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.

Supporting my local football team instead of 'supporting' a foreign team like Celtic or Man Utd (from the pub usually) makes me more of a proper football fan than those who don't.

No, it makes you a proper (local team) fan.

I'd perfer to watch Barcelona than Bray Wnderers, simply because of the quality of the football I'm going to see, but I support neither team.

The main problem I have with LOI, though, is the price of the tickets.

I think the Beatles are ****e, but most people I know love them. I cant stomach them, especially Paul McCartney :mad:

Death by misadventure. What in the name of f**k is that?

Death by negligence I understand, death by a complete f**k up I understand. But death by misadventure I haven't the foggiest.....

I think taxes should be cut rather than increased, and that Ireland should get reparations from England, Fianna Fáil and the Church.

When are we going to grow up as a country and stop blaming the English for our problems

Possible unpopular opinion: I find Mary Lou McDonald quite attractive. Not sure why although it may have something to do with her position of authority.

I'm sick to death of hearing about Savita Halappanavar.

Considering it highlights how absolutely retarded this country is in relation to women's health I think it deserves the coverage it's getting.

You cant get rich being an employee throughout your life, business is the only way to rise above a certain limit and to get RICH.

That depends on your interpretation of "rich".

An accidental death due to misfortune. There's no violation of law or criminal negligence.

A good example is that of musician Terry Kath, he fired a handgun into his head at a party without realising that the weapon was loaded.

India is an absolute hell-hole with a backward primitive culture. Discrimination is rife within the medieval caste system, infanticide is common with baby girls, and they are completely uneducated regarding hygiene. Indians will happily bathe in the disease infested Ganges river, while rotten dead corpses float by. Ireland needs to boycott India until they cop-on - don't buy Indian products, don't accept Indian immigrants into this country, and discourage people from travelling there.

-Women should have to get a licence to get pregnant.
-A questionnaire covering several topics (politics, general knowledge etc.)and an IQ test should be taken before being able to vote, people who score under a certain mark should be exempt from voting.
-I'm not female, but if I found out that my child would have a severe physical or mental disability while I was pregnant I would have an abortion
-People need to be WAY more critical of Islam

Will this licence automatically implant them with a 100% successful contraceptive?

Hah. I have no idea how it would play out but I think the idea as a whole would be ideal for society.

Many of those countries gave it bad name. Hitler made it high profile, but other countries had pretty questionable practices in place.

Well the ethics of eugenics is always going to be contentious (wouldn't like to say that 10 times quickly) but yes sterilising the mentally retarded without their consent, for example, isn't very nice.

The trick is to give incentive for proving they are capable parents otherwise you get the people crying about how its their right to have children

That's an understatement. And the criteria for mentally retarded was frequently flawed with people sterilised because they were considered undesirables, whether they was were or not.

In keeping with this thread, I'm not against eugenics in general but it's certainly a thorny issue and open to abuse.

I hate when Godwin is brought up every time there's a mention of Hitler/the nazis in a thread - it's obviously relevant sometimes.

Suggesting something is bad because Hitler liked it is not one of those times.
