Topics: opinions
Have an unpopular opinion that you are usually afraid to share? Post it here...
No one is allowed to yell at them or insult them etc. Just read, disagree in your own head, and post your own unpopular opinion!
[Bigoted opinions not allowed!]
Here's one of mine:
The Kinks were better than The Beatles.
User Comments

my opinion is people should not have opinions but dialogues -
God sucks he gave horrible tummy ache today
another unpopular opinion would be that Fox News is fair and balanced.. .compared 2 msnbc lol -
Pink Floyd was better than the Beatles & the Kinks.-
Pink Floyd is lame. lol
-
-
The Doors are the most overrated band of all time, just barely beating out Kiss. -
The Harry Potter books are badly written children's books and adults should be embarrassed about reading them.
-
Disagree

That local, regional or national accents are meant to be eradicated e.g. everybody should speak English like the upper class British and French like the Parisians etc. I've always thought it's more important to speak a language correctly.-
I have a regional accent and speak perfectly correctly thank you very much. -
@ranist22 A bloody disgusting opinion! Horrific! May a thousand toads descend on you. -
@aningeniousness and crpitt
That's exactly what I'm trying to say. Accents are normal. Why do teachers try to eradicate them? If you have a regional accent that's great! Speaking a language correctly is more important than concentrating on the accent. Got it? I know I'm not always clear ...maybe my accent gets in the way! -
/takes away the thousand toads.........
-
Thanks, Crpitt!
-
hey hey hey! take note of the 'no attack' rule, people!
-
A thousand toads on you instead for creating a negative thread, shame on ya.
-
It's not my fault that everyone's unpopular opinions happen to be negative!
-
That's your opinion.
-
?
-
What does "correctly" mean?
The way God speaks it? -
If there is a God and he speaks...DrJay! How did you think up of that one? I was actually thinking of grammar including local colourful slang (figure out that one!)I was very unpopular with my teachers, by the way.

I truly believe there has to be a limit for both wealth and poverty. A person should be allowed to enrich only up to a certain point, and conversely, no one should be left to hit rock-bottom poverty before we feel compelled to do something. If this would mean taking from the rich and giving it away to the poor, so be it.-
Maximum wage instead of minimum wage?
Strangely enough, the Icelandic Commonwealth had precisely that.

If this would mean taking from the rich and giving it away to the poor, so be it.
By the way, that's not an unpopular opinion. -
I've often thought this, as well. When I voice it, however, I'm labelled a "socialist," as though there's something wrong with that.
-
OK, start socialism at home. Share your private belongings with those less fortunate than yourself in a communal way.
This includes your bathroom and your kitchen. -
flamingpoodle; You say that like I haven't. I've actually taken homeless people in & helped them get on their feet. Being anti-material, I don't have a lot of possessions & I still give to the homeless. I just gave $50 & a box of books the other day.
-
Well, you seem to be hogging an awful lot of food.
-
No, I eat very little, actually, but you wouldn't know that, would you? Keep tossing out those misguided statements.
-
My opinion is not popular?
Read the topic and weep. -
Poodle, stop being a prick
-
You base your opinion that I am a prick on unsubstantiated claims.
Hence, you are being a bigot. -
I'm not being a bigot, you're being a troll.
-
Seems like a good idea to me.
Interesting how those that fight for Capitalism are those who are so far less than rich.
I'm sure even Rich people think this is a good idea, but they would never want you to know it. lol
Doesn't seem right that 5% of the population controls 95% of the wealth.
*Sigh
I'm movin to Iceland. -
I agree. The limit could be even obscenely high, but there could be a limit. -
That is commonly known as theft.
-
-
You won't go blind if you play with yourself.-
FALSE
-
So THAT'S why you're always wearing those dark sunglasses....
-
Ummm No
-
-
I don't really think Paul McCartney on his own is any good.-
Well said!
-
I've wanted to say that aloud for some time. I feel so much better now.
-
I totally agree.
-
Yeah ever since Mills left he has been crap, she was the real talent.
-
I'm inclined to think he started sucking after the Revolver album, though he still had his moments.
I mean "When I'm 64," "Your Mother Should Know," "Hello Goodbye," "Honey Pie"....puke....
I actually like "Maybe I'm Amazed," but that's it for solo Paul.

