Hey Pandas, What Is Your Unpopular Opinion? (Closed)

Ever had an opinion that everyone else thinks is crazy? Share it here, minus the shame!

My unpopular opinion is that doctor assisted suicide and euthanasia should be legal. Because people with terminal illness should have the right to die with dignity and we should also be able end the suffering of people that have severe disabilities and brain impairments. What I mean by that is people who require 24/hr care to survive and have no brain function. Like for instance the case of Terry Shivo. I think making people like out there lives in severe pain is cruel and that measures should be taken to end their suffering.

Another unpopular opinion is they need to start cracking down on "news" agencies that spread misinformation and promote violence and hate. These sites and agencies have caused a massive amount of distrust and violent protest. For example many of the lone wolf mass shootings were partly the result of people being radicalized by these sites. Also there needs to be stronger measures into cracking down on preachers promoting politics from the pulpit and receiving tax payer money through the PPP loans. They pay no taxes and should not receive any tax payer help and should not preach politics as per the Johnson amendment.

Then there's the other extreme...some parents who needs to back the f down and stop doing their child's homework, asking to be notified if their child slips below a B grade, ask for their child's college recommendation letter, write a thank you note for their child, ask if I could ignore the last failed test because it is hurting their self-image, making sure I know that the reason their child isn't doing well is they just are not challenged enough... (sigh). However, the majority of parents are trying hard, being fair, and are wonderful to work with.

My unpopular opinion is that adult people should stop blaming their problems on whether other people accept and respect their gender, sexual preferences, religion, race, nationality, etc. or not, and assume full responsibility for their own actions (as well as successes and mishaps) as intelligent human beings. In other words, they should cultivate an internal locus of control.

My unpopular opinion: The idea that it is a basic human right to reproduce is flawed. We use this idea to pretend that reproduction, as a biological imperative, is somehow also a fundamental right that would be violated if everyone was not given the opportunity to have children. This is not true for any other mammal and it is not true for humans. Frankly, people who cannot afford to feed, clothe, and house their children; people who have inheritable genetic disorders; and people whose mental disorders prevent them from creating a loving environment; and etc. should not be encouraged to not have children. But instead of framing the issue in a way that would force people to take a look at whether they should reproduce and provide them with safe and affordable methods of choosing not to, we act like no one's life can be complete without children and we treat reproduction as a right. All this does is perpetuate social and medical issues.

My Unpopular Opinion:

People who claim to be 'PRO-LIFE' when they're actually only 'PRO-BIRTH'

They want to make a person - who does not want to have a child for whatever their reason - have a child, then they b*tch & moan & criticize this person-with-a-child for having a chemical dependency, or putting said child up for adoption, or applying for food assistance, or needs financial help, or whatever, yet knew all along the couldn't offer a child a 'life.'

Stop claiming 'pro-life' when 'life' is not what you care about.

If they were honest they are anti-abortion. It isn't the baby, it about life they feel they can save, such powerful people can force women to feel even worse about something nobody wants, it is often done in absolute desperation. They try to make the situation so awful, women aren't brave enough to follow through. Churches push this without looking at the bigger picture. And there is a bigger picture. How many of the men who support this have insisted a mistress to end a pregnancy? They can fly her anywhere to have a "better experience. " I asked Pro Life protesters if they understood this a package deal -- no social programs is the other half. They were shocked.

When people think of gender equality people just assume that it is about females not getting the same rights as males. But it is more than that. Men also have plenty of issues. I remember getting annoyed to the brink of crying when I was a child in primary school and a girl came up to me, instead of comforting me. Guess what. She told me that her dad told her men don't cry. I know, for a fact that that was wrong.

my other unpopular opinion is that people of childbearing age should be licensed to have kids. So many parents are in no way qualified to have that position.

My unpopular OPINION.... is that there are two genders. Male / Female, that's it. Now I will say, I really don't care if you want to switch when you're older, that's your prerogative. But what kills me is when parents allow their minor children whom haven't even gone through puberty yet do this. Let them be done growing and their hormones even out and THEN if they want to make the change, go for it. But please stop allowing your 4 year old get a VERY invasive body altering surgery. Also stop saying you identify with a friggin plastic hamster that has it's own babies. (sarcasm obviously) you have a uterus or you don't. You have male genatilia or you don't. You are not an "it" or a "Them" (them is a reference to more than one) Every time I hear the word Binary I want to ask if they are made from 0's and 1's.

