What is your most controversial opinion?

What is the one opinion you have that you would say is the most controversial? Don't be afraid - doesn't matter how unconstitutional, unpopular, whatever, that's what makes it fun. If you're feeling frisky, tell us why!

I believe people should have to apply to have children.

SergeantSunshine_reused

Whew couldn't agree with you more there.

I think that soda should not be allowed and junk food limited on food stamps. Sad when I worked as cashier and people would buy 5-10 boxes of hostess snacks at one time along with cases of soda (saw one gal get 9 cases once), chips, fried foods, and such. I want the world to be a healthier place! Very unrealistic I know.

Don't kill me please lol

Most controversial: There are no saints or altruism. Everyone's actions at all times are done out of self-interest, whether they know it or not. Even Mother Teresa.

Least controversial: Don't f--k with bears.

I believe everyone is equal and should be treated as equals. I don't believe in special rights and priveliges for different groups of people. At least not by our government. If you want to make allowances for someone personally, that is your privilege and right.

I don't beileive you should be given special consideration for a job, because you are gay, black, handicapped, ex-serviceman. Everyone should apply - the most qualified gets the job.

I don't believe you should get grants, loans, etc. because you are some form of minority or come from a single parent home.

I am no more special than you and you are no more special than me. If you make bad decisions, live with the consequences. I have; I did.

I think dwarf tossing should be an olympic sport.

I would run for President of the U.S. on a platform of legalized weed, prostitution and renting the state of Montana to the Jews so they could leave Israel.

I don't anticipate a huge number of votes.

You might not get the majority of votes, but you certainly wouldn't be the worst candidate running.

Amen to ALMOST all opinions so far therefore I felt the need to join in! Hi everyone!

I believe you should not be allowed to own a dog if you are going to tie it out in the backyard.

I believe in eating meat and hunting.

I believe guns do not kill people, people kill people.

Oh wait.. you said opinion not opinions... I got carried away.

CasperO

I believe that having a religion is like having genitalia.

It's fine to have it, and it's fine to enjoy it and to be proud of it.

But for g-d's sake don't be waving it around out in public, and don't try to shove it down other people's throats.

You receive Welfare = you get drug tested.

TheRoadDog

You receive Welfare = you get drug tested.

I'll go you one better. You need welfare...GET A JOB! You can't afford your lifestyle...SCALE IT BACK! You shouldn't have kids, get married, etc. until you have reached that point in you life that you can take care of yourself and them.

Ok, I have another. If your mommy and daddy sent your pampered *kitten* off to a good 4 year college - you don't get to lecture anybody about "Bootstraps".


You guys know there are 5 applicants for every job right now, right? Lots and lots of very good, decent, hardworking people are having trouble nowadays. And most of them didn't sign some stupid subprime mortgage.

What is the one opinion you have that you would say is the most controversial? Don't be afraid - doesn't matter how unconstitutional, unpopular, whatever, that's what makes it fun.