I don't understand Cameron Diaz' appeal. -
Men are not and cannot be witches.
Witches are women.
Men can be mages or sorcerers or mystics or sages or whatever but not witches.
*No they're not warlocks either, warlock is a derogatory term meaning "oath breaker".-
Not so much an opinion, that, as a statement of what you believe to be a fact.
-
When I followed a pagan path, "sorcerer" was a very negative term. Maybe that was just our community, though.
-
What about a gay man? -
Men can be Warlocks.
Edit:
Fine - Be that way.
-
-
-
Sadly, that's not an uncommon view at all.
-
-
Seinfeld isn't funny.
-
That one's a fact.
-
-
A cardboard cut-out of Clive Owen would probably be more dynamic on screen than the real thing.
-
As much as I love Clive Owen, that's funny
-
-
It's OK to spank (not beat) your child as a last or final resort punishment or deterrent in a dangerous situation.
-
My tarot cards are amazingly accurate -
Morecombe and Wise never made me laugh
Oh, I could do loads of these, I could have a thread on my own, LOL -
Brad Pitt is average-looking
-
yes! finally someone who agrees with me!
-
-
I never did like the Beatles or Elvis (please don't kill me!)-
I never liked the Beatles either. Elvis, I can understand. Beatles? Meh.
-
-
I have no idea even where to begin with this one. -
Chunky is better than smooth.-
I hope you're referring to peanut butter.
-
Well, I am having visions of Peter Pan. (I'm wearing my Tinkerbell pajama pants.)
I'm going back to bed; the Sinus medication has made me loopy. -
Do you use sinus medication a lot?..............

