darwin robbed Wallace of his due glory.

If you want to smoke that is fine.

Alot of Americans are xenophobic.

Alot of British are too complacent.

I don't mind other parents having a different parenting stye to me but:

Parents that would rather disown their kids and have no kids rather than accept they are gay or their lifestyle choices are nuts! ANY kid is better than no kid.

VHEMT is for insane people.

Evolution is a FACT, but that doesn't mean science can explain literally everything.

There is no such thing as Hate Speech, there is only free speech and assholes who abuse their right to it.

You can dislike or disagree with something and not be a c*ck about it.

Arguing with strangers on the internet is retarded.

When people use the word retard/ retarded they don't always mean some one autistic. To retard is to delay or halt progress.

Using the word Autistic to mean retarded is NOT cool "that's so autistic" No really it's not! (I AM AUTISTIC, I am not retarded.)

Autistic people can learn to cope very well and assimilate into mainstream society with patience, and the right learning techniques, they are not dumb, they do not need their hand held through life, they can be competent, they can have relationships, they are not a hazard to anybody, and as kids they certainly don't need medication.

LGBTQ people are a-ok in my book.

Sexual liberation for women in the 60's and 70's included access to pornography, anti-porn feminists are idiots. Porn doesn't need banning, it needs regulating. There IS a difference.

"The Lone Ranger" was a good movie. It wasn't bad by any stretch of my imagination, and I am known to go into things with bias, so after I saw the low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, I was already primed to not like the film. I was very surprised to have enjoyed it so much and subsequently pissed off at all the critics who all seemed to jump on the hate bandwagon.

I don't support gay marriage. personally. :/ sorry.

Neither do I.

 

 

Democracy is overrated.

 

Democracy is overrated, a vote of a person for the mental institution is worth the same as a professors vote. It's the same shit like communist socialism.True monarchy is the best shape of democracy, the king represents the people, and what they want. Unless it's a dictator like a self-proclaimed monarch like Napoleon. 

[RockinRarity 1,605]

Jesus was either of arabic or african origin.

 

 

I do think that most people recognize that Jesus was Arabic, the problem is the European art that portrays him as being white because racism and white dominance and anti-semitism and what-not. And because that art is still the most common when it comes to Jesus' portrayal, it's the image that sticks with people despite knowing that Jesus grew up in a place that is populated with people of darker skin.

 

The only people I can think of who preach that Jesus was white are Mormons.

 

So on the one hand, your opinion about Jesus' race is not all that unpopular. At the same time, it seems like it is because of European artwork from centuries past, before people like Rembrandt dared to draw Jesus as a Jew.

I honestly have no idea how anyone could be a statist.

Democracy is not overrated and it's much better than having a king.

Democrats and Republicans are both the same crap.

The less government, the better.

Here's some more:

 

There is no god or afterlife

Morality is an artificial construct and is not inherent to objective reality

There is no meaning to life, it simply is.

People who argue against evolution are morons who do not understand the meaning of a scientific theory (the evidence is overwhelming)

Capitalism is the most fair economic system which currently exists in our world.

Some dubstep is avant-garde musical genius, some is utter shite

American spellings are bloody stupid

America in general is pretty crappy

I am an ethical nihilist

Hedonism is not immoral (as there is no such thing as morality) and is a good thing as we should enjoy our short existence (since there is no afterlife)

AAA gaming sucks balls as there is no imagination in its production.

I will be buying an Xbox One but wish Microsoft had committed to full digital this generation instead of appearing like clueless push-overs.

[Qty - Cutie 20]

I guess Hitler wasn't that bad.

I think One Direction should be dead.

I think Stalin wasn't that bad too.

I think Lithuania is the best country to get beaten up.

[Nah 3,182]

My political position is in between Communism and Liberalism

 

Libertarians are hypocrites

 

Ron and Rand Paul are both jokes

 

I despise US politics

 

FPS games are fun, but overdone

 

TF2 is dumb

 

I give less of a fuck about Valve

 

Disney Channel's golden age was from 1998-2005

 

Regular Show > Adventure Time

 

Democracy is overrated

 

Fedoras are dumb

 

Reddit is ruining the MLP fandom, because r/My Little Pony thinks they control the fandom and the show

 

The MLP fandom is made up of 40% rabid fans, the rest either don't care about the fandom or are sane.

