Unpopular Opinions.

acidskiffle

Probably been done before but without getting too extreme,do you have any opinions most people you know seem to disagree with?
I happen to think Bono is a sound lad.

Mod note: last time a thread like this was made a lot of people were banned.
If your opinion is too extreme you probably shouldn't post it.

Its the ambition for young hormonal teens who have never lived outside of their home/ with the parents.

I wouldn't say it makes you a better or more interesting person but its an experience, everyone thrives toward past the age of 16.

You may say that you wouldn't want to travel again for the rest of your life, but if you had never done it before you would feel completely different about it.

That is probably true, as a young hormonal and adventurous teen and tween, I did my bit of emigration and travel. I enjoyed it to an extent but now I couldn't be arsed.

I will hop on a plane again, but I do not want to see the world. I have a recent travel ambition to walk or cycle the camino de Santiago but that will be more for the achievement then the travel aspect of that trip. But I think that is more a 40 thing, midlife crisis etc.

I don't see what's wrong with liking things that are mainstream. If something you like is mainstream (Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Jonas Brothers etc) like it anyways... don't just flow with the unpopular opinion because you think it makes you seem cooler...

"The Catcher in the Rye" is an overrated pile of sh1t.

Only reason it has lasted is that Mark Chapman was apparently reading it when he missed Yoko Ono shot John Lennon.

Music is still good, you are just getting old and nostalgia makes music seem better than it is.

Not one tune written in the past 20 years will go down as an all time classic.
Smells Like Teen Spirit & One were the last 2 of note & it's been garbage since.

Everyone's ambition seems to be "travel" I have done a bit, I do hope to see the Antarctic someday. But in general I hate travel, I don't believe it broadens your horizons or makes you a more interesting or better person, I think you see more of a countries culture on TV then the sanitised tourist regions people actually travel to and as for foreign cuisine give me what i am use to anyday.

If somehow i could not travel again for the rest of my life I wouldn't be that bothered.

I don't quite like harry potter... I don't see what all the hype is about tbh

I was dragged to see one by a girl once. It sucked. The special effects were second rate and the story had holes all over it.

And to everyone who says it's because I didn't read the books. They're children's books. No matter how you try to explain it, you're a grown adult who's reading a kids book.

Irish chipper chips are, on average, very poor.

I want mine golden and crispy. I dont mind waiting. Just dont serve me that anaemic looking soggy garbage.

A chip should be golden brown, crispy on the outside and fluffy on in the inside.

Too many people believe the Irish state is their own personal atm.

The sense of entitlement in this country is mental.

"Minority rights" groups in this country are one of the only sectors of the economy that are booming.

This is some A-grade stuff.

Original too.

Pat Kenny is the most talented man in RTÉ.

It's true he is overpaid and since a lot of them are contractors they should get a take it or leave it lowball offer.
Sure where are they going to go?
However that's popular so back to unpopular

I like Pat Kenny on radio and TV and people repeat "plank" as if they are witty yet they don't even check his work and make up their own mind.

If you can't stand him that's perfectly fine, if you never ever check his stuff then why are you commenting on the quality or lack of quality?

He's a good broadcast journalist, very informed with a concise, generally unbiased delivery, but as a light entertainment presenter... just dreadful. Scared to bits of straying from the question cards, of relaxing and being chatty, of anything unpredictable (e.g. the Toy Show - cringe) and overall too serious, clumsy whenever trying to be humorous. Just in serious journo mode all the time. Guess it's not his fault though that he was offered TLLS and Kenny Live.

Irish Manchester United and Liverpool supporters referring to themselves as "we" when talking about the club they support and calling the other clubs Irish fans "manc/scouse bastids" are pathetic.

Oh and it really pisses me off when they sing the clubs songs the learned on YouTube with a Scouse or Mancunian accent.

Absolute clowns.

I dont recall any of these people who have crazy mortgage repayments and no job ever saying "hey maybe I wont be able to afford these rediculous prices,I better not get credit I cant afford , every day an economnist is on the radio saying the bubble will burst"

Rediculous indeed...

I know reading isn't your thing, but try having a look at what he posted.

He didn't say some, or a few, or some homeowners.

He said everyone.

Which is utterly moronic stupidity.

Its also an utterly moronic opinion to hold because not only is it demonstrably false, it also allows the real guilty parties to get away free

Never voted for those scum. It's just the truth. Everyone got greedy. Everyone demanded more and more free stuff from the govt. Everyone demanded more cheapr credit. Everyone demanded a house, car, etc. Somewhere along the chain, everyone was demanding, and it all led to where we are now. To suggest otherwise, is to live in denial.

Yes, I benefitted from the boom, free education, grants, etc. Thankfully I have a job now, so I am paying my way. The bottom line is this, the banks did so much lending, and people owe much, and yet, only one party is at fault. It's crazy talk. Like I said, most people played a part, not all, but the majority of people voted FF and/or borrowed too much and/or did not save any of their earnings. Blood on lots of peoples hands.

As I said, the mantra of the eFFers.

Incidentally, the eFFers never had a majority of people voting for them.

I ignored the whole Kony video thing. Maybe one day I'll overcome my laziness and click the vid but until then meh . We spend our lives bombarded daily with new messages appealing for this and that and each one guaranteed to give you a heart attack if you take it seriously but promoted probably by sociopaths who make a profit out of your concern. It all becomes a desensitized blur in the end.

I just thought everyone who fell for that crap was a either a brain dead 16 year old, or a retard.

Will be an unpopular opinion but i think people were absolutely mad buying houses for a crazy price and living outside their means. How some people thought that they were great getting a house but paying an absolute fortune for it i dont know.

I think everyone knows the rest so i wont continue