My unpopular opinion: An opinion (being "a personal belief or judgement that is not founded on proof or certainty") is necessarily biased. For example, if you don't find Seinfield funny (I don't either), it's going to be very hard to prove that it's not a biased opinion.
Opinion is bigotry.-
your definition of bigotry is wrong. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigotry
-
From your link:
A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the corresponding attitude or mindset. Bigot is often used as a pejorative term to describe a person who is obstinately devoted to prejudices, especially when these views are either challenged, or proven to be false or not universally applicable or acceptable.
So an opinion would only be bigotry if you refuse to change your opinion when your opinion is proven wrong? -
re-read that. It says that bigotry is the intolerance of others, not having a different opinion.
-
Again,
A bigot is a person who is intolerant of opinions, lifestyles or identities differing from his or her own, and bigotry is the corresponding attitude or mindset. Bigot is often used as a pejorative term to describe a person who is obstinately devoted to prejudices, especially when these views are either challenged, or proven to be false or not universally applicable or acceptable.
Intolerance of others is not wide enough to cover your definition. Intolerance of others, their opinions, their lifestyles or identities that is unsubstantiated is considered as bigotry according to Wikipedia.
It follows that if you were intolerant of others, their lifestyles or identities but if you base your intolerance on proven claims, you aren't being a bigot. Meaning, intolerance is not the essence of bigotry, but the mindset or attitude of intolerance when it is not based on verified claims is.
In that case, you are correct. Opinion can't necessarily be bigotry, because your opinion may be correct or incorrect regardless of what you base it on. Yet bigotry is necessarily opinion. Also, opinion is a personal belief that is not founded on proof or certainty. Viewed in this light, opinion is bigotry, since by this definition opinion is unsubstantiated, just like bigotry. -
You just jump into every conversation arse-first, don't you?
-
Well, the topic is unpopular opinion.
-
-
I didn't cry when Dianna died.
-
that's not an opinion...
-
-
I'm a fat woman & I'm cool with that.
-
That should be a popular one
-
-
That's not an opinion either..
-
crpitt; It should, but it doesn't seem to be. Too many fat people buy into the social pressure that says they must diet, they must lose weight, that they're disgusting & worthless unless they're thin. Sure, maybe there are health issues, but it's my choice, right? I'd rather live a shorter length of time with the enjoyment of cheesecake & such than a longer time in carrot world. That's just me.
-
flamingpoodle; I'll rephrase it; It's okay to be fat.
-
Here's another one of my unpopular opinions: fat people are disgusting.
-
Guys...we're getting into an unpleasant place. no need for it to get nasty.
-
I didn't start it & actually "fat people are disgusting" is a popular opinion.
-
Alright kids, I don't care who started it, I'm finishing it!
-
SiuilARuin; It doesn't bother me, honestly. If it did I wouldn't really be okay with myself, right?
-
Yeah, but it might offend somebody... I wanted this to be a light-hearted conversation with mostly pop-culture based opinions...not arseholes being mean to people!
-
I apologise for holding unpopular opinions. I was misinformed by the topic, my apologies.
-
Based on what I've seen, you're a lovely woman, Lana...however much you might weigh....
-
-
huh?
-
heres one that's clearly unpopular.
SIZE IS IRELLEVANT.
p.s I'm not fat though. -
OOOOOOOOO!!!! NO NO,, NO WAY!!~!~! -
Electric guitars are annoying.-
I agree with that in most cases.
-
-
Birdsong isn't beautiful...it's irritating.
-
Popcorn is overrated.
-
I believe Techno (electronica) music is better than most rap music!
I don't think that's bigoted! -
99% of my opinions are unpopular, not enough space here to list them all
Oh wait, here's one:
Baseball is so much better than football-
BULL!!! lol
Baseball is sooo boring and lame.
B-Ball and Football are fun and exciting.
Then again, I'm not really in to sports.
HOLY CRAP! Watch Australian Football. That's a freakin free-for-all right there. It makes American sports looking boring as hell. lol -
Football is for sissies.
-
-
Wigger are a shame to entire humanity -
Fact: My earlier opinion was, in fact, just my opinion and it would be very unpopular in the majority of pagan circles.
Fact: In almost 10 years I have never heard of sorcerer being considered a derogatory term, but maybe it's just a Canadian thing lol
Opinion: Gay men are cool and if they are on the feminine side they can be witches, but not Dianics -
Tori Amos is an awesome and under-appreciated singer/songwriter.
-
Especially her first album...and the covers one, which is WAY underappreciated.
-
-
@ Dukepro25
Yes, and the Aussies do their thing without helmets, padding and all that stuff the Americans wear! -
There is no substitute for a genuine lack of preparation. This thread proves it. -
Very unpopular I'm sure but I find old people unsettling and needy. They come to my store, buy a newspaper and then hang around all day making small talk... -
I hated the film Transformers with a passion-
Extremely seconded.
-
-
i was doin' fine until you said the kinks were better than the beatles.
now i have to re enter therapy, thank you very much.
and that's not yelling.
:-) -
The Beatles, while I love at least two of them (both of whom, unfortunately, are dead), and they were certainly better than the Kinks, and "Strawberry Fields Forever" is my favorite song ever, are ludicrously overrated. I mean, when magazines do their "Best Albums Ever" lists, most of the top ten are by the Beatles, including the top three or so. Personally, I think that, while they had lots of great songs, every single one of their albums has at least a couple of songs I skip over--particularly the later ones, where it becomes incredibly clear and Lennon and McCartney don't belong in the same band anymore....
-
The Beatles were awesome, but 99% of Paul's solo work is pure rubbish.
-
-
Drug laws have ruined far more lives than drugs ever could.
-
*MMMargo gives drjay a standing O*
-
*applause*
-
-
Organized religion is more likely to make people less compassionate than more.
-
*applause*
-
Agree 100%.
-
YAY!!!!!
-
-
Kanye West, Coldplay and Dave Matthews Band are quickly killing music and creativity.
-
Sports is just another religion. Bleh. -
I'm TOW--The Other Woman. That makes me extremely unpopular with wives and lots of other women and some men, too. My opinion doesn't matter most of the time, because people usually judge me by blaming me for the affair.
-
Siuil, are you sure we can't post any insults? I'm biting my tongue on this one, big time.
-
You must be popular with other TOWS isn't it?
-
-
Some more:
I love Anne Coulter
Think brutality is necessary for humanity
&
think prostitution should be legalized-
I agree with the prostitution law. (It's legal in Finland, and it works.)
-
-
When people disagree by stating, "I have a right to my opinion."
We're not debating about your "right" to an opinion; we're debating whether your opinion is valid, fool. -
I am inclined to believe that climate change is not caused by human, but is natural. HOWEVER that does NOT mean that I would approve polluting of any kind.
-
The heavens and the earth were created in 6 days, formed in one day, has existed for billions of earth years and has many histories besides. (This view got me thrown out of several Christian groups)
-
I believe that internet people should be held accountable for what they say.
I believe that more people should be charged with treason.
I believe in the draft
I also think serial killers should be more selective
