Unpopular Opinions 2.0

[TheGodDamnMaster]

Please no more Nazi debates and Illuminati conspiracy theories.

 

More of mine:

 

-Atheists who spout "don't force your religion on me" are annoying. The atheist community is just as guilty on that front.

-Harry Potter is boring.

-Xbox 360 is the best console this gen.

-PC gaming has been, and probably always will be the best choice.

-Kotaku is trash.

-I enjoy IGN Video Reviews.

-Memes need to die. It pains me to say it, but they haven't been the same since they've gone mainstream.

-Reddit > 4chan

-I have yet to find any anime that can entertain me more than the Dragon Ball series.

No matter what you do you have to earn my respect.

[Chukkles]

Unpopular opinian. There is no need for this thread as we already have an "Unpopular opinian" thread.

I don't think you needed another topic just because the other children weren't playing your game the right way.

 

Although I suppose now you could rename the first one to 'Nazi & Illuminati Chat'.

[Ryda King]

-I like the Resident Evil movies.

-Football, Baseball, Nascar, Basketball and Hockey are boring.

-I hate movie theaters.

-Black Friday is despicable bullshlt. (Not sure if I already said this one)

-90's music was awesome, as were the 90's.

-Family Guy sucks.

-I still like Green Day.

-I support gay rights and marriage.

-I support freedom of religion (despite being an atheist).

-I don't hate Muslims.

-Dunkin Donuts has better coffee than Starbucks.

- emotions, not unlike like flavors, colors, and vigor, dampen with age. Enjoy them while they are so poignant. Ignoring or repressing them is crime against your own experience.

 

- Modern Family is a pox on network comedy.

 

- Language evolves. Words like 'swagger' will develop and transform over time. Complaining about this is pointless and stupid. It's like the Irish forgetting that potatoes were a foreign import - just because something is 'just so' today, does not mean it always was or always will be.

 

- religious organizations should be taxed like everything else. Especially television preachers who bilk millions out of dimwitted followers.

 

- hitting, hurting, or maiming a person for any reason other than self defense or the defense of another should be considered a grave offense. Punching someone out for calling you a name should land you with jail time.

 

- people who endorse celebrities despite their heinous acts are also endorsing their heinous acts. If you buy Chris Brown's music, you're an asshole. There's grey area here but for the purposes of this thread... Don't support dickheads lest ye be proub to call yourself one as well.

 

- Tupac wasn't all that special. Kimd of pains me to say it, but neither was John Lennon.

 

- Metafiction isn't inherently cool. It's simply another rhetorical device.

I love those sh*tty sitcoms like King of Queens and that Pizza Place show thingy.

and how I met your mother, you would probably like that

love those too

 

i love kevin james in king of queens

 

anyway my unpopular opin-ee-own

and it will definitely be unpopular here

GTA III is not that special. Yes at the time it was great, and it is still a good good game for me, but given what GTA evolved into, with VC, SA and IV, III just seems pale, if you take it as itself as the game itself, obviously putting aside the fact it kick-started GT franchise and sandbox gaming but I am talking solely and purely from the game standpoint

 

another one about gaming - games have got easier. I have always thought this and it seems obvious but the point really got hammered home when I was on Tomb Raider I a few weeks back wondering "where the f*ck do I put this key?" now on modern day games you will usually get a marker on screen and if not that the protaganist will say something useful and the camera may pan to where you want to go if it is in the same room. in those older games you actually have to look for things and actually, at some points use your head

and you know what that took from the experience? NOTHING.

 

one that may annoy northerners here in the UK: GREGGS is average at best

I do love it, however I wouldn't put it in the same league as King of Queens and other 90's sitcoms, I can't get enough of them.

I see what you mean, but I do disagree. Even looking at it from a gameplay and features perspective and ignoring its heritage I believe it is a great game with a solid storyline. In fact it'd probably have to be my third favourite GTA, only behind the legends: IV and SA.

 

[MIKON8ERISBACK]

The atheists get on my nerves too. They say I shouldn't force my religion in their face (which I literally never do because I seldom talk about religion in the first place), yet they go out of their way to make sure that their viewpoints are not only preached and heard by everyone, but accepted.

 

It's one of the worst forms of hypocrisy I can think of besides the green freaks who throw their old (working or repairable) appliances into landfills so they can buy some peices of sh*t that will last less than three years that have the label "Environmentally Friendly" or "Green" on it despite the fact that most Chinese manufacturing plants are far worse than American manufacturing plants when it comes to pollution.

You do realise this is UNpopular opinions and not things that most people would agree on?

 

- Millions of people love the avengers

- Second was a fair point

- Obviously people like Coca-Cola if it's one of the biggest brands in the world

- Fair

- Literally billions of people like beer

- Wellll......

- What is this?

- I don't even...

[EscoLehGo]

- I think humanity needs a purge of some kind that will leave only the smartest and fittest alive.

- Pop music really isn't as bad as people make it out to be.

- Focus on customer service has made American consumers the fattest, most self entitled pricks on the planet.