I believe that Jesus is Lord, Savior, and the one true way to connect with God.

~~~Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”~~~ John 14:6-7

...yep that's definitely my most controversial opinion... Especially since I don't prescribe for the "it's true for me but not for you" mentality. Now, I don't go bashing people over the head and say "YOU'RE WRONGGGGGG!!!! aaaahhhhhh!!!" ...BUT since you asked, I figured I would be honest. My most controversial opinion/belief/whatever is that Jesus is real, he died and rose again, and that he offers salvation to everyone who confesses and believes. :flowerforyou:

You might want to try the GOP ticket this year. You might be surprised to find that you're more popular than any of the idiots they've already put up. :laugh:

Agreed!

You guys know there are 5 applicants for every job right now, right? Lots and lots of very good, decent, hardworking people are having trouble nowadays. And most of them didn't sign some stupid subprime mortgage.

Also, keep in mind that that's for EVERY job. The lower you go in qualifications, the more applicants you get. If there is a job opening for a lawyer a high school graduate isn't going to bother to apply. Only lawyers who passed that state's bar will apply. I wanted to hire a file clerk for a 10 hour/week position last tax season. I received over 1000 applications. It was insane! The average number of applicants for a job that doesn't require specialized education/expertise is actually closer to 200.

Grimmerick

I believe if you are a serial rapist you should be castrated, same for pedophiles.

Drug Test for welfare, and if you are on it you don't get name brand foods and no junk only healthy stuff. If you hate it work hard to get off of it and then you can have your junk, if you are really looking for a job then you'll want to be drug free and nice and healthy so you can get it

Casey Anthony should have been convicted..............I don't care that they didn't produce the right kind of evidence in the right way it was frickin obvious and everyone knows it.

Congress and politicians should not have the benefits and healthcare and retirement packages that they do, they should get what everyone else does. (I don't think thats very controversial though)

If you abuse animals(I am talking serious and very real abuse here) and are ever caught you should 1) go to jail for a very very very long time (I really hate people that prey on innocents) and 2)Never be allowed to own even a goldfish ever again and if you do you go back to jail for even longer.

Factory farming the way we do it should absolutely be illegal, If you want to eat meat thats all well and good but don't make the animals miserable and suffer just so you can stuff your face with a cheaper more easily produced piece of meat.

I believe that America can not be beaten on the battle field, but we lost the war on terror because are citizens are chicken **** and have decided to trade their civil liberties for the illusion of security. We defeat the Facists, Soviets, Imperialists, all to crumble because 4,000 goat herders in the caves of Pakistan/afghanistan scare us. What an emarrassment. We went from a nation who said "Give me Liberty or Give me Death!" to allowing the TSA to molest our grandmothers and children.

BuffyEat2Live

Okay, you asked for it:

Assuming that absolutely no one on death row is innocent (big stretch)-

Instead of the death penalty, we should test products and medical treatments on death row inmates instead of animals. Some would die in the process, so the pro-death penalty people would get their way. But most would just suffer.

kapeluza

People who have a low income or who are near extreme poverty should not be allowed to have more than a certain number of children.

People who sell baby formula and food, obtained from government assistance, for a profit, should be prosecuted with a heavy fine and hefty jail time.

Less controversial: legalize gambling in Texas.

adrian_indy

I do not repect the wisdom of older people simply because they are old. Whole nations in a mess and the teenagerd didn't do it. If you are young and dumb, chances are you will grow into an old idiot.

Marig0ld

I am sorry, but the public sector does NOT NEED UNIONS! Especially for white collar jobs! I work in the public sector and you would not believe some of the whiny lazy entitlement wh*res I have to work wtih.

I'm seriously crushing on you right now! :laugh: I couldn't agree more. We are appalled at the idea of blowing up a house with a civillian inside who is hiding enemy terrorists but then we turn around a beat and pepper spray old people and because we don't agree with them we're OK with that. It's sick. We have to send in tens of thousands of our ground troops (never get into a land war in Asia!) instead of just dropping bombs and being done with it because we might hurt someone. So instead we send in our troops to be hurt. I'm sympathetic to the innocent civillians who get hurt but really, if Canada decided to declare war on Southerners and bomb areas with a heavy population of sweet tea drinkers I'd be headed to another state faster than you can say "Pop, ay"

Absolutely! I have no problem with people who are down on their luck getting a hand up with welfare, food stamps, etc. I do have a problem with crack heads getting food stams and using them to buy Cheetos and Twinkies. Fruits/veggies, meat, dairy, breads/cereals/grains are fine. I'm not even a stickler on things like canned veggies or white bread or things like that. But complete junk food, soda, etc shouldn't be allowed. Basically, food stamps should work much the way WIC does.

Bahet

Dang it all people, stop coming up with things I agree with but forgot to mention! :laugh:

This one is probably my most controversial opinion -- people on welfare should have to have some form or temporary birth control that is relatively fool proof such as the Depo shot, IUD, Norplant, etc. I wish there was something like those for me because the should have to have it too. If you do have another baby on welfare, your benefits don't increase either.

Marig0ld

Schools should hand out birth control pills like candy.

I think the best contraceptive is anal.

Actually I'm only a bit of a libertarian. I think they go too far with their ideaology. I only support Ron Paul because the other GOP candidates are so distasteful to me. I wouldn't vote for him in an election.

I don't believe in prayer. I don't understand the point or purpose. The Christian God of the bible is believed to be omniscient, therefore I view prayer as begging God to change his mind, since basically the outcome is already fixed. And so if he does change his mind and your prayers are answered, that to me is a little like giving in to a child who begs for candy in the store. And if your prayers are NOT answered? Does that mean your God is "mean" b/c you didn't get your candy?

macpatti

Assuming that some people would already have figured out that I'm pro-life, I'll leave that one alone.

So, I'll go with: Leave Michael Vick the heck alone already, PETA. He did bad. He was punished. He served his time. This is where he gets a second chance. If he screws up again, that's different. He deserves to be allowed to continue his career and recieve fair pay, regardless of what his past crimes are.