First, let me say, I love dogs. I like cats too, but dogs are my favorite pet to have. However, I hate seeing how some people treat their dogs. First, I hate seeing dogs in clothes (they are born with the covering they need) and being treated like, or even better, than children. I don't like the idea of a dog sleeping in my bed. Maybe it's because I let them do their doggie thing and I I've seen the things they do --- things that come natural to them. People justify this by saying they bathe their dogs regularly--- but too much bathing is not good for their skin. Or they restrict their every movement, often working against the dog's natural instincts.

Some people feed their dog better than they feed people. They give them people food with all the wrong nutrients. Then they whine over the high vet bills when the dogs need medical care for human-type illnesses.

Some people don't put in the time to train their dog just basic socially acceptable behavior, and then throw the dog away, because of its anti-social behavior. An undisciplined owner makes for an undisciplined pet.

They are animals and would be very good at it if humans didn't try to turn them into something else to fulfill some crazy human need of theirs.

Final score:

24points

Kendra Miller 3 years ago

I agree with everything except the clothes, they like everything have a time and place. If you are going to take your dog out for a walk at -20c, it's only proper that if the dog doesn't have a thick enough coat, to give them a coat and boots. If it's for the dogs health and comfort, then it's a good thing.

I HATE professional sport, and it should be abolished. First, I am not a sporty person at all, so I just find sports very boring. I understand that some might find it interesting to follow sport. I think that if people want to play sports, that's fine. But professionally? Absolutely not. It's got to be one of the biggest wastes of money ever. In a single year, in the US alone, $100 billion was spent on sports. How is this okay? Or, every time the Olympics roll around, they build a new stadium. Every four years, a massive new stadium, that costs more than a billion dollars. Then there's how much the athletes get paid. Roger Federer's networth is $450 million just for hitting a ball over a net. While most doctors and teachers are broke. Not to mention the costs of travel, uniforms, equipment, etc. The professional sports industry is huge, and it wastes so much money! If you want to play sports for fun at your local stadium then fine, but I think the professional sport industry should not exist.

I don’t think that lying to kids about mythology figures, like Santa, is good. Parenting should never be based on lies. Kids should be able to trust their parents. Kids can still enjoy Xmas without believing in Santa, like celebrating their love for their family and sharing presents as a way to express that love.

Yes! I never believed in Santa. When I was little my parents essentially told me about the lore behind Santa and so on, but that he wasn't real. We still did things like stockings, but we always knew it was mum and dad who filled them. This never took away any enjoyment, and in hindsight I'm quite glad that I never was told about an imaginary man in a red suit by my parents, only for them to tell me later it was made up. So I definitely agree

Imagine if nobody had private cars, and the self-driving cars were almost always on the road moving people to where they wanted to go.

I acknowledge that there are bad apples, and then there are bad apples spoiling the bunch, and then there are bad apples in charge of the bunch that breeds systemic issues and an insane cycle of arrests and dehumanizing punishments....while often overlooking and even exacerbating the issues at heart. Still, I honestly believe there are mostly good, noble people who take on those roles and do honest work and want to help the community and take pride when they can actually perform a role of protection and leadership for people. I also believe they really are putting their lives at risk in doing this, and yet will be treated like enemies enough that it will make them more like enemies. I feel like neither the government not the populace is taking care of its good guys, and that's forcing and allowing more of them to become the bad guys.

Perhaps the most Unpopular Opinions ever ~ made all the more valid by the responses directed to a large swath of OPs...

1) It is entirely possible to read something on the internet that you disagree with & just scroll right on by, without responding.

*AND*

2) If a response is made, it is also entirely possible to disagree with someone without being disagreeable.

Social media are really bad for us (yea, I know I'm kinda hipocritical right now). Like, way wors than we imagine. I did quit facebook, insta etc. (I was already using them very rarely, a glimpse one or two times a day) two years ago. After a month of a withdrawal symptoms I noticed how much it altered my entire thinking and percieving reality. Finally i felt grounded, half of my anxciety was gone. After another month I noticed how my abbility to critically think and talk to people is slowly coming back to "normal".

I don't think social media are some evil conspiracy and we should fear them. We simply adjusted to this form of communication and consumption of information and it kinda crippled our way od thinking and our conversation skills.

I hate when people say: This singer/comedian... is famous because of the fans who buy their stuff. You are right BUT these people don't own you anything. If they don't want to be friendly all the time with everybody it's their right. They sell stuff you have the choice to buy or not. As your baker doesn't own you anything because of the fact you are one of his customer, the singer your are fan of is exactly the same.

