Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

Petition to rename this thread 'Bad Opinions'.

France should be a monarchy.

Modern Art sucks and Baroque needs to be restored to its proper glory.

The Modern World Order sucks, as it is basically an oligarchy that demeans the Holy Church for social progress.

Steve Bannon has the thumb on the average American and he's awesome.

The Shah of Iran should be restored and religious pluralism should be allowed.

The Latin Mass is really the only good mass, though a beautiful NO is good depending on the parish and the celebrant.

Here's some more:

- Late Night comics aren't even remotely funny
- New Jersey > New York
- LBJ > JFK
- I support Theresa May over Jeremy Corbyn
- A flat 20% income tax is a good idea
- We need to be stricter on illegal immigration (but I still support a path to citizenship)
- Medicare for All is a terrible idea, just model Germany's system and we'll be fine.
- I don't like how cheating has been normalized nowadays. When I'm dating someone, I'm loyal to her and I (expect) she's loyal to me.
- Smoking weed is unhealthy
- We need to remove the Clintonite and Bernout cults of the Democratic Party and start fresh. Both are extremely toxic in their own ways. Both are self-absorbed, snotty groups who just make it easier for the Republicans to govern autocratically.
- Phil Murphy will be a terrible governor, and I will vote for a Republican in 2021 over him, unless he's REALLY good. Seriously, is Murphy the best we could do when we have a Republican governor in SINGLE DIGIT approval ratings?
- I enjoy flying

There's probably a bunch I forgot to list.

Tbf these just make you sound like a clingy control freak.

This man speaks the truth.

It's an unpopular opinion to dislike Seinfeld. It's a bad opinion to call your political opponents cultists.

I call Bernouts and Clintonites cultists and everyone loses their goddamn minds.

Snowguy was making a fair critique about the nonsense you wrote about “loyalty” and how cheating is acceptable these days (what?)

But no, I was being the uncharitable c*nt. Namely because most of those are hilariously bad.

I don’t think straight-up lies count as opinions.

[Devout Centrist]

I probably shouldn't say this, but I do have a VERY unpopular opinion...
Viewing child porn should not be illegal, however obviously making or distributing it should be highly illegal as it already is.

WEW

- You can be racist to whites, saying you can’t is a tumblrite excuse for your bigotry and hatred.

Rip me

What a brave man, making such a bold statement ;(

Yeah I'm extremely interested in TexArkana's hard drive right now.

I have never, and would never, watch anything sexual involving anyone under the age of 18. I'm not attracted to children in any way either, as I like, shall we say, well developed women 😏

My point was, I like thick/curvy/chubby ladies, so obviously underage children are not in any way arousing to me. I could've handled this better though.

Kid, stop pls, you're digging yourself a deeper hole with every passing day

Unpopular opinion: most AZ users (with the exclusion of Cactus and some others) are trash. I don’t understand the issue with you, like I’ve never gone after you, yet you show up randomly and jump on my case.

Just for you, baby

[Devout Centrist]

The famous people being accused shouldn't have been fired. They should be heavily monitored as if they were in prison.

Watched by who? Isn’t this worse than being fired?

[Devout Centrist]

I'm going to beat all you cowards with this one: I think Ted Cruz has a sort of ugly-cute appeal to him. Kind of like the blondish.

I will admit he has a sort of ugly-duckling, sad eyes vibe.

[Devout Centrist]

Abortionists should receive the death penalty once abortion is illegal

I'm sorry, but this is insufficient. People who receive abortions must be included.

[Devout Centrist]

We should create two new island countries- one would be "Liberaliland" for all the authoritarian liberals who want to make anything they don't like illegal (the meat industry, circumcision, Kosher slaughter, cigarettes, pesticides, surrogacy etc), and the other would be Libertariland where anarchy would reign and the free marker would control everything.
(Mostly joking. But really, had an argument with some friends today and realized that if the world turns to this extreme authoritarian leftism in the next decades I might very well be a conservative eventually.)

That's never going to happen...

[Devout Centrist]

Societal acceptance of any sex outside in a long-term relationship that is clearly headed for marriage makes rape and sexual assault inevitable and impossible to prevent.  If any of the MeToo people really cared about stopping sexual assault, they would work to end acceptance of all sex that would have been unacceptable to society before the sexual revolution.

no

Chicago deep dish is not real pizza. That being said it's still better than New York Pizza.

Huh?

Not a fan of this man, for rather obvious reasons

[Devout Centrist]

Folks, this man believes Jacques Derrida is responsible for the decline of Western Civilization. Why are we taking him seriously?

[Devout Centrist]

The election of Trump has caused most of the red avatars' debating skills to lapse.

The attrition of left-wing posters like King, bedstuy, etc. to AAD also likely played a role here.

Why would they go there? AAD is way worse than regular Atlas. Hell, a few months ago people were messaging me on Facebook begging me to join because AAD was dying.

please don't

Why would I want to go to Atlas’s dumping ground and deal with you even more?

Thanks

JUST SAYING

[Devout Centrist]

Warren Harding was the best Republican President of the 20th century.

Better than Eisenhower and TR even (neither of whom were saints)?  Why?

His foreign policy was way better. In fact he was probably the last President to make any meaningful effort toward demilitarization. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Naval_Conference

He also wanted to end US interference in Latin America, something that both Eisenhower and Roosevelt were frankly atrocious on.

Sounds like a spineless president.

You sound like the guy that gets into fights at parties because you don’t realize that such is a show of weakness.

I've been in 7 fights in my life and all 7 were in self-defense. Good try, though. Responding to my criticism of a bad/non-interventionist foreign policy with a flawed personal attack is a classy move  

(Also, trying to start beef with me yet again is a show of weakness)

[Devout Centrist]

I actually kinda like Chick-fil-a

[Devout Centrist]

I was really hoping that we would get a big stock market crash a month before the midterms this year.

Same, Not a stock market crash but a bad recession, i’m Still hoping one happens right before 2020.

So y'all want the country to do bad just so that you can gain political points? I know that's the point of the thread, but that's horrible. You should always hope for the best for economy, your people, your leader, and your country, no matter what party is in charge.

Like every other take in this thread, they know not what they say

Also Rick Scott is the best GOP governor in the past couple decades.

Your Rick Scott fetishism is among the strangest things on this site. He's not even the best GOP governor of a state touching Florida right now, much less the best GOP governor anywhere in the past couple decades.

You tell 'em, Mr. 'Bennet or Bust'!
