Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Here's mine...

I actually like both Hillary and Bernie...*runs*

Weak. The majority of Democrats do as well.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

who are you in love with on here Kal, besides yourself obv

Staring in the mirror covers it all, as far as I'm concerned.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I really like metal.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I really like metal.

My favorite one is titanium.

The heavier the better!

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Well, I'd rather have a pedo jacking off to a child porn instead of actually harming a real child... oh wait, to manufacture a child porn you have to exploit a real child first.

- 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 😏

URGRHGHRURGRHHGRGHRGRH

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.

Hmm...

Every time you post here you only make it worse.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I'm moving on. 

Obviously not.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I think "innocent until proven guilty" should apply to sexual harassment/abuse cases as well. I have problems with people being immediately fired/forced to step down on mere accusation. And no, I'm not talking about Harvey Weinstein-style situation, when the dome broke quote literally.

I had a problem with people calling for Franken's immediate resignation after just one accusation of grouping. Though it turned out to look very bad for Franken indeed, I still oppose such quick and definitive calls on such early stages.

It's a shame he had such awful views, because Enizgie was quite an intellectual. Why someone so intellectual would be a Nazi is beyond me.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

I can't help but admire Lee Kuen Yew.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

It's Nancy Pelosi, not Hillary, who's the most important American female political leader of our times.

Democrats only noticed Saudi war crimes in Yemen, supported by Washington, when they lost the White House.

I didn't realize this was an unpopular opinion until recently. but if I had to name something positive about slavery, it would be that without it my girlfriend's ancestors would never have been in the US and as such we wouldn't be together right now.

Part of why this opinion might be unpopular is because it is worded rather badly. This isn't "something positive about slavery". It is something positive about the fact that your girlfriend exists, and she would probably not have existed without slavery, but that does not mean slavery itself has any positive aspects.

Similarly, I would definitely not have been born if the Nazis had not taken power in Germany and subsequently annexed Austria, as the latter event led my grandfather to flee to the Netherlands and, later on, to meet my grandmother. This isn't something "positive" about Nazism or the Anschluß, though, and it would be in extraordinarily poor taste to formulate it as such.

Well, I wouldn't have been born if not for the Soviets invading from the east on September 17, 1939, forcing my great-grandpa's entire family to flee (well, let's just say the NKVD has a thick file on him) across the Bug river and settling down in Warsaw (yes, I realize the irony of them being actually safer in the Nazi-occupied zone), and subsequently remaining there, save for the immediate aftermath of the Warsaw Uprising and civilian deportations. And with the eastern frontiers being annexed by Stalin after the war there was no point of returning. Otherwise I doubt my grandfather would ever have meet my grandmother, who was from the Warsaw area.

But yes, it still would be in terrible taste for me to call the war, occupation and destruction of Warsaw in 1944 "positive developments".

Btw, speaking of being actually "safer" in the Nazi-occupied zone, it's really a weird story. My great-grandfather's mom was Jewish and facial features were clearly semitic. A very bad face to wear in a Nazi-controlled land.

Fortunately, he was originally from Poznań, which was, when he was growing up, a part of the German Empire, and thus was fluent in German. Fluent enough to pass as a native. Sometimes when random controls on the streets or arrests occures, he just approached a German in charge and started giving him a dressing-down with an Austrian accent. A dumbfounded Nazi always apologized and let him go.

It wasn't really necessary, since his kennkarte protected him from being arrested (he needed this cover due to his high position withing the Government-in-exile Delegation for Occupied Areas), but I guess he liked to troll them from time to time

The most recent Republican president who was not a racist was Dwight D Eisenhower.

What about pre-Obama for Democrats?  And you really think that Eisenhower - a man born in Texas in 1890 - was a less racist human than Gerald Ford or George W. Bush?  Like, honestly?  LOL.

It's not like I'd call Ike a racist, but he was rather lukewarm about pursuing the civil rights until the courts took a major step on this.

I have some sympathy for Henry Kissinger because of detente.

The idea of having a cat or dog in your house just sounds terrible.  I don't particularly get the appeal of a guinea pig, fish, or something like that, but they are at least contained.  A cat or dog is essentially a wild animal that climbs on you and barks at you when you are trying to relax.  I could never deal with that.

This is what I was expecting from a psychopath who doesn't mind women dying in childbirth.

You really should reconsider your position on abortion, because if you ever have a baby.....

Completely different (less animal-like, furry, and I won't worry they will eat me)

You've clearly never handled a baby.

He clearly doesn't know much about life in general.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Andrew Gillum will win.

Rick Scott has a 0% chance of winning in the general, and will almost certainly lose by double digits too.

Not really what this thread was meant for.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Getting elected on a racist platform and exploiting racists for votes does not necessarily mean you are a racist. (This is probably why Solid stupidly and wrongly believes that Ike was the most recent non-racist Republican president.)

It doesn't make the slightest difference if one acts out of genuine racist beliefs or just adopts them for political convenience.

In terms of his actual political accomplishments as Senator, John McCain was nowhere near his two direct Senate predecessors, Barry Goldwater and Carl Hayden, who were real Senate giants.

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

Charlie Baker is an overrated governor who has done barely anything during his first term.

Really, New England has this fetish for electing "moderate" Republican Governors who barely does anything noteworthy.

This poster is a terrible person.

We've done this like dozens of times already.

Useable organs should be harvested regardless of what a deceased's family thinks.
