Post your unpopular political views

the coast is clear for more unpopular opinions

Oh dear. What have I done?

To clarify, I did not intend this to be a debate thread. I intended it to be a thread where you simply post a view you have that most people disagree with, but if you want to debate, that's fine.

I'm a regular Wikipedia editor, and a main principle othere is to comment only on content, not on the other editors. My advice to people, in order to avoid getting in a fight while debating, is to comment on the topic, not each other. If someone else attacks you, report the attack and leave it to the mods to deal with it.

in fact, if 10,000 minutes have not passed since your initial post, you can add that language in now, if you wish.

Sadly they have. And a lot more minutes have passed too.

time sure flies, don't it? and when you get to be my age, it ZOOMS. a day lasts about 16 hours now, when I was a kid it lasted about 40.

If I were President and terrorists a took nursery school hostage threating to kill every kid one kid at a time if their demands were not met and started acting on it I would still not negotiate. Everybody says they will not negotiate with terrorists but in one way or another 95 percent plus of the time they do. Even the Israelis release hundreds of prisoners for one soidier. The President should make decisions based on the interests of 300,000,000 million people not one school and thier parents.

I still say the nuclear option for destroying ISIS should be put on the table. The lead tamper of the Tsar bomba reduced fallout by 97% but that thing had a whopping 50 MEGATON yield! A 20 kiloton warhead with a neutron absorbing tamper that would reduce fallout by at least 90% would still contaminate but it's a necessary evil if ISIS/ISIL conducts a terrorist attack on civilians with nuclear and/or radiological weapons.

it would never happen , if a President did this his kids involved or not he or she would be impeached and convicted within a week if the White House is not stormed first.

I would hope my logic would overrule my emotions in such a situation but one can never be sure.

The understanding of the meaning of the old saying the "price of freedom" has been mostly forgotten. It used to mean great pain and sacrifice, now we voluntary give it freedom up for faux security.

Douglas Murray is a far-right racist. Well, I never.

There was me thinking he was a run-of-the-mill neoconservative, who isn't always right about everything. It's amazing what you learn on here.

I sometimes wonder if it's all a big con, and behind the scenes the left and right shake hands and agree to keep us underfoot. They get paid regardless of our votes.
Maybe that is why the democrats and republicans in the US are horrified at the idea of Trump and Sanders, it's a sign of defiance.

There are no Good Governments, there never have been any and there never will be any. There are only Bad Governments and Worse Governments.
