Unpopular opinions you hold

[HungLikeJesus]

+ I agree with 90% of the posts in this thread.

+ There are too many people on this planet. The worst thing that the average person can do to the environment is have another child.

+ The reason men fall asleep after sex is that it gives the woman a chance to escape (evolution at work).

+ Sex education should begin early. Just because the parents were ignorant doesn't mean that the child has to be.

+ A politician who follows the "party line" is not representing his constituents, nor his conscience*.

* I know that this is a bit of a wild assumption.

It's okay to express your pride to be white. I am proud to be white and not a member of the KKK or any other "fringe group."

The NAACP sometimes acts in the same manner as the KKK or other hate groups - hello, DISCRIMINATION is NEVER OKAY - even discrimination against white people... not cool.

Diversity is just a fancy way of saying it's okay to cut out the white kids.

The only cause that vegans succeed in promoting is the ability to be a pain in the ass.

There should be no more "Insert racial group/sex here" History Months. Those are just sad attempts to be inclusive that result in people being excluded. Why don't we have - Invention Month, Book Month, Food Month - etc. Make everyone feel included.

I think gender discrimination is a crock of crap.

If people want to hold themselves out as married, they should be held to the same standards as married people - file your taxes jointly, follow the same divorce procedures, etc. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

Welfare should be abolished. No more handouts or handups. People should be forced to get off their lazy butts and do something about it... That's the great thing about the US is that you can do that - no one is going to stop you.

But the more I look at the other posts, I relize that maybe my views on race are not all that unpopular.

March is National Frozen Food Month. If the NFRA can create Frozen Food Month, I guess that you can create Invention Month. I'll support you in that.

Having pride in the abundance/lack of melanin in your skin is as stupid and pointless as having pride in being blond, having brown eyes, the [in]ability to curl your tongue, or any other genetic trait.

It isn't stupid when everyone else is doing it...

Poor people (2. and 3. world countries) should stop getting children. Children born in civilized countries have better chances and will develop better.

I think that just the opposite is true. People in "first world" countries, like the US, have a much larger environmental impact (per capita) than do people in poorer countries. In the US, many people have their first child and suddenly need a big house and an SUV, etc. I've seen entire families in Mexico riding on one 450 CC motorcycle (kids sit on the gas tank).

So, I think that rich people should stop having kids (or adopting them from Zimbabwe). If poor people stop having kids, who's going to serve the french fries?
