Unpopular opinions V8 Flat IS NOTHING - General

I like eating pickles out of the jar

Not sure if that's an unpopular or an uncommon opinion. [editline]3rd September 2017[/editline] Fuck my automerge, uh [editline]3rd September 2017[/editline] I don't like competitive things, be it video games, sports, or challenges at work. I'd much rather cooperate with everyone for a better result.

[QUOTE=gk99;52644373]I hate to break it to you, but when you say you're grouping in a bunch of people whose biggest problem is ignorance. Those are the ones I was referencing. You felt it acceptable to compare the KKK to people who read political philosophy, so I don't see any issue with my comparison. Yeah, it's a big fucked up issue starting at the top, let me know when the full-on nation-wide violent rebellion starts. As a standard ordinary citizen living in Oklahoma all I can do is go "look guys trump is bad" and "I fucking told you so" because our system of government isn't pushing these dipshits out of positions of power any time soon and this state will [I]never[/I] go democrat. We're gonna have to agree to disagree, because unlike you, I'm not condoning violence against the non-violent.

That's not what's happening here. This isn't what-aboutism, this is literally "people on this side of the fence are violent pieces of shit and also people on the other side of the fence are violent pieces of shit" because it's [I]true.[/I][/QUOTE] If you still support Trump at this point you are either mentally handicapped or just plain racist. Probably both.

[QUOTE=Clovis;52642936] lets not forget the person making this argument is actually someone with white skin mind you!!! i then point out the fact she has white skin, then she comes up with the most bullshit mix race she possibly can. its very obvious to me that she's literally in denial about being her own race purely because she's been in these fucking echo chambers of white guilt, white apologists where left leaning people make you feel like a horrible person if youre white and/or cis and/or straight and/or male [/QUOTE] Up until this there were some legitimate concerns that deal with the ultra left, namely that only white people can be racist, but right here you're actually kind of being a racist yourself. Unless you actually know what they are and fully understand what their racial background is, who are you to decide that they are "white"? Slavic people look white, and they're still thrown under the bus by pretty much everyone in the Western world because everybody hates the Russians, and the conservatives tend to pick on the Polish immigrants(In the UK). Not to mention all the racial tension within the slavic world over who's Bosnian, Serbian, or Albanian. They'll shoot eachother because of their minor racial differences. The Rwandan genocide was over minor racial differences. [QUOTE=Clovis;52642936]I'm aware i've typed a lot and half of you guys arent even going to bother reading it, but im trying to spell these things out for you with fair warning so that you dont end up leaning so left that you become so blinded and hypocritical about it[/QUOTE] Maybe if you turned it down a notch, weren't so condescending, and were a bit more fair in your assessment, then maybe more people would see your side of the story.

ginger and cinnamon are both superior to chocolate when it comes to biscuits [editline]4th September 2017[/editline] also pastries

We don't know for certain what ancestry they have, but its not slavic. This is more of a nitpick 2: the "racism" in the balkans is not because of race, its because of fundamental cultural differences that are almost entirely incompatible yet forced to lived together. Serbs are orthodox christians who historically allied themselves with the Slavic world, with heavy emphasis on tradition and repaying past grievances, serbs have a concept called "Inat" which is basically untranslatable but I found a definition that's something like "I would cut off my own nose to spite my face" meaning "I'd do literally anything, even if it ruined my life, just to get revenge." Croats are Catholic and historically allied themselves with the central european world. Bosnians are Muslim and chose to buddy up with the turks. Kosovars are Albanian, yes, but the reason why the Serbs want Kosovo is because it has many of Serbia's oldest churches and famous battle sites against the ottoman empire, (also they dont want to give up anymore of their country after Yugoslavia exploded in the 90s). You CANNOT say that the wars in the balkans were over race, you simplify too easily. 3: Here's a trick to see if someone's white: See if they are white. The entire point, the sole reason the races are divided up via skin colour is because that's all you see at first glance, are you really going to tell me that someone who's whiter than printer paper is not white because they have some miniscule percentage of african blood in them? Spoilers: Everyone on Earth has African blood, Humans are from Africa.

We can keep pretending those neo nazies rally for him are just misunderstood people tho lol Might as argue that you are not racist for supporting hitler because they are just "misinformed".

