Unpopular opinions you have

[BigBrodieFan]

I think the sexual position '69' is completely uncomfortable and over-rated.

SOME parents who are too lazy to cope with their children find a way to get doctors to prescribe drugs that only make them tired and hinder their growth and academic potential.

Welfare recipients in the US should have to take drug tests just like workers do.

Unions have ruined many great companies and businesses.

It is ludicrous to think that the human race is capable of changing the climate of a planet that has existed for 6-7 billion years, and undergone so many transformations because of weather.

Red licorice is the grossest 'candy' in the world.

Children are babied and coddled in schools and sports. The thought of 'everyone deserves a trophy for participating is asinine.

I love the taste of Labatt 50.

Then when you see a nutty post you can say "oh ya, he's the guy who's an awful, awful human being and these quotes are why".

Just throw the worst of them on the ignore list

As a child raised in that environment, I find it asinine as well.

The Human race needs to cull its own herd.

Corruption exists because government and religion exist.

Taking Discipline out of parents' and teachers' hands has ruined the last generation of kids.

The television channel TLC needs to be taken off air and every single one of those ######ed shows need to be burned and erased from the memory banks.

Idiocracy is happening and we are all too busy on our cell phones playing angry birds to do anything about it.

Pedophiles and Rapists need to be branded , on the forehead, the beginning letter of their crime. Then released into the general public where the individual is left to deal with the consequences.

A lot of racists on this board for whatever reason, feel it's fine to make racist remarks and turn around and tell people to "stop being super sensitive". If they said the same things in public or the workplace, they'd be ridiculed and/or fired, despite their claims of people being over-sensitive.

You either tip to offset the server making a miniscule "wage" paid to the server by their employer, or you pay a guaranteed higher price so that the server is making the actual minimum wage. That isn't a "bonus" that server is working for. That is regular salary that server is working for.

Minimum wage for servers in PA is around $2.82/hour. If you have crappy service, obviously that's an issue--take it up with the manager. But if you have competent service and you don't want to tip based on some 'principal,' you're basically a terrible person. Waiting tables is a miserable job where you make pennies to let people treat you like garbage. You rarely get any benefits or sick days.

I'm of the belief that if you can't afford to tip at least 15%, you shouldn't be eating in a restaurant with servers. If you can't or won't tip, get fast food or cook for yourself. I also think that anyone who complains about tipping servers should work as a server for six months and realize what a terrible job it is.

Great idea in theory, but it doesn't stand up to logic. Unless you can find a company willing to administer the tests free of charge, the government loses money by testing so many recipients.

The average family of four would need to be on welfare for over 100 years to get the same dollar amount in "benefits" as your typical millionaire CEOgets in tax breaks on a yearly basis.

I'll think of more, but for now, I think me and you have some things in common:

-Coffee sucks because I can't drink it. It's too sharp. Tea is the best.

- The Dark Knight rises was f$@#%#$ horrible.

I'm curious which racist remark from this thread would get anyone fired? Direct quote pls.

This might be a very unpopular opinion, but tax breaks <> welfare benefits.

Workers shouldn't have to take drug tests in order to work.

Working in the States I had to take a drug test at the age of 16 in order to bag groceries and gather carts from the lot. What a load
Let alone most drug tests only test for pot as others are out of your system so quickly. Work drug tests are not randomly sprung about an employee, they have days or weeks notice in advance. I had to schedule my own. Also do many get tested throughout their time working? I've only heard of pre-employment. I'm sure the odd time someone gets tested throughout their employment, but probably only through knowledge of them coming to work high, or they just want any reason to fire the person.
I would be fired for working drunk, make drugs the same policy. The only reason these drug screens are in place is because insurance companies lower the cost if the companies do so. I'm curious if the cost the companies save actually outweigh the cost of pre-employment screening everyone.

Also who should pay for welfare recipients to take the drug tests? Certainly not the welfare recipients. That would hurt those that actually need to assistance for legitimate reasons the most.

Unpopular opinion:

Children and "the next generation" are are not stupid/worse/spoiled/lazy/######ed any more than we were when you/we were when old/older people said the same thing about you/us.

People have been saying that forever. Were they right? We sound just like them. If they were right (and who can disagree with Grandpa's wisdom?) then we are too stupid and lazy to to judge the next generation in the first place.

I know it's hard to find and isn't a common game, I love no limit Omaha cash games. That's all I play with my buddies now. So much cash flying around, so many big pots and big swings. A lot of fun. We had 3 grand in our pot a couple weeks ago. There were five of us.