 

Hetalia is incredibly stupid.

 

Homestuck is awful and I see no appeal in it.

 

Communism is a good form of government.

 

I disapprove of many of the actions Stalin committed.

 

Religion is not the problem, it's the people who misinterpret it.

 

VenturianTale is incredibly stupid

 

Pewdiepie is stupid

 

Tobuscus is stupid

 

All of these YouTube "gamers" are stupid. 90% of them are in it for the money anyways.

 

Overrated doesn't mean bad.

 

Soda is awesome.

 

Autism is a sickening insult, it shows the average intelligence of people using it.

 

Hipsters can be cool, at times.

Hey, look! This thread is a whole year old today! I just want to say..

 

I'm not really a fan of The Living Tombstone's music. I guess I like his take-on of Discord, but that's about it.  I respect him as an individual, though.

That artist is meh. To be rather honest, all Brony Muscians are meh, I just couldn't get into those artists at all, even when I got into the fandom. :/

The "Youtube community" is just dumb as hell, even the term itself is stupid enough to make my head hurt

Just because you exist, doesn't mean you're equal to everyone else. Someone who has dedicated their lives to improving society for the better is a much better human than the rest of us, for example

 

I think Stalin wasn't that bad too.

 

>Is behind the killings of around 20 million people

>Not bad

 

.......

 

 

Communism is a good form of government.

 

Nope, it's flawed, very so

It's just a naive and hypocritical way of thinking, nothing good comes out of it

Implying that all other forms of government are perfect, yes it has it's flaws, there is no such thing as a perfect form of government, and many of these Communist countries aren't even communist, their Socialist, big difference.

 

Please, attacking it for that reason is incredibly funny and shows the train of thought of Americans towards communism hasn't changed one bit since McCarthy's witch trials in the 50s.

Autism is a sickening insult, it shows the average intelligence of people using it.

 

 

Now, you're referring to the people who use it as an insult, right?  I just want to be sure you weren't insulting people with Autism.

 

I have a few more opinions.

 

-"Futurama" should have stayed cancelled.  The characters became unlikable, the jokes aren't funny anymore, they're forcing a left-wing agenda, and half the jokes are pop-culture references that shouldn't even be relevant in that time period anymore.

 

-It seems that the only people who know anything about Autism are the people who have it and the people related to the people who have it.

 

-There are some anime where the dub is better than the sub.  To the people who whine about the voices not sounding exactly like the Japanese voices, then let's see you do better.  No, really.  Do you think voice acting is that easy?

 

-"Road to Ninja" is the worst "Naruto" movie.

[LazuriteDreams* 136]

Okey dokey loki

Mary sue is an overused word.

Sonic's the Hedgehog new voice is fine.

Ponies are awesome, but I prefer if people don't spam it on every site/fan community

I like the really cute/moe anime shows

I don't think Skrillex is overrated (eeyup there I said it,come at me bros/sis)

I like the swimming anime

I liked Twilicorn

I don't listen to Alex S that much (okay I enjoyed his nyancat and party with pinkie remixes but that's about it)

I think One direction is alright

I ship FlashLight, I think they're cute together (problem..?)

Amethyst star is one of my fave BG ponies, but not many have heard of her.

Shadow the hedgehog was a good game.

Equestria Girls was awesome.

Even though I did enjoyed some of his vids, I don't watch that much Smosh.

I still watch modern shows/cartoons

I like gamegrumps, they're hilarious

I have an interest in Lolita Fashion trends.

 

 

Wow! That was a lot...Sorry so I had so much to type xD I guess that's all.

Yes I am talking about the people who do use it as an insult, because so far almost all the people who have used it as an insult have no idea what Autism is, they assume it's a mental disorder that makes people dumb, when in reality, it isn't. I'm autistic, but I'm not really affected by it.

