Unpopular Opinion

One of my friends just started this thread on Facebook and it's been fun.

Rules are simple: Post a non-political opinion you hold that is generally unpopular. The goal is NOT to argue about them but to find common ground and kindred spirits in your bitter little hearts. For ease of communication it generally works best to post one opinion per post or at least keep opinions per post related, but is not required.

I'll start: I hate wearing yoga pants. They're not comfortable at all; they bunch up and cause wedgies.

So, I have no problem with what you say.  What am I supposed to do?  I guess we've already found common ground.

I think I will like this thread.

My name, Apathy, was not chosen to represent me as a person because I'm not an angsty teen anymore who has to show people who I am. It was chosen because it was cool.

That's interesting because when I was younger I realized my intellect was better than adults in some cases. I eventually fell out of that but it was interesting to see.

I think kids are as acute or as gullible as anyone in judging adults.

Animals have such different agendas tp us and are very influenced by their early experience and training.

(But my sister had a "racial" buck rabbit - it hated black men from the first one it saw. Seeing a terrified six foot labourer chased round the garden by a big white rabbit is, er, hilarious! But bunny got locked up 'til the job was done and sis bought them a case of beer.)

Did anyone else think of the scene from Monty Python and the Holy Grail? :grin:

As far as Brazilians go, I'm apparently atypical because I don't follow football/soccer. I'm not fanatical like some people who get their favourite team symbols tattooed. I didn't watch a single game of the disaster that was the 2014 World Cup (I live in one of the cities that hosted the event and found the whole ordeal to be a huge inconvenience). I simply find the sport boring in every way. 


:headshake:

I'm weird.

I don't think I'm typical either but I suspect no one is and if they seem so I'm probably missing the nuances.
Some have the urge to agglomerate, some are more at ease being separate, some fault in their upbringing.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

I think you are perfectly normal, xSP!

There was a certain World Cup where I actually watched a game - only time in my life.

Though Phinx is more interesting than that.

You say it's simple but I require clarification.
Are you supposed to reply to the previous post or would I be free to comment on yoga pants even now?
I suppose I'll apologise for punching Gloucester in the stomach if I have to.
Take my advice, don't listen to me.

Only three things are needed for survival: food, water and the barest level of comfort.

(Notie I said "survival", "enjoyment" is a whole other thing.)

I agree, food, water and a 5 star luxury resort will do the trick.

Only if you want to. They are, afterall, unpopular opinions. Forcing response seems like it would bring unneeded negativity.
