[QUOTE=Stiffy360;41147631]Take a look at the Roman Empire, they had same sex marriage, and all this other stuff. It was a sin city. They killed people constantly, had constant revolts, and it was just a bloodbath. They ended up growing too fat and destroyed themselves.[/QUOTE] you mean like pretty much every empire ever? including the ones that persecuted gays?
i actually liked gta iv's driving. [sp]this probably isn't an unpopular opinion but just throwing it out there[/sp] you really can't post unpopular opinions on this thread because people will still hop on you like a pack of rabid dogs. spooky scary skeletons is dead and you are the meme-spouters you hate if you still use it.
[QUOTE=Xubs;41153481]fixed, but only fixed for ~my~ tastes, I'll probably get crucified for this post and my corpse displayed at the head honcho's manor, though[/QUOTE] Is Magic:The Gathering a trading card game?
Cheating in school is not morally wrong because the entire educational system is cold, and only cares of what number is associated with you. Therefor, the only thing that matters is WHAT your mark is, not how you got it. (Of course this is only speaking for public schools, not necessarily alternative education)
I don't like Gay Pride Parades, with all the drag queens and such. I feel like they're just treading against the message of being prideful of a Homosexual culture.
shitstorm incoming I preferred the Xbox One to the PS4 even before the DRM reversal and the only advantage of the PS4 in my eyes is the free-to-play games coming for it (you know, blacklight, planetside, warframe, those)
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;41174007]I find when transgendered people get mad at people for not calling them by what they identify themselves as to be kind of annoying sometimes. Like, yeah, I support them completely, I've got no problem with them, but when you see a transgendered male who still has a penis and looks like a man, if you slip up once and accidentally call her a man and she COMPLETELY freaks out, it's like... My brain sees you as a man, I'm sorry. I didn't mean anything by it.[/QUOTE] I agree with you when it's a legitimate accident or you otherwise had no way of knowing. But when it's someone purposefully not calling them by the correct pronoun that it's fairly understandable. Most cisgendered people would get a bit annoyed if someone kept calling them by the wrong pronoun. And for transgendered people that will be a bigger issue because it's something that matters far more to them. Also this part: [quote]who still has a penis[/quote] is fairly irrelevant honestly. A large portion of transgender people don't get SRS (sexual reassignment surgery if you don't know) and in addition to that, there are very very few situations where their genitalia should even be a relevant subject anyways.
Yeah Alice3173, it's not like they're putting their genitals all up in your face all the time. The way they deal with it in Argentina is nothing short of revolutionary, as explained by this fascinating article [URL]http://newint.org/features/2013/06/01/argentina-transgender-rights/[/URL] People can change their lawfully recognised gender whenever they want without any stigma or obligation to undergo surgery of any kind and SRS operation rates have actually fallen as a result despite being available free of charge from the state. [quote]In 2003 Néstor Kirchner was elected president. He was the first leader to take on board the situation of his country’s trans citizens. His approach has been continued by his widow, Cristina, culminating in the passage of the landmark gender law in May 2012. This makes gender reassignment surgery, paid for by the state, freely available. Changing legal and social gender ID without medical intervention has also become possible. ‘For example, if you want to call yourself Robert and be a man,’ explains Lohana, ‘you can, and you will be recognized as such.’ The law applies to anyone aged 18 and over. But under-18s are allowed to have their name changed and be recognized according to their own gender identity. The bill was not just fought for by transgender people; it was shaped by them. Tight definitions of transgender are avoided – allowing for the possibility of new identities in future – and it bears not a trace of the pathologizing language that so often surrounds the issue. Changing the law is one thing; changing mentality is an even bigger challenge.[/quote] Argentina has it's ups and downs but their approach to trans rights is really one of the most enlightened in the world and I hope it sets a precedent.
I can't stand the Game Grumps, and I'm glad that they're splitting up.
I don't care for them either, but its a bit dickish to be [I]glad[/I] they're breaking up.
Well, this [I]is[/I] the unpopular opinions thread, but I see your point. Let me elaborate, I left an important bit of information out of my post there. I'm glad because they split up because now there'll be more content from Jon. I do enjoy his reviews and whatnot, but I really don't like the way he was in Game Grumps.
Red Dead Redemption is so underrated, the game is nearly perfect in every sense. It has gone way under the radar.
Deadpool is an overrated character.
[QUOTE=junker154;41184798]Red Dead Redemption is so underrated, the game is nearly perfect in every sense. It has gone way under the radar.[/QUOTE] What? RDR was met with universal critical praise and acclaim.
[QUOTE=asteroidrules;41187091]Deadpool is an overrated character.[/QUOTE] his game is pretty ok though
The current American school system is so fucked over, that it'd be easier to restart from scratch rather than fix what's wrong with it.
I like Queen
I enjoyed the Saw movies.
Societies based around 'honour' are fucking stupid. I'm not probably not stating that well. But I mean countries where people are deeply insulted if their honour is questions or even got to such lengths as killing family members because they dishonour you. People need to stop feeling so damn special about themselves and realise they are just a big mix of chemicals and biology, with 7 billion others very similar to them, and absolutely no one gives a shit.

Let's plays are bad edit: turned it into an opinion
western feminists care less about equality and more about benefits
[QUOTE=Dogass;41190937]I like Queen[/QUOTE] Is that an unpopular opinion? I thought a lot of people liked Queen. :/
[QUOTE=Kartoffel;41191640]Is that an unpopular opinion? I thought a lot of people liked Queen. :/[/QUOTE] I dont know, i know i had a friend who didnt like queen for awhile. And i finally told him, Queen is fucking awesome. Even the muppets did bohemian rhapsody
[QUOTE=thelurker1234;41191495]Let's plays are bad edit: turned it into an opinion[/QUOTE] The vast majority of LPers are annoying and unfunny idiots in my opinion. There's only one I can tolerate on a regular basis and most of them are so bad that I can't even watch any of their videos.
Many of the threads posted in Sensationalist headlines are by people wishing to score cheap political points. I particularly hate threads where some bampot posts about a teeny tiny change which should not be a problem, that will affect transgendered people/homosexuals/women/minorities positively, but then the entire dain train and sanius squad derail it and use the thread as an excuse to fling thinly veiled insults and snarky comments at each other.
[QUOTE=Emperorconor;41192000]dain train[/QUOTE] I've heard of the Sanius squad but what is the dain train?
[QUOTE=Alice3173;41192062]I've heard of the Sanius squad but what is the dain train?[/QUOTE] A name invented for their opposition. There wasn't a term as such, but dainbramagestudios pops up in those threads.
All of North America is a shit-hole, I want to move to Scandinavia when I'm old and have more money
I genuinely prefer the old Doctor Who to the new one. Also, I dislike John Lasseter.
