Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

Jfern is a quality poster.

Roundabouts are horrible ... when the drivers in them don't know how they work and how convenient they should be.

That sounds about right to me. I like the idea of them, but in practice I've always found it annoying because the few I've used (mostly in NJ and New England) were filled with people to didn't seem to understand the concept or were just bad at driving in general. A few years ago in NJ I actually had someone slow down and try to wave me into the circle.

There's one in Tally. I hate it.

I believe that black magic*, ghosts, and hauntings are real based on real-life experiences I've had and have had all my life.  I don't talk about them openly because anyone who does is instantly labeled 'crazy.'

*No, I don't practice it myself.

I believe that Satanism is a very prevalent problem. It's not being practiced by angsty goth kids - it's being practiced by the elites. Google Howard Rubin. Or Johnny Gosch if you want an example of how long this has been going on.

We've reached levels of white noise previously thought impossible.

The irony here.

In my mind, voting for a pro-choice candidate when there is a pro-life candidate in the race, makes you an accomplice to murder.  That could never be prosecuted, but that's how I feel.

I feel the same about Hillary. Anyone who voted for her out of the genuine belief that she'd be a good President as opposed to just not being Trump is by definition a very, very bad person.

Paul Simon is overrated period. He was only good with Garfunkel, the more likable half.

- You can be racist to whites, saying you can’t is a tumblrite excuse for your bigotry and hatred.

Rip me

What a brave man, making such a bold statement ;(

Unpopular opinion: most AZ users (with the exclusion of Cactus and some others) are trash. I don’t understand the issue with you, like I’ve never gone after you, yet you show up randomly and jump on my case.

I think the heat makes the Arizona posters overly aggressive. They always seem to be enraged about something.

Whereas you're a dick just because.

Even though IceSpear constantly pisses on my WV family, I still find him inherently more interesting and pleasant than you or that other I-AZ avatar. You guys need to tone it down. Or sit on a cactus. Either one.

Two music related ones:

- Folk music is the greatest supergenre of music there is
- The banjo and the mandolin are tied for best instrument ever invented

YES.

I'm going to a bluegrass fest on Friday. I'll try and get some good footage.

- Folk music is the greatest supergenre of music there is

This is a very good opinion.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

"Good billionaires" do not exist.

Another unpopular opinion: good people with a single rose emoji in their name/username do not exist.

That's not an "unpopular opinion" you clown, that's what literally everyone who doesn't have a rose emoji in their display name thinks.

Yeah I was gonna say, that is more of a simple truth.

Star Wars sucks

I am willing to die on this hill. Yes. Yes it does suck. I find Carrie Fisher the person far more entertaining, interesting, and cooler than her actual character.

- Randy Bryce shouldn’t be elected dogcatcher.

^ Terrible user right here ^

Sorry fam

I take him at his word.

This ones a doozy.

I have a severely autistic brother who went through intense therapy to learn how to do just about everything. As a result, my mother became acquainted with a number of mothers of other mentally disabled children. These women, seeing the deep bond my other brother and I have with Harry, often approached us as if we were some sort of autism whisperers or something. I always resented these minivan driving shrills.

Their kids aren’t autistic. They’re basically just a bit off. They are either cruely called or ironically call themselves “spergs.” I sympathize with their plight, I really do. They’ve done nothing wrong and are treated grotesquely. But their overprotective self-righteous parents need to quit appropriating the “spectrum” and inflating the definition of autism. I know this one woman who calls herself an “autism crusader” and sometimes winds up on the local news for her activism. She used to call my mom to vent and cry about her struggles. Her son is almost completely normal. He’s just, in George Carlin’s words, kinda goofy.

Meanwhile my brother can’t tie his own shoes and was basically ripped from our home despite my parents giving it 220%. I never demanded sympathy for my family’s situation. Respect, sure, but never sympathy. And I’m tired of having to expend it on people way more fortunate than us. I also fear it will take away from the resources allotted to those who are literally disabled.

And it’s not that we shouldn’t help those who do have Aspergers. Just don’t do it at the expense of those with DS or autism.

Assad is still the good guy.

Unfortunately, this forum appears useless unless you can relate to people with the IQ of a half-rotten tomato.

Hah, if only you tried relating to people in the real world, you'd see how much worse it actually gets XD - maybe a professional gyno exists somewhere out there though to answer your questions.

As if there was any other kind.

It was a serious and legitimate topic, despite how some may have viewed it. To be honest, I'm not going to try to post a serious topic here anymore. This forum's a f-cking joke now.

Why don’t you GTFO then?

All pizza is overrated to some varying degrees.

My Obama joke yesterday was hilarious.

All rap sucks and is incomprehensible.

Getting a double masectomy to prevent breast cancer does not make someone “brave” - going through and actually surviving breast cancer does.

Preventive mastectomies aren’t a bad thing in and of themselves of course, I just find the hype around the issue to be strange.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

I hope Bashar al-Assad finishes off the rebels soon.

All rap sucks and is incomprehensible.

Truth

"i don't understand it so it must be bad"

Nope, it just sucks.

White guys from Uber white states hate rap. Shocking.

Lol Florida is suddenly uber white?

Since when is Florida uber white???

I was talking about benburch and massguy.

Though Sanchez is a glass-closet racist so...

I’m a racist because I don’t like yelling?

EDM takes real goddamn talent to make.

of course it does.you have to know what you're doing

That’s why every self-styled DJ I’ve ever met spare for my grandma’s friend’s grandson (who has had some succcess in West Palm) is either a spoiled kid or a 30 year old who still acts like a spoiled kid.

i like fog too.pretty,lot of fun to walk through

YAS.

Anywho, my unpopular opinion for the day isn't so hot. I think a Trump/Biden or a Trump/Bernie 2020 contest is the most desirable outcome for a country that is sorely lacking in true leaders. It would mark the first time in my life that both parties nominate objectively decent candidates for the office.

But the Democrats are going to Democrat and nominate Kamala Harris or Elizabeth Warren because feelies.

Compromise is a bad thing and should be avoided unless necessary

This is silly because you make compromises every single day.

Not to mention, aren’t like 99% of compromises because you “have to” in some way?

It's ironic because AltorBoltox would have been bitching up a storm during the Tea Party led government shutdowns. Of course, the Democratic definition of compromise is "bend over and spread your cheeks."
