Hot, Bad & Unpopular Takes

Bagel first suggests fhtang, as a pit owner, is a terrible person and declares he'd like her dog to be euthanized. Then he starts acting like a victim because she didn't take kindly to this.

This poster is a terrible person.

What did I do to so upset you?

If it is pointing out that Ted Cruz will be re-elected, this is merely seeking truth from facts, which one would think, given the American left's embrace of the neo-Maoist idea of being a "reality-based community," would be popular on the left.

And for the record, I think your moral positions towards animals are admiral, and unlike some posters, I don't want to eat you. You have to at least give me credit for that.

It's amazing some people still fall for that.

Usable organs should be harvested from the deceased with no regard to muh family wishes.

My local school district needs budget cuts.

Agreed. If they couldn't prepare you for this forum they don't need more money to waste.

House of Cards was a mediocre series, artificially propped by the media hype. It did start off promisingly, but inevitably turned into a total crap. Even our blandest posters know more about how political process really works than the show's writers.

I’d argue that even the first season was crap, but Corey Stoll gave such a phenomenal performance that he elevated the series and that after he was gone, the flaws which were always there simply became more obvious.

Good point.

I admit I do have some affinity toward season one, because they at least tried to stay true to a source material, the BBC series. Yet the fundamental flaw here was the difference between British and American systems of governments. It's relatively easy to change the PM under the former, while the whole elaborate plot "I'm pissed at being passed over as SoS/I recruit a Congressman to run for Governor/I cause his implosion/Convince the VP to resign, because he'd give up being one heartbet away from the Oval because of muh hurt fellings/Pray that I'd be picked as the new VP out of dozens of possibilities/I arrange for the President's downfall out" was just implausible. But not as ridiculous as the subsquent MUH DARK SHADOWY CONSPIRACY CRAP, the latter being being what utterly ruined another promising show, "Scandal", too.
