This is fun to read.

Here's mine. First-person shooter is the worst genre of video game, followed VERY closely by anything zombie related. A zombie themed FPS is the epitome of terrible.

Ray Ferraro is among the best if not the best colour commentator in hockey.

Yes, in clinics, ERs, and everywhere alike. Don't judge a person by the name, it's a horrible alias that I took on in junior high/ high school and it has stuck...

FYI, I have worked in Calgary and Edmonton, so be careful what you say.

I'd argue that ALL of Ontario's nuclear power comes from nuclear.

Telling someone what language someone has to use is as bad as telling them what they can, and cannot say.

But we definitely should not dedicate any government resources to providing them with translation services. The only exception would be new immigrants.

So basically give people incentives to learn an official language, but don't force them to.

I think many women are completely hypocritical in what they say they want in a man, versus what they actually look for.

Did that patient die? Have you ever seen anyone die from allergies? I've brought people into the ER for treatment. They get a shot and move on. I may win for being unpopular but coworker is not going to die because I have a dog or someone else ate a granola bar.

I think Harry Potter, The Avengers and Transformers are all terrible movies.

I don't think people should be kept alive on life support for extended periods of time, especially when there is a chance that they will never recover.

All perfumes, colognes and body sprays should be banned.

I can't stand small dogs.

I automatically think less of people who watch shows like American Idol and X-Factor.

I automatically think less of people who argue against evolution and for creationism.

Instead of the death penalty we should throw all people convicted of murder/rape etc. onto an island to fend for themselves.

I don't think there is anything funny about Family Guy. It's one of the most annoying shows on TV.

I hate bacon.

I prefer rain to sun.

I think people convicted for crimes against children should be 'fixed'.

I think pot should be legalized, but it along with smoking cigarettes should not be allowed in public.

By that logic I should be able to kick you in the balls as many times as I want. Have you ever seen anyone die from a kick in the balls? They don't even have to be brought to the ER. They just lie on the ground for awhile and move on. I may win for being unpopular but you are not going to die because I've kicked you in the balls every hour for the past 8 hours.

This is purely formed from anecdotal evidence, but people who smoke a lot of weed are all lazy underachievers.

While playing the occasional video game is fine, sitting in front of a screen gaming for more than 20 hours a week makes you a loser.

Very few people who society considers adults have matured past the age 16 (myself somewhat included)

Your parents aren’t supposed to be your friends, they are supposed to show you how to live and function in society, even if that means being harsh at times.

Society rewards people for being victims

Modern atheism is just as blind and closed minded as any other major religion.

Giving birth is not a miracle or special in any way. Half the human population is capable of it and it happens every day.

Death isn’t a bad thing.

While society has tried to convince me otherwise, I still find it hard to accept depression as a disease.

Actually I think the popular opinion is a desire to kick me in the balls.

I think the idea that someone drinking a glass or two of scotch or pounding back some beers a few times a week is somehow better then enjoying an equivilent amount of pot is absolutely laughable.
