Unpopular Opinions
I know you got 'em, what are they?
It's totally hypocritical for leftists and third-wave feminists to spend so much time bashing Christianity (which is usually good to do), and then turn around and defend Islam; an even more right-wing religion.
Vaccinations aren't as safe or effective as the media has everyone brainwashed into believing.
I strongly feel our life support system is paramount to everything else. I believe the adage "No matter what your cause it is a lost cause unless we come to grips with overpopulation." (this was repeated during the 1994 UN Conference in Cairo on population. Anything that increases a country's population, including immigration, is eventually destructive. Our attitudes should be based on policies not individuals.
If it weighs less than a 5 pounds and a cat can slap the shit out of it, it's not a dog.

Ownership of the copy right should be none-transferable but permission could be given on a one off only basis
I think people should have to take and pass a six month course on basic science as adults. At the end you sign that you agree to the terms and conditions of science. If you don’t then you can’t use anything that requires science to put together. 2. I think Christians should be forced to follow their own religion. I know there are many contradictions in the holy books, but come up with a list of rules from the book and if you are a Christian then you can be prosecuted for not following them. Watch church attendance fall like a rock. 3. I think marriage should be declared a religious contract and should be removed from all government records. Anyone can get married if they can find a priest to perform the ceremony. As for government records, when you file your tax return, one adult lists themselves as head of household and lists the others in the house. You do not need to declare your relationship with the others in the house. That is your business.
Belief in art with a capital 'A' is another form of religion and does many of the same sort of harms. It stems from the arrogance of humans who believed that they were set apart from and above the rest of the animal world, and that therefore, the creations of our hands had a special 'spiritual' worth that the doings of other animals do not. It is arrogant, speciesist, causes pollution, diminishes our ability to appreciate the natural world and is used to lend a misleading 'spiritual' authority to many dreadful ideologies and no atheist or agnostic should beleive in it.. P.S. I love all the arts, being an atheist does not mean you can not admire the church spire just not accept what it means.
I hate the way that cafes/restaurants pass soup though their blenders, and especially then put cream on top which adds nothing to the dish, today. I blame the trendy chefs who should all be made to stay in their kitchens and of the TV etc. anyway. In my day, (Grumpy old man phrase.) soup had lumps in it and texture, it was an interesting dish, and not just a boring way to get your customers to eat the leftovers.
I believe flag burning is protected political speech, it's okay to cheat at strip poker and the death penalty should be abolished, I did not support going to war in Iraq and attempting to change Afghanistan into a western style democracy was wrong. I don't believe that people waging jihad are true Muslims and Israel needs to stop oppressing the Palestinians and help them rebuild their country. I don't believe evangelical ministers who support Trump are Christians and we, men, women and transgender persons, don't need the government controlling our bodies. I hold many other unpopular views too numerous to mention here. I do believe that all people are created equal and have many more unalienable rights than are listed in the Declaration of Independence.
Heading home from work and smelling BO on the bus. Really bad BO, like I don't know what a shower is BO.
Time to overhaul the concept of "private property."
Cyclists need to get off the fucking road lmao
The US military budget is too big. In fact you could call it bloated. In 2017 it was half of all discretionary federal spending, about 600 billion dollars. Under Trump, defense spending has only increased. And also under Trump, the portion of this expenditure that is paid by the richest 1% of Americans (who own nearly 40 of all the wealth) has decreased.
We don't have enough time, and I don't think I have enough energy to debate all of it lol
