The Unpopular Opinions Thread

Recommended Posts

Kingdom Hearts is a terrible series and it should never have been created.

Said no one ever... (hope this hasn't already been done).

 

No, kidding, honest. Now seriously.

 

Microsoft should be forced to make their Xbox Live free.

And

Stupid people should stop giving Microsoft their money for Xbox Live.

Like really!

Time for a really unpopular opinion on my part.

 

As someone who grew up in a socialist democracy, I strongly disagree and feel capitalism is morally wrong. I hate how it's basically a system that says, "You're on your own. You fend for yourself," because not everyone can do that. Everyone needs help. And as someone who has academic and neurological difficulties, it's also a very personal issue. I can't fend for myself, I always need help in something. And then I think of one my American friends, who is depressed and needs medical help but can't get it, of kids like me with disabilities and aren't getting the medical and academic help they need. It makes me angry because no one deserves that.And I hate how I've been accused of being anti-American when I state my opinion about it. It's not America I have a problem with, it's the political system it runs on.

But you're Canadian.  It's not like you have to like America or anything :D

 

I wish America's pharmaceuticals was more like Canada's.  And there are many other people who think the same since many people import their medications from Canada.

People who are atheists or w/e shouldn't be offended when someone says "Merry Christmas" to them. Yes, it's based on religion, but no one ever means to insult by saying merry Christmas. It's just a phrase wishing someone well. It drives me nuts when people get offended and are like "UM I'M ATHEIST DON'T YOU DARE TELL ME MERRY CHRISTMAS."

 

I'm atheist and I don't understand how "Merry Christmas" should offend me, unless I take my views to butthurt levels.  You'd think that since atheists don't involve themselves with religion that they wouldn't care about the phrase's religious connotations one way or the other, but meh.

I don't see why anyone would be offended for hearing merry Christmas.. You can celebrate it without thinking it as birth of Jesus, you don't need to think it like that. 

Also, how can everyone in the world know that you are even atheist so I don't see why anyone would get mad at someone for saying 'merry Christmas'

Im atheist and I say "Merry Christmas" to everyone. It was actually a pagan holiday, not the birth of jesus till later on.

Warning: If you're very religious and strongly have religious beliefs you may not want to read this and anyone who is reading this PLEASE don't hate me D: But I've been thinking about this a lot for many many manyyyy months and so here we go. What if the ancient drawings, and books, etc were all like fiction. Like on Ancient Aliens they show drawings, what if the people who drew them we're like us and were thinking "What if there were other creatures or humans like us up there in the stars?" so they drew images imagining what they could be and such. And In books like The Bible (Please don't hate me) It was all a fictional story and people thought it was real and believed in it, and the original author whoever that was could of thought "They believe in it, I may as well let them, its bringing them all together in friendship" and he may of thought "It could be real who knows, maybe an invisible man way up there told me to do it, he delivered me the thoughts to write this." In writings by some people like the one guy who wrote about the end of the world and 'Weird flying things in the sky' aka Planes that are going to crash and create a massacre, what if it was fiction, and we thought "Well it all happened, so this prophecy must be real!" but really it was a guys imagination. And the drawings of aliens from Egypt we thought could be real so we thought there must be aliens that landed on earth! Who Knows? Many things we know could be just a fictional story. This is just my opinion on that kind of stuff and I know I think widely and everyone I know doesn't think like me really, but hey for all you know I could be right! Who knows. I could even be wrong. But please just no arguing about this and no hating me D:

I don't believe those two Australian radio hosts should be blamed for that woman that committed suicide in England over that ridiculous prank phone call, and I believe the media the taking this whole story WAAAY out of proportion. It's ridiculous.

 

And I also think Nutella is gross.

I believe that England and the Royals ( just manly the Royals ) should be blamed for it. Why take it so damn seriously ? They put pressure on the Nurse. The Australians didn't, they had no idea. England should stop taking the Royals so seriously and the Royals themselves should stop taking themselves so seriously. The people who did the prank in Aussie are now heartbroken and in tears and are doing something to donate to the Nurse who committed suicide's family. The royals ? What did they do ? " Oh we feel sorry for her ". No tears, no nothing. 

 

It's like the Royals believe that they are Gods. So somebody leaked out personal information about somebody famous that. happens. all. the. fire-trucking. time.

 

 

I agree with you that the Australians shouldn't be blamed. People make jokes about the Royals all the time. The Simpsons comes to mind with the Queen watching TV over a dinner-tray. And they are really sorry about it, unlike the Royals who are sounding like they really don't really care.

Little thing you said bothered me: There is no one author to the Bible. It was many different authors who each wrote different books that were combined into the Bible. They've done writing style studies and that sort of thing, and scientists are pretty sure that it was written by a lot of different people, not one original author.

 

Sorry just had to point that out xDalso I love the show Ancient Aliens
