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.

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.'

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 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.

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.

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

Cops are the good guys. I still believe the police force needs vast, rudimentary changes, but my first reaction towards police is the same reverence that most people have towards the military. 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.

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.

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!

My unpopular opinion is that that when Bored Panda creates threads like this, shaming the OP in the comments probably shouldn’t be a thing, even if you don’t agree with the post. The description for the thread even said, “no shame”. So, maybe not cool of Bored Panda to create a thread like this where they know people are going to stir up stuff?

I mean, I think we're all a community here, and are kind to each other the majority of the time. While I think that people DO need to be more gentle with each other in the comments, I don't think this is BP's fault. And it's okay to share opinions. it's okay to disagree with people. And as long as it's respectful, it's okay to debate. Just my opinion though. Happy holidays!

I'm not sure if it is an unpopular opinion but if you look past at believing God and actually look at Christianity and how to works, it has so many flaws and loop holes that some Christians take advantage of. And as a Christian, i don't think God would agree with some of the teachings in the bible.

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!).

Absolutely no one will know what I am talking about but I think in the Moulin Rouge musical, Amber Ardolino was a better Satine than Karen Olivio. Karen is a goddess and her voice is incredible but I feel like it overpowers Aaron Tveit's voice and you cannot hear them singing together just her, which would be fine but Aaron Tveit also has the voice of an angel. Amber Ardolino doesn't have the recognition deserves either even though she was in Hamilton in the ensemble and Peggy's understudy.

They do this (I feel like, at least) because it is still 'points'. There will be "penalties", so they count all the points, even the negative amounts on comments. If they didn't count downvotes then I feel like they wouldn't include an option to downvote. Also there are some people that come just to tear people down, and downvoting is something to handle that, hence the "this comment is hidden. click to view". So I don't think they side with anyone; they are just making it fair.

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.

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.
