Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

[Ye We Can]

Cars (2006) and Drive (2011) were both good films.

In what world is saying drive is a good movie an unpopular take?

[America Needs R'hllor]

Neither fascism nor communism killed anyone. Fascists and communists did.

I don't see how that's an unpopular opinion. It's undeniably true.

Everyone always blames the ideology and not the ideologues.

I think if your ideology literally requires killing people for it to be implement, it kind of makes sense to give it at least some of the blame.

Yeah, and when an ideology requires someone to take away people's basic human rights, you can very well see it as illegitimate. Also, it just so happens that all fascist and communist countries were iron-handed dictatorships, so yeah, I believe the ideology can definitely be blamed along with the actual humans who practice it.

Societal acceptance of any sex outside in a long-term relationship that is clearly headed for marriage makes rape and sexual assault inevitable and impossible to prevent.  If any of the MeToo people really cared about stopping sexual assault, they would work to end acceptance of all sex that would have been unacceptable to society before the sexual revolution.

This is the stupidest thing I've ever read here, and that's really saying something.

The Office is EXTREMELY overrated.

Nobody who wouldn't have otherwise killed someone anyway ever killed someone after watching a violent movie or playing a violent game.

It actually completely bombed at the box office because people were expecting a dumb action movie with explosives. You know, one of those car-chase-porn films win no plot?

[All Along The Watchtower]

Richard Nixon was no worse a person than anyone in the Kennedy family.

(paging Sanchez. )

Uh, no? It was a modest hit that made back many times its budget.

The Office Breaking Bad is EXTREMELY overrated.

(paging Sanchez. )

I wouldn't say anyone in the Kennedy family. Bobby was a pretty good guy. I'd argue Nixon was a better person than Ted Kennedy though.

You're right this isn't a popular opinion, but I would probably agree with it.  Were it not for the way that JFK authorized Bobby to illegally wiretap Nixon and his other political opponents (including Martin Luther King), it's possible that Watergate might never have happened.  Certainly not if Nixon had beaten Kennedy in 1960.  LBJ also authorized illegal surveillance on opponents.

(And before you correct me and say that MLK or his family supported Kennedy in 1960, please know that I realize this.  When I refer to him as an opponent of Kennedy, I mean it in the sense that Kennedy dragged his feet on civil rights legislation until the March on Washington, because he didn't want to alienate the segregationist wing of the Democratic party.)

Finding women breastfeeding babies sexually arousing does not indicate any sexual interest in children, even if that's the only thing you really find sexually interesting. I do not speak from personal experience here.

[Reaganfan]

The Office is EXTREMELY overrated.

Agree. I couldn't make it through one episode.

Boone, DeKalb, and Kendall Counties should be grouped into the Collar Counties, even though they lack a border connection with Cook County.

What are you smoking? Those three, with the possible exception of Kendall, are full of corn fields and are nothing like the collar counties.

[Oldiesfreak1854]

Sharecropping was not the same as slavery.

Nixon was a good president, with the exception of Watergate.

The 1980s were not a conservative decade.

George W. Bush is not stupid.

The Republican party is not inherently racist.

America is a center-left country.

[TPIG]

I'm sad to see Paul Ryan retire...

[Not a Partisan Hack ( ͡~ ͜ʖ ͡°)]

I’m A person who is left of center who finds political incorrectness rather amusing to hear.

I don’t think american culture is the reason american racism still exists. Racism is psychologically hardwired into are brain.

Fascism is rather a nationalistic ideology then what society paints it as a authoritarian ideology. (I’ve read about it a bit recently)

The founding fathers would be considered terrorists if they tried to declare independence today.

Feminists are just spoiled women in modern society who think they can do it alone do to the surplus of goods in society.

Conservatives give you the middle finger once your unaborted fetus leaves your body and let you manage the hospital bill yourself.

I know that we have more Representation on television, yet divisiveness keeps going up.

I’m going to compare a president to Hitler, and that his Andrew Jackson, he was the provocator that allowed legislation for the extermination of a ethnic group (native Americans that is)

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

Assad is still the good guy.

Antz is better than A Bug's Life

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

Antz is better than A Bug's Life

wow.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

It's Nancy Pelosi, not Hillary, who's the most important American female political leader of our times.

[RINO Tom]

Antz is better than A Bug's Life

wow.

I'll actually agree with that one ... I happened to see it first, LOL.

[Lord Admirale]

James Comey is a scumbag opportunist and I'm disappointed in my party for suddenly worshiping him.

[Oswald Acted Alone, You Kook]

Texarkana has terrible taste in women. The skinny white girl he had in his sig on April Fool's day was too small for me, though.