I don't agreed with the 3rd wave feminist, I think that's the wave, the Uber extreme 'all men are crap' wave. Since I was born with a uterus a lot of them think I should jump on their bandwagon of 'one of us' and I don't. Do I agree with some of the feminists, yes, but stop bashing all men. Are some men mysognists, yes, but not all of them. I've met all kinds of people in my life and quite frankly the ones that scream about anything with a d**k like 'That Vegan Teacher's screams about meat consumption are the same level of toxic. Yes, things need to change but not like that.

Feminism is not man hating. Is fighting for the equality of both sexes and fixing the problems that both women and men have due to sexism. It’s basically impossible to disagree with it on principle unless you just hate people.

Mine is that we humans are rightfully damned to get screwed by each other and / or by Mother Earth (through disasters etc.) and that an upcoming extinction of humankind is unavoidable. No, I'm not a religious, old testamential person or someone who believes in something like Apocalypse, but just watching others, reading news and experiencing some really effed up s**t during "CoVid era" in particular does not give me much hope for the future (nevertheless I tell my kids to always look for the good in people, be caring, listen to others and trying to be as empathetic as possible). It hurts the most when thinking about my kids in regard of that huge pile of s**t we will leave behind for them to cope with...

Not all religions are equal. Some are actually awful, but many provide the support and assistance a community needs. The Jewish Community Centers are a perfect example. People here focus on the bad apples, the grumpy woman helping with a church event, means we should never donate to a religious organization. Is this how you judge the world? Few large organizations don't have corruption, greed, and bad apples. Unfortunately it is a part of being human. Some people control it better than others. Please judge the world equally. Instead of focusing on the individual bad examples, look at the many, many positive aspects of organized religion.

There is a lot of evidence that humans might have been polygamous (both women and men having free sex, not harems) in origin. First most primates are polygamous, chimpanzees and Bonobos are (and they are the closest to us), men’s testicles are more similar in size (proportion with body size) with polygamous mammals and we have a very small sexual dyphormism compared to animals that practice other strategies.

I firmly believe that NO politician anywhere actually understands the concept of the Protest Vote. Protest votes happen anywhere where free elections take place. For example, some voters would have voted for Mr Biden just to vote AGAINST Mr trump. In fact they would have voted for anyone just to vote against Mr Trump - They would even vote for Biden's dog if that was allowed.
If forced to accept there was ever a protest vote, they would say that it's only a tiny proportion of the vote. I believe that protest vote is always very large!

There are nearly 8 *billion* people on the planet. It's WAY past time to let Darwin have some input when people don't or won't use their brains or be responsible.
Want to ride a motorcycle with no helmet? Yup, your choice - doesn't mean the hospital has to waste time/money on you when you wreck, though. Go exploring/camping unprepared? You're on the hook for any rescue efforts. Your country or society or culture is oppressive? Stay THERE and _fix_ it, instead of running away and becoming some else's problem (you likely outnumber the troublemakers by thousands-to-one). Equality of opportunity does NOT equate to equality of RESULTS (what kind of sick, sadistic git wants to hobble someone else instead of improving themselves?)
Bottom line? If people want to be free to close, they should be held responsible for those choices; if they don't want others bossing them around, they don't get to control anyone else (particularly religions!).

In college, I started graduate school for biochemistry (with an emphasis on genetic research). Cancer runs in my family and I felt driven to try to be at the forefront of researching a cure. In one of my classes we were studying epidemiology and the Spanish Flu. Part of our discussion was how much larger the population would have been if it never occurred (and this was 12 years ago or so). As population grows, the rate of growth is exponential (this is common sense to most people). However, what most people don't consider is that because of this, as population grows, things like resource-shortages and chance of global pandemics grow exponentially as well. The more I studied the figures, the more I felt conflicted. Probability-wise, cancer predominantly affects older people (I know there are exceptions depending on type), but famine, drought, and pandemics tend to have a higher probability of being fatal to the young as well. I realized that if you could cure cancer, the majority demographic to be better off would be the elderly. This would also mean that infrastructure (like medicine, social security, and care) would become extremely taxed, and that burden would fall on younger generations. The real critical point though is that when I looked at the numbers, it seemed most likely that if you saved "X"-amount of cancer patients, it would eventually lead to a lot more deaths than "X", as well as a lower quality of life for everyone in general. I began to become convinced that if we cure cancer before we tarraform and colonize Mars, it would likely be the greatest contributing factor to the essential breakdown of society and an abrupt stagnation of tech and science development (with most resources having to be used just to slow down pollution, funding care for people who can no longer contribute to society, and finding/gathering food/water). I won't say that curing cancer is the wrong move, but I just couldn't argue it was the right move without more information or accounting for unknowns. So I quit my program, because I realized I couldn't be the person to potentially make that call. I've tried to explain my logic to people, but most don't understand, or just disagree and call me a monster. I'm not sure what's right, but I am utterly confident that the biggest issue humanity will face in the next century will be an unsustainable population, and all the complications that result from that.

