Post your unpopular opinions

Where I come from, if you talk about god, people will think something's wrong with you. It's a very secular society there. People are not interested in "such things".

i would leave "those people" to god.

Yeah, unpopular opinion is always going to be relative based on culture and time period ect. Well, I guess there are some less popular statistically in terms of world view and then there are unpopular opinions relative to those around you.

I distrust most of psychology.

There I said it.

I agree with you.

I think this "real world" stuff is all a hoax, and high school never actually ended. There are still bullies, most people barely have more knowledge than a high school student, people drive like they just learned a month ago, we're still forced to do useless busy work (except it's now called "jobs"), and life is still a giant popularity contest, won by the most manipulative people with the trendiest clothes instead of being hardworking and knowledgeable.

I feel rather sorry for pedophiles than thinking that they are evil or anything like that.

You should be illegal.

I still like watching Jimmy Saville on top of the pops. I separate the man, the "image", the "persona" that is seen on tv from his personal life. I couldn't care less what he did in his personal life, He's still the only young, hip DJ the UK had prior to the pirates like Kenny Everett, Dave Lee Travis, and Tony Blackburn.

This looks fun:

-I think that a lot of the time most atheists are arrogant and simply trying to make themselves feel superior.
-I think that we should apologize to Britain, pay backtaxes owed to them fighting the French & Indian War for us, and join the Commonwealth. Y'know, like any sensible colony.
-I'm kind of a fan of the British Empire.
-Free trade for the win.
-Modern kids have no fashion sense. Blue spiky hair? Torn pants? Jeez.
-Talk is cheap. Let's work on deflating it a bit by speaking only when we have something to say. Then talk will not be cheap.
-Feminism... was not bad, but has run its course. I like being a man, thank you, don't try and make me feel bad because of it.
-Wang Chung were unappreciated musical geniuses.
-Pot should be legal. But people shouldn't smoke it. Nor should they drink. Intoxicants are unnecessary and destructive.

I agree.

I hate people who think only black people are allowed to say the n-word (apply this to any thing, person etc..). They claim it's some sort of empowerment or re-claiming. I say BS to that crap. You don't want us using the word, don't use it your self.

That and people still using slavery as an excuse and trying to make white people feel bad. Thankfully this is almost non-existant in NZ as we as a country never enslaved black people.

Of course, now i'll get a load of PC nut jobs spouting that i'm a racist, but it's easier to just ignore them.

Honestly, my opinion is that it shouldn't be used, period. It strikes me as a classless, brute force way of spreading a bit of cultural depression. After all, a kid who grows up thinking of themselves as "n****r" is going to be more likely to have low self-esteem, I would think. Rebranding the word as empowerment was a con, plain and simple.

-The Jews did not deserve Israel for having lived there some 2000 years ago. They only have a right to it because they live there now. The Arabs have equal right.
-The African-Americans do not deserve to be paid back for having been slaves, because no one who would be receiving that money was a slave. Money doesn't come for nothing.
-Too many minorities tend to use past misfortune and self-pity to maintain a state of cultural torpor by guilting whites into paying their way, and a lot of liberals eat it up. They really need to knock it off. Everyone has to stand on their own two feet.

The social welfare system should only provide enough for basic food stuffs, nothing else.

Totally. People shouldn't be able to afford utilities or healthcare if they need it. Or clothes.
They can just wear rags to a job interview if they get one.

Fair opinion, I respect your point of view, and how you've put it across in a thoughtful manner. I have no problem with the word personally.