[editline]4th September 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Vodkavia;52646018]Maybe mentally handicapped wasn't the best word but he has a point, racism and its use as a tool to rile up republicans into voting for a charismatic politician is a hump, we as a country, have a lot of distance to close to get pasted to put it lightly. Trump's campaign and presidency imho is proof that not only is racism deeply influential in our politics, but tolerance of racism for the sake of political expediency is almost as bad. Despite the fact that Fox News couldn't find anyone to defend trump for downplaying a terrorist attack, very very few prominent Republicans came out to criticize him for it by name. It's obvious that Trump despite being openly bigoted is still seen as an asset to double digit percentage of people despite how that reflects on them and are either paralyzed by that catch 22, took ignorant to realize it's happening, or fully willing to accept cracking as many eggs as it takes to get their way. Like fuck man, speaker Ryan called trump's statements racist in the past, but he still kept his hands his pockets when he rose to power and isn't supporting Trump's removal from office despite saying racism is intolerable.[/QUOTE] I was never arguing against this. My entire point up until now has been that on both sides of the political spectrum there's both hateful, violent people and your average, passive people. The left isn't [I]wholly[/I] some kind of can-do-no-wrong movement of solidly good people, and the right isn't [I]wholly[/I] made up of satan-worshipping baby-sarcrificing hitler roleplayers. Unfortunately, he's convinced himself otherwise I guess and I'm done bothering trying to change that. Generalization and stereotyping of people is never a good thing, no matter how much good you think you're doing.

Antz >> Bug's Life

[QUOTE=xZippy;52648281]Antz >> Bug's Life[/QUOTE] this is just objectively wrong

[QUOTE=Bathtub;52648339]this is just objectively wrong[/QUOTE] Couldn't find the "Objectively wrong opinions" thread.

[QUOTE=Bathtub;52648339]this is just objectively wrong[/QUOTE] Outside of some jokes and the good CGI quality, A Bug's Life was pretty generic. Antz was a good movie in which I feel like the hate for it having to relate to A Bug's Life is undeserved. It's a solid 'family'( Don't you DARE let your kids see this alone) film. Disney's take on The Hunchback of Notre Dame was the ballsiest move they ever did and I think it works spectacularly in it's favor. Then again I'm a bit biased and consider it to be top top Disney film and part of my top five films of all time.

Hunchback of Notre Dame would've been 100x better with less awkward background CG and with less george costanza gargoyles [editline]5th September 2017[/editline] but its a great film

Antz is fuckin garbage imo

But with them there with the silly Tom and Jerry slapstick the illusion theory is shattered and it get's chocked off as "Disney Magic" right next to "Mom dies" and "Liar revealed plotline inserted here".[/sp] Even more unpopular is that I consider it to be better than The Lion King and The Little Mermaid.

Hellfire is the best disney song

[QUOTE=gk99;52645551]At least you're a stunning example that there's at the minimum ignorance on both sides. [/QUOTE] He lacks tact but at the very least people who still support Trump at this point are at least comfortable with most of the decisions he makes, or are holding out for specific policies while treating the stuff they find disagreeable as "collateral damage". They might think Arpaio is a scumbag and not have any real problem with Dreamers who have made a productive life for themselves in the US but if uprooting people from the only country they have ever known and pardoning a monster who once bragged about running a concentration camp in the middle of the desert is the cost of *maybe* paying less taxes in the next two years, or *maybe* being defended by a stronger military, so be it. As for mentally handicapped, I know many Trump supporters personally (county voted 58% Trump and has voted red the past 3 elections) and while I'd describe none of them as handicapped, I have observed ignorance regarding policies like healthcare, immigration, trade, etc. I disagree with Sky King's conclusions regarding the necessity of violence and I don't totally disagree with your views on left v right extremism (one of them is objectively more dangerous, and it's currently the one enjoying institutional power in the US government), but I empathize with the frustration of watching ones head of state gleefully tear down the institutions around him purely out of loathing for his far-superior predecessor and seeing the people around you act like everything is fine. [editline]5th September 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Sky King;52647350]So tell me how you can you support a guy that let Joe Aperio get away with murder and torture of minorites, telling the police that they can be as abusive as they want and not be racist? [/QUOTE] I guess the question would be if inaction makes you complicit. Would I be a racist if I don't particularly care one way or the other about a persons race, completely abhor Joe Arpaio, but still support Trump in other regards? This is why people are worried about groups like Antifa using violence against non-violent people they see as racist, or fascist, or whatever label you want to put on Trump then which can be put on everyone who supports Trump even if they aren't themselves racist or fascist.

Gamergate was a huge clusterfuck. There was so much shit that few people got the whole picture.

gamergate started out with honest intentions but quickly became this umbrella for a giant cesspool.