- There are circumstances where it's perfectly ok for a man to hit a woman (although this is becoming more popular)

- People aren't special "just because" and everyone isn't equal

5th for me, behind IV SA VC VCS (in that order)

 

the driving seems wooden, the shooting to me seems alapse compared to future GTAs in the III era, still a very good game but they really improved the formula over time for me

at the time it was a great game for me... loved it, and it by no means gets by just on nostalgia points - yes sonic I am looking square at you you little blue rat, and mario as well you fat bastard, I see you diding in that crack-pipe. but after 10 years of many many great games I would say imo that GTA III has sunk down the barrel from "great" to "good"

unfortunately most the games in that decade are piss-easy

 

that said it probably still makes my top 50, maybe 25. maybe. I'll need to think on that one

 

oh the guy below me reminded me of my other point

JFK was not a great president

he was not bad but he does not deserve this collective blowjob he receives from most people just because he was assassinated 2 years into his term, I guess if Bush had been offed in 2003 then you would be saying what a great man he was and how he was and how he was a great president.

I second that by adding "The Beatles" to the list.

Not all atheists are like that. They're like any group - you'll have some members who decide to go the extra mile to push their views on everyone, much to the annoyance of the general public.

 

I myself am an atheist, but I have no intention on spouting the word of the FSM and telling people what to believe. I'm all for the policy of "to each their own." The only time I'll get in someone's face about religion is if they're challenging my beliefs (or lack thereof, rather) or calling me down for being an atheist (which is quite rare).

Pretty much all of the newer episodes of COPS are absolute sh*t. Most of the crimes are domestic violence, what ever happened to drug smuggling and high-speed chases?

[lil weasel]

• 'New' topics of the same subject matter as 'Old' topics don't make much sense. All that happens is the same 'old' stuff is recycled into the 'new' one.

 

• A real annoyance is the people who have “Superior Intelligence” demanding that the “Ordinary Person” must always have to prove what they 'believe'. And, that 'proof'* must meet some SI standard. But, presenting arguments is futile as there is never any 'proof' that will be accepted by the SI unless the OP decides to agree with SI.

 

When said SI isn't successful in converting the OP it then becomes necessary for the SI to begin abusive language to show how the OP doesn't have a right to an opinion (i.e. the view somebody takes about an issue, especially when it is based solely on personal judgment). Therefore not all Opinion is necessarily debatable.

It's almost as annoying as making idiotic statements that are completely baseless and without merit, using sources that completely contradict them to back them up, then throwing their toys out of the pram, claiming greater knowledge through "superior" life experience, insulting labelling anyone who disagrees as "ignorant" and then coming on another thread to complain about it, and by doing so completely missing the point despite having it explained to them several times.

 

But thank you for acknowledging my "superior intelligence".

• Rockstar make nearly every other video game seem lifeless, soulless and sub-par. They are the only reason gaming has a future. (Originally posted by Linki)

 

• I instantly have a lower opinion of a person if they think C.Ronaldo is even half as good as Messi.

 

• I think Digimon is way, way better than Pokemon, but Pokemon is good, at least back in the day.

 

• I really hate first person shooters, most if not all of them.

 

• GTA IV is better than San Andreas.

 

• I don't think Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black or One Direction are the worst singers/bands of the 2000s, sure they are bad but that title belongs to

.

 

• I f*cking hate Star Wars, Star Trek and all that crap.

 

• Naruto is overrated.

 

• Jim Carrey is a genius.

 

• I don't hate Slamman.

 

• I don't like the Fallout series.

 

• I don't hate muslims.

 

• I instantly have a lower opinion of a person if they prefer multiplayer over singleplayer.

 

- hitting, hurting, or maiming a person for any reason other than self defense or the defense of another should be considered a grave offense. Punching someone out for calling you a name should land you with jail time.

Agree.

[Clem Fandango]

Is it an unpopular opinion that I think people shouldn't express opinions that they aren't willing or able to defend? It seems to be from reading this forum, people make ridiculous claims and then when someone corrects them-or even just asks for evidence-they bitch about having their "right to an opinion" attacked. Your opinion ceases to be personal when you express it in public, on a forum where people can read it and come to agree with it. People should try actually learning from being corrected rather than bending over backwards to filter it out and bitching about being bullied when it's clear to any objective observer that that is not what's happening.

[xChaos Reigns]

A few more of mine

 

Justin Bieber > Dubstep

Modern rap/hip hop (2008+) is brilliant (as is rap/hip hop before it).

I instantly think lower of a country that does not have a (fair) death penalty in place.

I instantly think lower of a person that disagrees with abortion and/or gay marriage.

^ Don't you think it's hypocritical to condemn killing and at the same time sentence people to death? We also can't even prove that people are responsible for their actions, we just assume they are.

[Sgt. Foley]

I love those sh*tty sitcoms like King of Queens and that Pizza Place show thingy.

- Gangnam Style is f*cking stupid as hell

[xChaos Reigns]

No I do not. In my opinion - If you commit a crime so abhorrent such as murder, raping a child etc then you have relinquished your right to live. You no longer deserve a place on this planet. If they pass a psych test and are not found to be insane then that's all the proof I need. This is one of those discussions (such as religion) that doesn't have one absolute and solid consensus or answer, it can just keep going round and round.

[DEALUX]

The fact is that justice assumes that we are responsible for our actions but I have yet to see anyone prove that to be right. What if people are conditioned to do what they do? Even if it is their own fault, I still don't think killing is right. Would you kill someone for doing those things you mentioned if you had the option? Wouldn't you feel bad afterwards?

[xChaos Reigns]

Would you kill someone for doing those things you mentioned if you had the option? Wouldn't you feel bad afterwards?

Do you mean vigilante style or being responsible for turning on the electric chair/lethal injection? Either way yes I would happily do it and no I wouldn't feel bad at all.
