Discussion What other unpopular belief do you hold?

[Life sucks]

Not sure what you're saying..

I agree but elaborate?

Whatever I'll say is unpopular but a part of why "life sucks"

 

[Pentobartbital]

I dip my pizza in hot sauce.

 

[Eeyore]

There are 2 genders and I don't think being gay is normal but that doesn't mean I hate them.

 

[staphaureus]

Pineapple belongs on pizza.

 

[Superfluous]

I have some very controversial views, so am a bit concerned about posting them...

Ah, sod it. I'll try to go from least to most controversial:

• Religious organisations shouldn't be tax-exempt
• Voluntary euthanasia should be available to all
• Any couple wishing to have children should require a license to do so. They should have to take a training course and pass a test before being issued the license

Nope - can't go any further. I'll just come across as too weird. I can give you a clue to one of them though: I quite liked Thanos' idea in Avengers: Infinity War.

 

[NumbItAll]

babies are not cute, not one bit

 

[Pulpit2018]

• Religious organisations shouldn't be tax-exempt
• Voluntary euthanasia should be available to all
• Any couple wishing to have children should require a license to do so. They should have to take a training course and pass a test before being issued the license

These are hardly controversial.The last one is unenforcable though.

I think 3rd wave feminism and the sexual revolution has done more harm than good for women, and that we should go back to traditional gender roles.

 

[Superfluous]

Yeah. Sorry about that. I started writing more and then bottled out.

 

[FTL.Wanderer]

To much of the world being pro-choice is in fact an unpopular opinion. Life is sacred bla bla

This got me thinking what other unpopular belief do you hold?

Is it something you care enough about that you are on/or would like to be on a forum to discuss it with like minded individuals like we do here at SS?

That humans generally aren't responsible enough to handle freedom.

 

[odette]

Recreational drugs should be legal and available by state-run stores in generic packaging, ID required.

1.Lately i'm thinking, that we live in a simulation. Some will escape, some will stay and repeat too many times. Suicide is only going to reset you.
2.Reality can be subjective and always gives you the cards, you never expect at all.
3.Mandela effect - i'm 100% sure that the heart in human body was more clearly on the left. I know it's in the middle and very little on the left, but still remember the hearts, painted on the targets when i was shooting at them, many times, years ago. Also clearly remember an old movie i watched as a kid: there were aliens coming from another dimension, exact mirrored copies of the humans in town. The only way to find these aliens was by checking their hearts position - it was on the right. So many people involved into making this movie and no one had any idea about the main part of the story - heart position in human body?
5.Still believe that it is possible to send information to the past /see the future/. It's really sad, how hard and almost impossible is to achieve and detect particles entanglement.
6.Math is subjective too. Try to connect all the math sciences in one base logic? It looks simple, but it's not. As long as we have paradoxes, math will stay subjective. My opinion only.

Having children the natural way is, apart from being disgusting & animalistic, impractical and unethical. No child must suffer because of who his parents are. People shouldn't be permitted to have children and children should be designed and raised by government agencies in artificial wombs with the implementation of eugenic gene selection. An independent council should decide how many new children will be born every month/year based on statistical population research. All children should be designed physiologically equipotent and raised under just circumstances, only differences being personality based, decided by the children themselves, and they should all be given the opportunities that they decide they want.

Children aren't pets or toys.

 

[KiraLittleOwl]

I believe that the human race should work towards its own extinction

But humans already working on it.

 

[Broken]

I like Donald Trump,that has almost got me killed a few times! but i Don't think i would be bothered discussing it.
I like a lot of conspiracy theories(some i believe most i don't),i discuss this with like minded individuals everyday.

I'm British but I also like Donald Trump. its a sad world when people take a certain stance/opinion of you because you like Trump.

 

[Elek]

Politically and economically speaking being communist is quite unpopular nowadays, even if working class income and quality of life are literally dropping.