Drinking milk is gross. Actually, milk is only good in cheese, baked goods, and coffee. Pretty much nothing else. I get in trouble for eating cereal dry, but the alternative... ewwww.

Chocolate takes horrible. It is bitter. What people like is the fat and the sugar. If not for the sugar, they would not like that horribly bitter terrible substance called chocolate. When you are eating chocolate, you are just covering up the shitty bitterness with the whole lot of sugar. If you like sugar so much, just say so! but no, people pretend that they like chocolate, but they would never eat it without sugar now, would they?

Your name is not important. I think people who go like "My name is Sarantulapagodopulofski and you should pronounce it as Geriandrimysuperiofskaya" are narcissistic. A name is a just a label, and if it it difficult for other to pronounce, make it simple. When people say things like, "Well, if you can learn to pronounce Chaikovsky and Michelangelo, you can pronounce Geriandrimysuperiofsky", I think to myself "When your achievement are comparable to those of Chaikovsky and Michelangelo, I am sure we will learn to pronounce it. In the meantime, I would like to call you Bob".

The death penalty should be more common and there should be no "life sentence" in prison. Death is a part of life and perhaps after death a new life will come. Regardless, "life" in prison is helping no one. To those that will argue the expense, a bullet is cheap. To those who argue of the personal growth for which life in prison gives the opportunity; I say that growth happens quickly in a time crunch, and that lots of time and no hope for anything better is more likely to foster degeneration than growth.

My unpopular opinion is that Pitbulls are terrible dogs. The reason some people think they are is because they have extremely strong instincts that are very hard for them to control. However, if they are trained properly they can be one of the sweetest breeds. I get why this is an unpopular view because lots of people don't know that it is because of instincts that they are aggressive/they want to be aggressive.

All drugs should be legal. People who choose not to do drugs, don't do it because they are illegal. They do it because they don't want to do drugs. Make all drugs legal, will reduce crime (no more fighting over gang territory) , and fatalities as they will be cut safely. Could use it like in Oregon where people dependent on Class A could be on register and be checked on and get support they need.

Books for literature classes in school are not classics. In fact, they're dumb. The only way they define depth in a work is at least one of the main characters has to die, either tragically or prematurely. Think "Where the Red Fern Grows," "Flowers for Algernon," etc. And "Lord of the Flies" was idiotic in its very premise. Leave a bunch of schoolboys alone without adult supervision and they go feral? No kidding; I saw plenty of that when the monitors on the school yard turned their attention away for one second during recess.

Oh, and Star Wars sucks. I've held that opinion since 1979.

I think Biden was the wrong choice. Now I hate Trump, really, he’s an ass. BUT comparing him to Biden and looking ahead four years I really think Trump, as crappy a president as he was, would have been better. I can really see why people would want Biden, seeing as Trump is a major douche 99% of the time, but I feel if we had stopped and really looked we would have seen that neither Biden nor Harris, while definitely quieter and less prone to Twitter, are better. I don’t know, give it four years and I might be proved wrong, please don’t come for me with fire, I just think that with two cruddy candidates, we picked the easier choice over the wiser. (I can’t blame y’all too much, four more years of trump would have been obnoxious for all of us).

People who criticize other rich people: The majority of rich people became rich by having an idea nobody else had before. Or they created their own company putting everything on it starting from nothing. So if you want what they have, create your company and work hard.

Not true. The majority of wealthy people inherited their wealth from their parents...including those who had new ideas. Example: Jeff Bezos's stepfather was an engineer for Exxon. Bill Gates's father was a prominent attorney, and his mother sat on the board of two corporations. It's much easier to make money when you have money.

Most "Christmas" traditions have nothing to do with Christ either. They were adopted from pagan solstice celebrations and others were simply cultural traditions that had nothing to do with religion and became popular only within the last century or two. Also, most religious scholars pretty much agree that Jesus wasn't actually born on December 25th, although claims of an actual date vary. Some place it as late as March. For a lot of people, it's simply a secular winter celebration meant to be celebrated w/ family and friends and continue the traditions they grew up with.
