Guest Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 We all have them. Some more than others. Opinions you wouldn't make public typically, but hold them quite close to your heart. What are your most controversial opinions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 -I don't believe there is such a thing as a subject matter that can't be made into a joke. If you don't like jokes that don't offend you, don't attend a comedy club. -I can't stand the soft penalties I often see for drinking and driving. Penalties for one who does so and causes a crash, should be very severe. No exceptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if I have any opinions that I wouldn't make public, but two that get me into trouble with people I generally agree with are: -While I am completely on board with fact that we are undergoing human caused climate change, I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell that we are going to stop it. -The left has a massive, utterly inexplicable blind spot when it comes to Islam.

Guest Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 -I feel that pushing for men to be more effeminate, is wrong and will have social ramifications. -Body positivity for the morbidly obese, encourages self destructive behavior. Sorry, but you just can't be healthy at 400lbs. Unless you're taller than Shaquille O'Neal, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I 100 % agree, drinking and driving causing death should be a life sentence. -Taking a life should be a life sentence, 25 years per life you take, and 25 means 25 years no time taken off for good behavior, or time already served... -Rape and child molestation should also be life sentences... -Politicians should be held accountable for their actions, be it for breaking the law, or governmental policies, such as fines or stepping down. - If the globe can not come to a consensus on climate change, then Canada should give up it's stance and concentrate on our economy. 1 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

TreeBeard Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 For this forum, it seems to be a radical opinion to believe experts over conspiracy theorists. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dialamah Posted April 25, 2023 Report Share Posted April 25, 2023 (edited) One opinion I hokd that most disagree with is that kids are more sexually aware and curious much younger than adults think. Also that kids seeing naked adults doesn't traumatize them. Edited April 25, 2023 by dialamah 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OftenWrong Posted April 26, 2023 Report Share Posted April 26, 2023 I believe we are ruled by an unseen cabal of very rich and connected people. These are the uber-elites, the 1% of the 1%. But it could be there are multiple "cabals" for lack of better word, each having their own power network and regions of interest. And now due to corporatism they are able to influence governments, in a coordinated fashion worldwide. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree, everyone knows the consequences of drinking then driving, and yet drivers make a clear decision to get into their car and drive, it will be ok this one time...no different than playing Russian roulette with a loaded gun, you don't know if this is going to be the time you kill someone... And lets be clear, dead is dead, your family member is not coming back once the drivers sentence is over, it's forever...i would agree if the victim was injured, then 15 years might be enough...Drunk driving kills more people in Canada than guns, and this country has gone over board with those restrictions... 5...Yes it should , why do we punish ourselves while a good portion of the world has stuck their heads in the sand and are free to coast along in life without consequence...Besides Canada is not very serious about climate change stop kidding yourselves, we are wasting billions of our tax dollars on measures that have shown very little results, and the stuff we are short on like our electrical grid are being over looked. not to mention solar and wind power have not been really subsidized by the government to the point it makes for a good investment by Canadians. Not to mention regardless of what the west does to combat this whole issue we will never reach our goals without the rest of the globe pitching in...we have yet to convince all Canadians that this issue is real and has consequences, or to move or invest into wind and solar... Canada has rarely been a leader in anything, and if we have not invested in ourselves kind of hard to convince others into doing the something . 1 Quote We, the willing, led by the unknowing, are doing the impossible for the ungrateful.

Hodad Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 (edited) 1. People who don't have children but say "my dogs/cats are my children" are very stupid. 2. Mothers or fathers who stay at home after their kids are in school (electively, outside of extenuating circumstances) are poor role models and incomplete people. 3. Whenever I discover that someone is religious I automatically assume they are dumber than whatever was my first impression of them. (Because, come on!) 4. Financial success is overwhelmingly more about luck/opportunity than intellect or talent or hard work. 5. There is no "right size" government but rather government should scale based on the challenges and objectives of a people. We'll eventually get to a global government. 6. TERF feminists have a point, as long as they are otherwise allies. Edited April 27, 2023 by Hodad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 -I think trans ideology as we see it today, has taken a page out of authoritarian regimes. This and woke culture in general, in the removal of conflicting ideas or ability to have constructive debates, keeping guidelines vague and constantly changing as power is consolidated, manipulation of information, the appealing to emotions or in this case, playing politics. Lastly, if all else fails, violence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 -Victimhood seemingly has taken precedent in our lives over common sense, merit and that humility behind what would keep ones mind just open enough to welcome growth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impartialobserver Posted April 27, 2023 Report Share Posted April 27, 2023 I would say the opinion that ruffles feathers on both sides is that victimhood is far too prevalent. Both sides do it.. Its quite pathetic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The honest on the victim Olympics stat sheet, gets the most concessions. I cringed the other day watching Don Lemon prior to termination, play the victim card on black history. Because of his "black hurt" another racial minority somehow needed to cowtoe to his opinion because he wasn't black. Its that mentality that is precisely why some of those environments stay the same. You're focused on your black hurt, vs black progress. Black uprising. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nationalist Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 (edited) My most controversial opinion is that the death penalty needs to be reinstated and used. For certain crimes, shooting a cop, gun fights in public, slavery, the guilty party should be hauled out behind the court immediately...and shot. No jail...no appeal...no last meal. I also think homelessness in Canada is nonsense. If a person is incapable of going to service Canada for welfare, and would rather live on the streets begging, they are mentally disabled and need to be institutionalized. Oh ya...and I think the climate crisis is mostly BS and our response to it is destructive. Edited April 28, 2023 by Nationalist Quote Its so lonely in m'saddle since m'horse died.

Guest Posted April 28, 2023 Report Share Posted April 28, 2023 -People who come here barely speaking English, getting angry at me because I can't understand them. IE at a gas station paying inside, and the clerk alerts me to a deal. "Keh vish, only 2$" in a heavy Indian accent. I say no thanks and ask to pay for the fuel only. "But only 2$ keh vish". He really insisted, so I insisted as well: "no keh vish, am good". I am about to turn black and pull the ghetto out of me if he was going to ask again, considering I have no clue what he is telling me. He looks at me like I had just said the most degrading and racist thing, ever, then points to the sign in front of me, to where I realized what he was asking me: "Oh, car wash".. I mean, you can't get mad at the lack of opportunity, if you're not focused on sharpening your skills, the language spoken included. I go to work in Japan, I need to learn Japanese. I need to learn cultural nuances. Saying this in the west is racist. We have managed to turn people into narssissists based on how we have softened language so bad it almost lost its meaning to be held accountable for anything anymore.

Oh wait, you are the overwhelming majority. Oh.... but.. but.. Or the 10-pt IQ types from rural Idaho, Nevada who say that their ways are under attack. And yet you drive out there and everything looks exactly the same today as it did in 1988. Under attack would infer someone from the outside is trying to change the land or people so why does it look exactly the same for 30+ years.

psikeyhackr Posted June 7, 2023 Report Share Posted June 7, 2023 (edited) The Conservation of Momentum is relevant to falling skyscrapers. Since every LEVEL of a skyscraper must support the weight of all LEVELS above the designers of such buildings must determine how to distribute the steel. Consider the shape of the Eiffel Tower. It is described as exponential with 10,000 tons of wrought iron. How much iron is in the bottom 50 feet compared to the top 50 feet. The Twin Towers were 35% taller with 100,000 tons of steel in each. So how could a straight down collapse be analyzed without accurate data on the distributions of steel and concrete down the structures? Try finding any "experts" discussing the need for that data in the Two Decades of The Twin Towers Affair. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZT4BXIpdIdo Edited June 7, 2023 by psikeyhackr mispelling Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