 

[Roberto]

Batman vs Superman was a good film
Population growth should be controlled
Prostitution should be legalized
Drugs on 18+ should be legalized.
We should pay much more taxes for space I+D.
God doesn't exist. First you have to demonstrate that something exists. I don't have to demonstrate that he doesn't exist.
We should be more sincere in job interviews
Euthanasia should be legalized and serviced by the state for people who gives rational arguments.
Shops should be open half the days and maintain the earnings of the workers. More time free for people.
Politics shouldn't get paid. They should do it because they want a better world. They should have another work to earn money. And if there is too much work, add more politics.
I didn't like Aquaman. Since Ben Affleck is out of DC, DC now sucks.
Brie Larson did a perfect acting in Captain Marvel.
The SLS should be cancelled and EEUU should pay more to Space-X to develop the Starship.
I'm from Spain, but I think Donald Trump is doing a great job as the president of EEUU.
Israel & Palestine should make love together every day.
Trump and Putin should have an affair. One mad night together.

9/11 was an inside job

 

[Weeping Garbage Can]

• Children should be treated with as much respect as adults.
• Factory farming is abhorrent.
• Religion/religious views shouldn't be allowed to hold weight legally.
• Spanking/other corporeal punishment is cruel (again, if not done on an adult (i mean not sexually), most likely shouldn't be done on a child).
• Diversity of ideas is way more important than physical determiners (race, gender, age, sexuality).
• Protect free speech at all costs in public spaces (exceptions: threats).
• No involuntary confinement unless someone is in risk of physically endangering another sentient beings.
• The welfare of humans isn't more important than the welfare of other animals.
• Such words as "good" and "bad" are very basic and have a huge risk of being incorporated into dogmatic thinking.
• Most drugs and suicide need to be decriminalized (however, doctors shouldn't be forced to end patient's lives).
• The school system is in desperate need of reform (at least in the U.S.).
• Prisons should be more like reform centers. (focus more on reducing the violent/perverted tendencies, instead of simply keeping prisoners locked up, if possible).
• A lot of generic positive statements for self esteem like "you matter" and "you are perfect the way you are" are intellectually lazy and low effort (they may be true for certain situations/people, but universally, not).
• Traveling isn't for everyone and can often be very boring, or very stressful (and overall not worth it).
• Life is simply the only thing people have experienced/known: it isn't something that needs to be "conquered" or "achieved" for the sake of honor/society standards.

Sometimes, I can be a bit of a tw*t.

This may not really count though as I'm pretty sure it's not 'unpopular'

 

[littlelady774]

It's very sad, and it's much much worse here in the US. If you express your support for the president on a college campus or something, you will be called names ("nazi", "fascist", "bigot", "racist", etc etc.)
I blame the mainstream media for brainwashing and lying to the masses. They are the real traitors of this country.
Speaking on that, the results of the Russia investigation came out. There was no evidence of collusion. (Big surprise). Media still unwilling to accept it.

Same here with Brexit. I'm a dumb racist that voted to leave the EU apparently

 

[TheGoodGuy]

I don´t believe in politics

Government is just a plural dictatorship instead of 1 dictator they have a couple hundred in congress that dictates how millions of people should live their lives that is tyranny forcing other people to live by their laws and rules just because they don´t like it.

Legalize all drugs and no need for age limit

Taxes should be voluntary because without our consent it is just theft/robbery

 

[Deleted member 1496]

The vast majority of conspiracies are false though.

Some comedian had this line:

Some people say the phrase "Conspiracy Theory" was created and promoted by the government so that when you actually discover something, others will dismiss it as a Conspiracy Theory.

 

[waived]

I understand various media outlets to entirely support a particular flavor of the existing order blood in blood out, but apparently I hold a minority opinion that it was some special kind of imperial autonomic horseshit that liberal national news outlets in the US were running a Bush II gush campaign for a week or so, seemingly forgetting their previous headlines about the moral erosion of 'The Moderate Middle', and how he was an incompetent butcher adventuring into an untenable war. One of the positions from that era that I think is true is that an escalation of praxis within publicly accepted political, economic, or social poles draws itself to center to normalize its activity and condition a governed population, which is exactly what liberal media did during that week or so while juxtaposing a former butcher with a less popular or more economically chaotic present one.

 

[valentine]

I'm an antinatalist to an extent. I can't judge everyone who has kids but I think it's extremely selfish. I was conceived via IVF and that's just... so selfish. There are so many deserving kids in the system who need parents but my father threw a ton of money into having his own kid. And of course I inherited all his mental illnesses. No one asks to be born & i can't understand how someone could bring a child into this world with how horrible everything is and knowing how likely that child is to suffer. It's cruel.

 

[bluesleep]

That relationships are way too risky and therefore a waste of time. Most people don't see it, but I do, it only causes pain in the end.
