Unpopular opinions you hold

guns kill people. no guns = no people to shoot them.

Girls should receive a 3 year contraceptive implant at the age of 13 which (helps to) prevent them becoming pregnant at least until they have completed basic education

Increasing the amount of school leavers in higher education does not lead to a better educated populace – it merely leads to increased personal debt and devalues the experience of true scholars

People are inherently selfish

The degree to which the majority of men enjoy a woman’s company is directly related to her appearance

People are completely molded by society.

No, because it doesn't fit the parameters of the opening post's conditions as an Unpopular Opinion.

Partial credit to footfootfoot and Undertoad for being having the "right answer", despite failing the "show your work" section. :p

And the boys should have reversible vasectomies too, if they're smart.

It should be illegal to administer antibiotics to livestock, even if they are sick. Overuse of antibiotics is leading to resistant strains of germs. Each and every use of antibiotics around the world leads to this problem, so antibiotics should be reserved for humans only to slow the spread of resistant germs.

Since they aren't expanding it in other ways, I think they should remove all the seats in Metro, our local subway system. You would be able to fit more people in each car that way.

I think they should refrain from broadcasting sports on TV. I don't want to be seeing that crap. Get rid of daytime talk shows and reality shows too. Put adult ed classes on TV in their place. Maybe something on electronics. I've always wanted to pick that up.

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.

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?

[piercehawkeye45]

Rich people have stopped having kids. In most first world countries the population growth is negative.

If you live in a poor country then you need more children to survive with expecting a few to die on the way. If you want to slow population growth you have to give third world countries freedom, education, and money.

Eugenics is not necessarily a bad idea.

Capital punishment is not a tool used by civilized societies.

"Glitter" was a decent movie.