@@Clarity:
 
"I think the entire "ZOMG I lost faith in humanity" is stupid, and in many cases, pure hypocrisy. Lol wut, so humanity is "losing stability" and all you do is complain about it."
 
Yet, you and your glowing beams of positivity are really helping anything?

 
"Bronies completely deserve the bad reputation they get."
 
Speak for yourself buddy, not for the entire community. There are far worse communities around, and as you should know the internet loves to pick out tiny groups of people out of larger ones then blow their problems out of proportion.

I've got aspergers (a form of autism), it doesn't really affect me all that much to be honest, but people will try to use it against you. There are some really sick puppies out there.

Now for my own unpopular opinions:
 
-I don't see any problems with tearing down people, and publicly humiliating them. Why? because it'll help them out in the hand.
-Despite what moderators say I still believe that they do hold bias towards certain members, and I find that a lot of the time they are the biggest liars in the community.
-George Zimmerman got off, because the prosecution couldn't prove their bloody case.
-Trayvon Martin supports annoy the sh-t out of me.
-Rap music is still good, but the morons who listen to Lil' Wayne are the ones who say it sucks (because they listen to shitty music, and try to blame a whole genre).

[Vay 175]

I'm brave and I am a coward. I am intelligent and I am stupid. It is possible to be two different things in different situations. I do not believe anyone is wholly intelligent or wholly good. There are too many details and grey areas to personality to define people by a few simple traits.

 

Even the people who think themselves clever are stupid a lot of the time. But on the other hand the people who are down on themselves have good moments too. It depends on perspective.

[~Chaotic Eddie~ 479]

More opinions.

 

I dislike Twilight x Flash Sentry shipping.

On a similar note, I think Sunset Shimmer x Flash Sentry shipping would work quite well.

 

I can also appreciate a wide variety of music. I like, among other genres, metal, dubstep, techno, rock and chiptune.

Maybe that's how you can allow yourself to look past the stereotypes of Communism, seeing something worthwhile. I could be wrong, of course.

Pandas are douche bags; I don't care if they go extinct. It seems like many people only pity them because they're cute and helpless to recover from the damage caused by human actions. The truth is that they are too pathetic to adapt, and too stubborn to even reproduce.

You're really going to try comparing autism, a disability, to Communism, a political ideology? really? you may want to rethink your comparison.

I'm sorry that my statement wasn't clear. What I'm trying to say is that so many people are blinded by stereotypes that they often fail to even try to understand something. I just figured that maybe it's different for people who think differently -- in this case, autistic.

 

Sorry if I offended.

Also, I don't consider Autism a disability. Same for ADHD, which I have. I've noticed that ADHD has it's ups and downs. Sure, I can't manage in a controlled environment like school very well, at least not without help; but I've had massive bursts of energy with learning and reading. My ADHD helps me multi-task. ADHD, of course, isn't the subject matter -- I just thought it would be a helpful alternative perspective, so you might get a better grasp of what I'm trying to say.

Well considering the fact that there has never been a true Communist government in existence, and people always think it's something that represses freedoms (when in reality, it's the uber-socialist part that does so).

 

Heck North Korea isn't even Communist, more of just a collection of nutjobs. Same with many "communist" governments.

[failedALIAS 28]

So, back to the 'pandas being douche bags' thing? I think if we herded them all up and sent them to the moon, our(my) problem would be solved.

Depending upon the severity (see the Autism Spectrum) you don't think not being able to talk, or barely being able to talk isn't going to be something that hinders people? ya... no.

 

People who are on the higher end of the spectrum are (like me) are called high functioning, because we are able to do most things without too many issues. Those who are on the lower end of the spectrum are the ones who cannot talk, and are severely [mentally] handicapped. An example of one on the lower end of the spectrum is say a 20 year old male who has the intelligence/mentality of a 10 year old kid.

 

The point I'm getting at is regardless of how severe it is or isn't it still is a disability whether you like it or not.
