I think opinions like this can either be extremely wise or stupid depending on how well the person has thought the question through.

If everyone smoked pot and alcohol didn't exist the world would be a much, much better place.

If you earn that kind of capital, you shouldn't need a huge amount of benefits. The $2000 a month or whatever the dollar amount is should not be necessary for someone that's making $17K per month.

Also, likely anyone that's in the top 1 % has likely been there for at least a number of years, so really there is no excuse not to have $ available.

People who don't like watching baseball or golf miss out on the greatest drama that sports provides.

Wine and coffee are disgusting.

Cats are excellent company.

Mayonnaise, ranch dressing, and caesar dressing are gross.

I am an atheist, and yet, I believe there is an unexplored greatness to religion that I will never fully understand.

I'm pretty sure you're agnostic, not atheist...

Your opinions of what music sucks are stupid. You have a difference of opinion, try looking at music from a different point of view.

Coffee makers need to stop roasting the #### out of their coffee. You know why it tastes like burnt dirt; it's because you roast it too much.

There are too many apps, mobile is important, but whatever your idea is, you'll fail to execute on it properly.

People who think twitter is about sharing every minute of your life. Those who have that opinion have generally never used Twitter.

I wish people wore suits and ties more often.

Apple makes good computers that are certainly useful, but the iPhone is a stagnant platform that needs to innovate, or they will die.

Google is creating sky net.

We are far too coddling of children. And I say this as a recent father.

I'm talking more about the experiential, and not the actual existence of a god. Although, I suppose that I am an agnostic.

Golf is a great sport to watch on television.

Baseball playoffs are the most exciting playoffs (only exception is if the Flames are making a run).

Baseball is a much better "sport" when teams are actually going all out to win, like they do in the playoffs. In the regular season, not so much.

Also, baseball is not a sport.

I will add to this.
As a person who drinks their coffee black, Tim Hortons coffee is terrible.

Oh, and I agree with Peter12, people who have a job and go out in public dressed super casually should be embarrassed. Wearing sweatpants in public is a plague on our society that need to go away.

This forum is too sensitive when it comes to crude humor.

Sorry, next time I'm hungover as balls and roll out of bed to get a coffee from Tims, I'll wear my tux.

Is a regular tie okay or should I pull out the ol' bow?

It depends what you mean by benefits, does this mean healthcare? Access to social security? Access to disability?

Making $200,000 does not make you obscenely wealthy.

Put on some jeans or chinos, you lazy piece of trash. At least that is what I will spend 0.04 seconds thinking when I pass by you on the street in my tux.

Most people who wear shorts really shouldn't. It gets so hot here sometimes I dont know what the alternative would be.

PED's will be embraced by the sporting community a generation from now.

Bonds, McGuire, Sosa, Clemens - they should all be proudly in the hall of fame.
