Unpopular or Unorthodox views you hold.

[Imran Siddiqui]

don't f*ck anything that you wouldn't want to have a child with then... and last time I checked, women can't just stop supporting their children... legally anyways.

It's called abortion (women not being forced to support their children), and we had this discussion already on Apolyton, many times. You could try the search function.

[Japher]

hmmm...

Trix or not just for kids.

There should be no jails, just workcamps.

Kids are not cute...ever.

Nuclear power is safe.

Separation of church and state is a lie.

Listening to Erasure is not gay, but all gays like Erasure.

Woody Allen movies suck.

Canada is not that bad afterall, but France still is.

"Survivor" is the worst show ever, and I really hate how they bill themselves as the first reality based tv show.

The drinking age in the US should be 16 and the driving age should be 21, and seniors should go through annual test to prove they are still good drivers.

Drugs should be legalized and taxed the hell out of.

Smoking is not bad for you... Chain smoking is.

An apple a day does not keep the doctor away.

Cell phones are the cause of most driving accidents.

The 3 strikes law works great.

Caviar tastes like piss... or what I think piss would taste like.

The only reason not to be a vegetarian is to keep the slaughter of innocent animals a common practice to ensure the proliferation of the species.

Pro-life does not mean anti-death.

There is no need to whisper around babies.

M. Knight Samalayme (?, the "signs" dude) is highly overrated.

Male cheerleaders and airline attendants embaresses even the homosexuals.

Taco Bell has good food.

[Skanky Burns]

I actually enjoy watching Big Brother.

[Bereta_Eder]

I believe drugs are baaaaad and they should not be legalized, like ever.

[SKILORD]

I am one of the few non potheads who beleive it should be legalised.

[Bereta_Eder]

That's not unorthodox.

McDonalds food is not the worst food on the planet.

Stargate SG-1 whoops both Star Trek and Star Wars when it comes to "Best TV show with Star in it's name" competitions.

If you have to choose one religion that will follow what the Bible says literally, no matter how silly, hurtful, or odd the result, you have to choose the Jehovah's Witnesses. They take the idea of being a fool for God to its extremes.

Violence is an effective method of accomplishing certain types of goals in a wide variety of frameworks I may deplore those goals, but I can't deny the effectiveness of the method in achieving them.

Training in an abstracted field (Philosophy, Math, Literature) as an undergraduate will serve you better in your career in the long run than training in a more concrete and specialized discipline (Marketing, Computer Science, Pre-Med).

It is not possible to give an accurate model of the possible truth-values for reality with anything smaller than [0,1]^4.

The memes you leave behind are as important as the genes.

[NeOmega]

Legalize all drugs, rat poison, bleach, cold medications and cyanide.

If I want a rocket Launcher I should be allowed to have one.

I love China. I love their concept of Socialism with Chinese Characteristics. But not for America.

I felt bad when I saw people jump out of the world trade center.
I took it back when their families blackmailed the US Govt. by threatening to sue the airlines.

Truly intelligent and educated people are atheists, or at least reject the idea of a Christian God.

America is still racist.

Women like sex more than men once they have had a big O.

I prefer oral sex over sexual intercourse.

Minimum wage sucks.

Every group of people has the same percentage of as5holes, cool people sweeet people and ignoramuses.

I'd rather see a fat women have an orgasm than a "model" fake one.

Sports are fun to play, boring to watch.

Golf is an old rich man's sport.

"Dude your gettin a Dell" Steven was awesome, I'm gonna miss him.

Total Annihilation whips Starcrafts as5.

PTW is gonna be great once the new patch is released.

I hate babies.

[Sirotnikov]

The punishment for voilent crimes should get much tougher.

When psychologists and councellors don't work to quiet down voilent bullies, corporal punishment and long term imprisonment should do the trick.

If you stand a fighting chance, never succumb to bullies.

If you don't stand a fighting chance, don't be stupid.

Don't pick a fight, and attempt all options to avoid it.

Affirmative action is morally indefensible.

Diversity is a non-word used to exploit white liberal guilt.

Radical feminism and political correcness are turning all men into emasculated wimps.

Hmmm, I could get used to this.

[The Puny Celt]

Prospective parents must pass a parenthood exam before having children.

My country should not have supported independence for East Timor - the last thing this world needs is another tiny nation whose national ethos is built on religion.

Dolphins are smarter than people.

Feminism is a simplistic and logically flawed philosophy, that obtains its core argument from the nursery rhyme, "What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and all things nice. What are little boys made of..."

The Beatles are the most over-rated band ever. Their music can be easily divided into two categories: trite idiotic pop or pretension, incomprehensible concept albums.

Cameron Diaz is a great comedienne. Jerry Seinfeld, on the other hand, is not particularly funny.

Africa as much as America are the great cultural imperialists

I'm a communist

Abortion is one of the greatest things ever made during the 20th century (it seems unorthodox on this board )

Many countries (incl. US, Australia and Japan) should do like Euro countries and tell clearly the horrors they have indulged in the past, rather than boasting on how great they were 100% of the time.

Big Business should belong to a worldwide political organization, with the well-being of the people in mind.

Economical lobbying should be punished by law, as it is corruption through other means.

The US is probably the least antipathic Superpower the world has and will ever know. Future superpowers will bother far less with giving concessions to the peoples they exploit (like token democracies and rights, small part of the wealth remaining in the plundered country).

There is no such thing as war on terror. Just a group of indirectly linked wars, put in the same bag so that people agree to the whole stupidity.

An American life is worth a European or a Zimbabwean life. No more, no less.

Monotheistic religions should burn a good part of the Bibles, for they are legitimations of some ancient political order. This would make the Holy books much more respectable and atune to the ideals of a state-separated religion.

