In fairness though I think pop music today has gotten better then what it was in the 90s. It was so desperate then it wasn't exactly hard.

Desperate in the 90's? There's a school of thought out there which suggests good pop music ended with the 90s.:pac:

I have a serious amount of unpopular opinions..

As a normal, young man I find that it is unpopular or 'uncool' to be conservative. I hold centre-right views so as long as I am not fighting 'the man', I'm part of the 'system' or I've been brainwashed. I wouldn't be as Socialist as the average Irishman either.

I hold a healthy respect for people in the military worldwide whatever their reasons for joining. In this day and age of uber-social climbing, consumerism and instant gratification, people tend to sneer at the military in this country.

I dislike Geordie/Jersey Shore, and any pre-packaged TV Show or music artist.

I'm sure there are more to come

Even if they joined out of hatred for Muslims?

10% of people who take drugs will develop a problem, this 10% have different brains then the rest of us. But this 10% I guestimate cause up 70% of all crime. They are usually unemployable and are a drain on national resources as in welfare and the inevitable health problems. They also lift the tension everywhere and generally cause a lot of fear on our streets.

So this addictive brain in these people and the consequences are treated as a criminal issue, there has to be a better way for both the addicts and society as a whole. Why not treat the problem as a medical issue. I don't know exactly how that would work, but surely there are smarter people then me that has some ideas. Be it a medical test to tell a person he is a potential addict or proper treatment in prison or with-in society. Methadone treatment is a joke, you can't treat addiction with another addictive substance.

All I know is the current policy of dealing with alcohol and drugs is wasteful and clearly not working.

And that would be the problem with a test to tell you you cant take drugs, you would still have to find out yourself.

I am probably with-in that 10%, I drink and go on the odd bender, but I can always stop, but I know I am dancing with the devil. I never took drugs not once, they just were never around me growing up and now I have no interest. I suppose I am lucky. Which is why I never judge a junkie, but I still don't like them.

Unpopular amongst your peers, yes. Amongst the general population not so much. That said I hold a general wariness about young people who align themselves with mostly conservative or right-wing views. I'd rather an older person who started off left-wing and then gradually moved to the right as he/she gained more life experience.

Depends where you are, celebrating 'hero' soldiers is commonplace in the UK. Although why you respect them 'whatever' their reasons for joining is baffling. Soldiers pick their profession for the same reasons as everybody else, some find it exciting, some enjoy learning new skills, others prefer the organised structure, some can't find work at anything else AND yes some even do it to climb the social ladder. Certainly you enter the British army at a higher rank as a graduate. Princes William and Harry didn't start off as privates either - no class structure there I see.:rolleyes:

What are people supposed to do? Be seen to be fundraising for injured soldiers, holding welcome-back parades perhaps?

Personally I wouldn't be as gushing about soldiers or their 'heroic' deeds as others. However if these young men and women are sent by the government of the day to fight in Afghanistan, Iraq, etc then it should be up to that same government to pay any associated costs for rehabilitation, etc.
It's the greatest trick pulled by those in charge to have the general public fuelled by patriotism paying through charity what they themselves should be funding through taxation.

I think a huge amount of sports in the Olympics hold no weight. If it is two teams or people competing head-to-head, it isn't impressive at all who gets the gold. They're only beating each other. This is football, hockey, basketball, boxing etc. I'm more interested in events where it is fixed in what the competitors have to do. Events where world records can be broken. The 100m sprint will always be the 100m and will never change. In boxing for example, you only have to beat your opponent which can be hugely variable in their performance. So the Irish medals don't mean much to me.

Olympic athletes tend to be the cream of the crop. While there's naturally some variation in ability between competitors in a particular event every four years, if you've won an Olympic gold medal you can be sure you've beaten someone pretty damn good.
Saying some events hold no weight is a pretty strong statement.

I agree!

However you could make the point that the winner of the 100m in 1980 had the slowest time in 20 years. So that event doesn't always have the best competitors.

But yes, I prefer the concept of a first past the post sport as opposed to one where the decision is subjective.

Grimebox

And then add the fact that you cannot be professional to be compete in boxing! Laughable

I live in the North and like most nationalists here it sickens me that my taxes are being used to fund wars and to pay the pension of the Parachute regiment and other soldiers who were in the North until not so long ago.

I see your point. However I find it disingenuous for armed forces to be allowed to fundraise since it leads people to regard them in the same manner as charitable organisations, which they patently are not.

If people realised how much an army actually cost it might lead them to question them the same way all other public services are. By generating a notion of noble heroism and raising charity for soldiers it puts them beyond criticism - a dangerous position.

In terms of the North there is also the problem of conflict of interest where one half of the community funds the army disproportionately more than the other side. Armed forces shouldn't be allowed to fundraise.

I'd imagine it also sickens many in the UK that their taxes are used to finance 'inclusivity' programmes of dubious merit for ex-prisoners, given many of the same men made a habit of detonating bombs in their towns and cities.

They created a situation that caused the division of the country and the division within the NI state. Inclusivity programs help to fix the problems that caused the conflict.

What choice do they have?? Its the same in every country never any problem spending billions on new toys and better ways to kill each other... Ask for a few bob to look after the injured soldiers and all of a sudden it costs too much.

i think ive already posted it in this thread before, but i'd lick nicki minaj's hole, while fundraising for the TA, Parachute regiment, b specials, whatever.....

This was because the Americans who dominated sprint events had boycotted the games.
Eastern block countries returned the compliment four years later making the LA games an even bigger farce.

Olympic games have always been used as a political football, especially by communist countries to portray an image of a healthy sport loving nation.
Obviously the reality is somewhat different.

I wouldn't say this is an unpopular opinion, i heard Ronan Keatings new song yesterday , and its crap, just like all of his stuff. Crap songs, sang by that boring git. Go away Ronan, no one cares. Just release that crap in Japan where they love it. Stop polluting the airwaves with your terrible songs and annoying stupid voice.

Used to hate mashed potatoes myself when I was younger but my nanny overheard me saying "I hate mashed potato" to my parents one day at dinnertime, then Nanny says "Sure they are going to be mashed in your mouth anyway no matter what way ya like em"...That shut me up at the time, had no come back

Well it sort of makes sense, like there is no difference between mashed potato when its being chewed compared to say a boiled potato when you're eating it. But there would be a difference in the roast potato or fried when it comes to taste and texture etc.

There kind of would be a difference. I'd rather eat a mashed potato than one which has been chewed up by someone else and covered in their saliva and whatever else is in their mouth. Especially old people's mouths. That's just eww.

People like crap in a lot of countries. They also like a lot of good stuff over in Japan, too. Indie, Prog, electronica, dub, dance. The Tower Record Store in Tokyo is one of the best I've ever visited.

But yes, Ronan would not be my cup of tea.
