The one where i stated that the majority of men do not like women.

a lot of people strongly disagree.

oh that and :

there is no meaning of life. no higher purpose, nothing beyond death.

re. the 1st opinion :

oddly enough overheard on the elevator just this morning 2 guys talking about going somewhere :

'are you bringing your girlfriend'

"no - i want to have fun" (by the tone it was obvious it was not said in jest)

So, you and I both love our countries, and believe that our countries are the best...Sounds like we actually have something in common ;)

I believe that THIS would be a better example of an unpopular opinion:We all know that powder > weed.

As for me, ask me just about anything and you're bound to get an unpopular opinion :p

Europe, being a continent consisting of about 40 different countries, is indeed not "my country".

Oops, my bad...I felt that your sentiment was coming from the fact that your country was part of Europe, and that your love of Europe was reflective of your adoration for your country...Perhaps I should have said love of our 'continents', but while Canada isn't too bad, you can take Mexico from mine...I was just trying to make a comparison without quibbling over specifics :)

I believe most feminists are completely off base and that turning women into a minority, in spite of the oppression that has happened to them, is one of the biggest ideological failures of the 20th century. Calling half the world population a minority and making them a race was stupid. It only serves to make people further ignore that we are more human than we are anything else.

I believe that feminism as a whole is a stupid concept...If you want equality, stop separating yourselves into groups to make yourselves unequal so that you can demand equality.

I've always been female, I've always been equal

Agreed. Some people have money to spare and some people are massively in debt. I think it should be based on specific criteria though. People living on welfare and unemployment their whole life, or faking disabilities don't deserve the help. People who have a family and work hard to provide for them, or work super hard and get laid off could really use the help.

I'm referring to the people who make millions of dollars stomping on anybody else they can. Those people who have thousands of dollars on their person and can walk past ten homeless people without throwing them a dime. For the truly greedy, crime is karma. Lexi would be the plural I suppose. I agree that socialism tends to suck. It has not been practiced in a manner that everybody can live alright in, because it hasn't been tempered by social conscience or common sense. Ideally, we ill have a should be looking out for other human beings without the government having to shove it in people's faces. But, many rich people have decided that poor means lazy. That isn't true. There's a Russian proverb: if everybody gives a thread the naked one will have a shirt. It's just a matter of people ethically understanding that we're all in this together. I don't think people who have money buying nice things because they worked hard is bad, I think rappers having golden swimming pools while people with college degrees are living in tents is bad. If one of these negligent bastards who parades their wealth while on the news it's reported we're in a giant recession gets one of their fifty sportscars stolen, it's not a tragedy and it's a consequence of those who have not giving a shit about those who don't. I refuse to believe CEO's work 100 times harder than factory workers. And as for deserving punishment for making millions off my books (should this happen), at this level, I'm doing every damn thing I can for unpublished writers I know and if something in the works goes through, I'll be doing even more. If I had resources, I'd be making sure a lot of artists didn't go starving.

The most unpopular opinion I have seems to be the definition of words. When I correct someone on useing a word in the wrong context it is always an unpopular opinion.

People are ignorant though and think that they can adapt words how ever they want if they kind of fit the circumstance. But if thats all we need to do, why do we even bother having language. why don't we just grunt and move our hands.

So that doesn't work for me.

...people will probably, and often do, mistake it for blatant racism...but it's not, I actually don't have any personal problems with the race in question.
It goes like this.
The aboriginal community here. Most of 'em seem to pretty much hate us, fair call..well, they've got cause even though some people might say "time to move on already", but yeah, they're just a skeleton, a pathetic shadow of a race that was once great...having been "bred out", killed, and the introduction of alcohol has pretty much left maybe one in every twenty of them a viable citizen in todays world...sure, my people might've put 'em in this situation, but it's a sad one...most of 'em just live off the govt all their lives and don't even try, just becoming alcohol and abuse related statistics...they seem nothing but a walking misery...
So my unpopular opinion is:
Back in the day, my people ought to have finished the job rather than subject the remaining portion to all the bullshit they did, because what they've left behind is just...almost like a dog with cancer...

Europe is not better than North America. The EU are a load of whining arse holes who force us to abide by all of the rules to the letter whilst letting the rest of Europe see them as optional guidelines.

Both world wars were started in Europe, the soviet union still exists albeit not officially, the Euro, the french and other than the south and some parts of the far west the weather. Europe is crap.

But then there's Great Britain. How many other islands have the word "Great" in their name? The English language is widespread and two of the worlds other continents are mainly populated by the descendants of British travelers. The sun never sets on the British empire. Our history stretches far back and is long.

On the other hand, we are snooty, football hooligans, we were the face of one of the sides in both world wars, our (England) government bows down to the EU and who could forget Bono?

But still, patriotism should be something upheld by everyone. It's just a shame that in so many places in the world it is impossible to feel proud of your country.

Oh, and also I think that Black people who call each other nigger but get pissed off when a white guy says it to them are racist. If you don't want a word being said, don't say it yourself. It's a double standard and saying that one race can say something that another can't is not right.

So the fuck what. Dont watch it and shut the fuck up about it already. Granted, most of them arnt good at all. Ill also point out, alot of movies suck. That isnt exculsive to remakes by any means. Im all for being orginal, but really, who gives a shit? I mean, the orginal Halloween is probley my favorite movie.
But nothing about my life changed when Zombies version came out. And by the way, when I put the orginal in the DVD player, it still plays. From alot of the online reviews Ive read people make it sound like Rob Zombie came into thier house and recorded his version over the orginal and all the orginal copies in stores within 100 miles of thier house.

Learning should be self motivated with the goal of expanding your knowledge and passing it on to others.

I think the most logical explanation is that we did just evolve from small amoeba things. The bit that most people don't answer is how those things suddenly sparked into life. What made a tiny object suddenly have the ability to move and reproduce and grow? That is the one thing that keeps me an agnostic. Until I hear a plausible answer for that, I feel that there could very easily have been a higher power that sparked life into action and simply leant back and watched it grow.