I often say the fatalities in the WTC were colateral damage in the holy war against decadence. I don't think it, but I hope it helps understand how cynical a concept "colateral damage" is.

Pol Pot is the worse tyrant ever to have scourged the Earth.

French people aren't pansies (well, it's not even an issue in France, but it seems unorthodox in 'Poly).

I've understood that "citizen of the world" can be a stupid concept when defined carelessly, now that I live abroad.

Yes, let's just stand around and watch the Indonesians massacre the local population and claim another patch of dirt for the Islamic master race.

[Seneca]

The current Labour government is competent and has its heart in the right place.

Many people go into politics for all the right reasons. Certainly more people than go into business for altruistic reasons.

The Office is the greatest program ever made on British shores.

Music really was better in the sixties.

--Democrats have absolutely no business whatsoever blaming Ralph Nader for the results of the 2000 election. Neither do they have much reason to blame GWB, Jeb Bush, Katherine Harris, or the Supreme Court. The only person truly to blame for Al Gore's loss is Al Gore.

--Driving under the influence should be punished with at least six months in jail and a two-year suspended license--on the first offense.

--Hockey is the greatest sport in the world.

--Breasts are overrated.

--Green eyes beat blue eyes every day of the week, and twice on Sundays.

--On average, brunettes are far more attractive than blondes.

--Bruce Willis is underrated as an actor.

--The first "Lord of the Rings" movie was overrated.

--For Democrats to win, they need to lean more to the left, not the right.

--George W. Bush is no less intelligent than the average American. (Read into that whatever you'd like.)

--"ER" is actually better now that it has been in 3-4 years, at least.

--"The X-Files" should have ended five years ago. That series finale was the most craptacular two hours of television I've ever seen.

--All world political leaders should be required to receive oral sex at least twice a day. Conservatives might not like this idea, but you just watch and see how quickly all armed conflict comes to a screeching halt.

--Magic Johnson, not Michael Jordan, was the best to ever play the game.

--Capitalism is, generally speaking, a good thing, but we could learn a lot from nations that have socialized certain sectors of society (ie, medicine).

--I'd rather not get into bed with slimy dictatorships like the current Pakistani junta or the house of Saud, even at the risk of not getting Al Queda. That "he may be a bastard, but he's OUR bastard" argument doesn't fly with me. Saddam Hussein was "our bastard" once. So was Osama bin Laden.

--I like feminists and affirmative action. I think everyone here who rants about them should give a long, hard thought if they'd rather be a woman and/or black.

--I think Detroit is a nice city.

--I think you ought to have serious gun education and gun licenses to own a firearm.

--I think it is pathetic that almost none of our elected representatives could find the balls to stand up and say, "You know, the court is right--'under God' doesn't belong in the Pledge of Allegiance."

--I don't think religion is a force of good in this world. Neither do I think that it is a force of evil. I just know that I'm not terribly interested in being a part of it.

--The 1997 Michigan Wolverines would have beaten the snot out of the 1997 Nebraska Cornhuskers.

--I don't think it's right that everyone here slams the French all the time, and everyone just accepts it as the truth. Probably the biggest stereotype I see on these boards.

--I'd rather have the country run by a decent, intelligent conservative than a stark-raving loonie-tunes liberal.

--I think the Founding Fathers were actually fallible human beings, who were capable of making mistakes, and often times did just that.

--I think that there are almost certainly other intelligent lifeforms in the universe, but that they are no closer to finding us than we are to finding them.

--I also think that to assume that we know everything about our ancient history is the absolute height of arrogance, and that there is at least one important civilization that we have yet to discover.

--I think "welfare-to-work" programs are abhorrent.

--I think I may have said too much.

1. I think that mainland Republicans and Democrats should kiss my hairy a**.

2. The world would be a better place if I was in charge.

3. "God" exists in more than one religion. I think God manifested himself in different aspects to suit all kinds of people.

4. The Turkey-on-Rye-with-Provolone cheese is the best sandwich in the world.

5. Finnish chicks are hot.

6. Eurasian chicks are hot also......Asian eyes with Russian body.

7. I hate Britney Spears.

8. I love spinach with butter.

9. I don't really like ice cream.

10. I want to find the right girl BEFORE any sexual intercourse.

[Kepler]

A politician who uses distinctions between his and his opponent's morality to make statements about policy is by definition either stupid or mendacious.

The Bible is equal parts handed-down ancient mythology, pure invention, revisionist history, and op-ed. It is extremely important as an influential piece of western culture and should be studied in public schools in history and literature courses.

"Life is pain, Princess. Anybody who tells you different is selling something." (Perhaps not an unorthodox or unpopular view.)

A group is capable of being as dumb as its dumbest member, but is only capable of being as smart as its median-dumbest member.

The post-structuralist idea that our words and thoughts are the only definition of reality is a sophomoric simplification of the truth that our perception of words and thoughts are the only definition of our perception of reality.

"Cogito ergo sum" proves nothing.

If the Founding Fathers were alive today, they would be overwhelmingly Liberal, except for Hamilton and John Adams who'd be a Libertarian just to be a pain in the butt.

French forces have fought valiantly, if not successfully, this entire century (and there would be no ignorant and biased Americans without France [think Yorktown]).

There can be a peaceful solution to the ME conflict.

There can be no war against terrorism, as terrorism is a concept, not an ideology.

If you as a poster discount the Geneva convention and think 'all fair in war', then you have no right to morally judge Terrorist, as they fully agree with you.

The partition of India was a mistake

Nationalism has been a force for great evil: it was the worst ideas to come out of the French Revolution.

The French Revolution was more important than the American in terms of world-wide influence of ideas.
