What Is Your Most Controversial Opinion?

    Either:

    That Islam is a sick twisted religion that the west should do everything in its power to resist and push back. Very few countries are standing up to it and I agree 100% with what France, Switzerland etc have done so far to stop it contaminating their cultures.

    or

    That the world is heavily over populated and that China has the right idea with its single child policy and all other countries need to start taking responsibility for population management and eventual natural reduction.

    take you pick which you find more controversial

    1) I believe Butch cassidy and the sundance kid survived the final shootout

    2) Someday it will be possible to divide by zero

    I believe that rapists/padeophiles/murderers should all get the death penalty.

    I think learning disabilities are vastly over diagnosed and the provisions made for them in exams are very unfair.

    We cannot save the poor countries in Africa by throwing more money at them. If Africa is to save itself, its going to have to stop having so many kids and get some proper economic policies like China did.

    I agree with many of the things China does except for its imprisoning of people who disagree with them and restricting the internet.

    Israel is not a very nice country and causes endless amounts of trouble, they just get away with it because of America and that they're Jewish.

    If you cannot mind your kids, you cannot have them.

    EDIT: And vegetarianism and veganism are ridiculous. The animals aren't smart enough to know they are about to be eaten.

    Don't kill me!!

    wouldn't want you to. it can be referenced as one of the dumbest and most retarded comments ever made on boards...can be in some type of intro pack for new members.

    Glad that's settled so.:)

    I believe that the Irish prison system is fundamentally flawed in its punitive approach towards detention. I think a more humane approach dealing with trying to rehabilitate in prisoners in less rigid surroundings and structures would reduce re-offend rates and could be achieved in a much shorter time therefore meaning incarceration times could be slashed.

    In the same guise there would not be sentences like 12 years or whatever - but more sentences that are to programs specifically catered to the offender which address their deficiencies in relation to being a functioning member of society.

    I believe that every citizen who is eligible to vote should take an IQ test and if their IQ is below average, they shouldn't be allowed to vote in any election. I also believe that a life sentence, means life, i.e. you should die in prison.

    That's because what they said was possibly controversial but still within the realms of possible popular opinion.

    You're still right... It's not that funny.

    And neither is Ricky Gervais!
    Wake up people... He's just the same joke over and over and over again.
    It was funny the first 12 times and all.. But come on!

    I believe there is no cure for scumbag. Rehabilitation is politicaly correct bullsh'it. The problem with irish prisons is that they let every f'ucker out at the drop of a hat. 12 years should mean 12 years, not 12 weeks!

    I think the recession is a good thing if it keeps the pizza-faced gimps in the noisy Hondas off the road, and has cleared the country of those grinning apes in the yellow builders boots who jammed the fast-food counters of every Spar in the country from 0700 to 0830.

    I'm a secular humanist, as well as an atheist. and I believe in human rights, equality, secularism, freedom of and from religion, freedom of speech, legalization and regulation of marijuana, legalization and regulation of prostitution, and LGBT adoption and marriage. I am pro-choice (for both the right to choose an abortion and the right to choose to die) and anti-censorship.

    I gotta lotta battles. :pac:

    Ricky Gervais I agree with but Anchorman is brilliant, you do have to ignore all the subsequent movies with pretty much the same material but as it was one of the first with those guys it was fresh and extremely funny and quotable.

    I firmly support the death sentance.
    What is the point in giving someone 40 life sentances?
    I saw an interview with Jeffrey Dahmer where he said his day consisted of getting up for breakfast, going back to sleep, getting up for lunch, going back to sleep, getting up for dinner, and staying awake all night watching tv or reading. Then he was bludgeoned to death by another inmate. What's the point?

    Easy to say, but the rest of us are killed time wise getting meals ready, eating them, washing up, these people have no food and don't have to take up huge amounts of time with the above, so with all that time on their hands.....well, you guessed it.

    It is my opinion that a lot of people love being pro-everything in black and white but aren't interested in the grey areas based upon some arbitrary lines they draw wherever they like.. and then frequently have the stones to mock others.

    Muslim fundamentalists (fundamentalists, not the average Muslim Joe). I find it disgusting that they come to / grow up in a Western country, protest with their "Europe is the Cancer, Islam is the cure" crap, and expect us to change our society to suit their beliefs while the beliefs of their home country MUST NOT BE CHALLENGED AND BE RESPECTED!!

    What's equally as disgusting is the liberal lefties who defend this sort of action. These fundamentalists knowingly mock us by abusing the right to free speech when it suits them.

    Throwing money at Africa will not save it, they must learn like every other country did to survive on their own. Yea, it's hard with crime, corruption, dictators, but his has been a result of disadvantaged areas swamped by misplaced money.

    Key players who put this country in the sh1te, I won't specify who (you know) to be publically humiliated, then given a choice of life imprisonment or execution.

    Look I've watched it twice, and I'm the kind of person who will laugh at ABSOLUTELY ANYTHING but I didn't find this funny.

    Now pick on someone else!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,750 ✭✭✭liah


    Oh, and I, like Princess Peach, didn't find Anchorman funny.

    I personally found it loud, obnoxious, and irritating more than anything else.. is that what constitutes comedy for most people now? :confused: Arrogant stupid loud people?

    I seriously don't and will never understand people's fascination with that movie or Will Ferrell. His entire act is being loud, making stupid faces and acting like an idiot. In every movie.

    That may be my most controversial opinion, actually. :pac:

    I don't mind him in Bored to Death. Definitely not a big fan otherwise though.

    Another controversy: Jim Carey. Again, flailing around, being loud and making weird faces just doesn't do it for me.

    Oddly, though, he can be a decent serious actor when he wants to be (ignoring the Number 23). And I also didn't mind Lemony Snicket.

    Everything else of his is like nails on a chalkboard to me.

    Star Wars - Yes, the 1st 3 were good films............great for their time, actually but, for the love of fùck, get over it. Stop over-nerding it and ruining them for everyone else.

    Same could be same for the whole Star Trek / Stargate thing but those hyper-nerds do bring me joy. :pac:

    Family Guy is not comedy gold, it's stupid with it's non-stop 80's refrences, obscure actors we forgot about, awful musical numbers, and of course sex jokes.
