Title says it all folks. The internet in it's expansion has made disagreeing and agreeing with each other so easy. Some times for better, other times not so much. I'll give 2 examples for myself. First is usually related to forums I visit (mostly liberal and intelligent background forums): I believe that homosexual people aren't 'born' homosexual. I believe it's a choice to which gender you prefer. Without getting technical the assumption (to me) that being gay is a 'gene' is impossible. A great article on the study of sexual preference on siamese twins showed that even though the twins initially shared organs and DNA, they grew to being homo and hetero respectively. Countless other studies and theories led me to my conclusion on this as well, but I won't bore you too much. That being said, nothing wrong with being homosexual or whatever, just how I feel about one theory. Next is Facebook example: TN is a very religious place. Naturally, a lot of my irl friends are religious to some degree. Posting anything that may come off as negative about god on facebook always results in everyone getting mad. I eventually stopped doing it, or just used too big of words for people to understand what I'm talking about. Your turn. Edited by Cal, Aug 14 2012, 06:55 PM.

I'm completely against Capital Punishment, yet almost everyone that I've met on the internet is completely for it (a generalisation on my part, I know.) I never get into debates about it because, whilst sometimes they can be fun, everyone is against me. I can relate to both the examples you provided, I can never post material that is offensive to religious people because it always starts a storm that is entirely necessary and not worth it. |

I believe that being an addict isn't a choice, but a moral you grow into. Decipher that one, smart people. |

I've not come across many people who are for Capital Punishment, so to me, it's not an unpopular opinion, it's a fairly common one from the people I've spoken to.
I don't believe this is a thread for riddles, either say what you mean for everyone to understand or don't say it at all. |

Okay, okay. I am an addict. I didn't choose to be an addict, I chose to use drugs and excessive amounts of alcohol. Came a point, where I couldn't stop. When I had money, I needed a high, I needed a drunk. Even if I told myself that day or days before, I would stop, I just couldn't. Even with help, it took me years and years to finally find a light that my disease may be cured. What I am saying is , addiction isn't something people choose, sometimes they don't have a choice , that in life, that is all they know. That they lose the motivation or hope not to ever be not an addict. |

I agree. Being addicted to drugs is a life style, and not only is the drug addicting, that life style is too. There comes a point where you just stop caring, or it at least happened to me. I just stopped caring and I just stopped fighting it. I just came to grips with right now, at this point in my life, I'm not stopping using drugs, I'm not stopping smoking, I'm not stopping being an addict. When you're going through withdrawals late at night and are shaking and sweating, then you think to yourself "I'm better than this, I'm quitting this bull*****", or when you get caught at school selling weed and big bad police men come to attempt to scare you and they call your mom and she starts crying her eyes out and you get kicked out of your own house, then you think to yourself, you should quit. I did, I touched no drugs for months. Then it happened again, sometime late last month, and it's like I never quit in the first place. Addiction started when I was 11, and hasn't been out of my life since then. It's not a choice, I didn't choose it, I juts fell into it. That's what drugs and drug addiction is, a life style you just happen to fall into. And personally, I love it. When it gets boring and when I stop loving it, is the time I'll quit. |

Killing should be justifiable. 1. Euthanasia, the concept of mercy killing, take a wounded animal for example, you'd kill that if it was in pain and had no hope in living, why not do the same to a WILLING patient (some sort of illness/disease), if it's only going to live a life of pain and misery. 2. As a form of punishment, this is where most people disagree, someone that's committed such horrible crimes, such as multiple rapes or murder or other horrendous acts against humanity, should be put to death, there is no point keeping a psychopath alive, with taxpayers money, because it is inhumane to kill someone in revenge. 3. As protection, in fact, I think this already is justified. But, what if mad old Larry with his knife is walking towards you, with the intent of killing you, and you shoot him in self defence or in defence of others, then this should be reasonable in my opinion. |

What? You wannah peace of me?

well something that isn't popular in the internet well come to think of it i don't know anything unpopular except for racism witch is fairly common in the internet but popular i am guessing that is a no no. And we also got the pro capital punishment well for what ever crime they did that is a crime a grave crime to humanity like going on a killing spree with guns and knives and killing lots of innocent lives in the process and many people would like to see the suspect dead or killed by the government its harsh but you have to accept people like that don't change and ending there lives for the betterment of the people if not humanity its debatable but what has to be done is done amd besides who wants to save a criminal like that? but other crimes should not be treated like a first world problem know what i mean.

Well there is a few beliefs I hold. 1. Death sentence as a punishment. I think it is wrong because very rarely will the guy who did it, learn what he did was wrong. And neither why it is wrong. I think there are other ways. Ways I can't think of. 2. I am also against torturing people. 3. I don't like when people believe that some race, gender, nationality,... is superior. I think everyone is and should be equal. 4. When I hear some guys talking that those who fight in UFC are strongest people on planet I strongly disagree, but I don't start debates about it. 5. I think that not all people who break the law are bad people, sometimes I think it's just the law that is wrong. 6. Often on Internet I read that God doesn't exist. I personally believe he does but I don't force my opinion. 7. Goku vs Superman. If Superman became a bad guy and if there was need for it, I think Goku would win!!

1. no such thing as a right to privacy. privacy is not something anyone actually needs unless they are doing something wrong, in which case they still don't need it, because people need to know when they are doing something wrong. I could care less if every room in every building had a camera in every corner. 2. selective breeding is good. face it, the world is overpopulated, and we need to do something about it. as long as we need to introduce population control measures, we should make sure that the best genes get the best survival chance. now, i'm not talking about trivial things like skin color or handedness. I'm talking about major things, like deadly genetic disorders, or genius, or resistance to HIV/cancer/ other really bad disease that kills people. 3. sexual orientation is hormonal. most people seem to think that sexuality is either genetic or a choice. it can't be genetic, or there wouldn't be such a large homosexual population across so many species. it would have bred out by now. it can't be a choice, because people have tried for decades or centuries to change their sexual orientation, and it just doesn't work. also note that most people "discover" their sexuality at a time when hormone levels are changing, either birth, puberty, or middle age. 4. absolute personal freedom is best. most people want to make rules about how you can't do something or other. but i feel that as long as you aren't infringing someone else's rights or causing direct harm to another without their informed consent, you should be able to do whatever you want. |

^^^ number one and four are some cold contradictions. unless youre saying that if you decide to do something "right" then it should be done in public? no right to privacy is just bunk. I have an unpopular belief that adults dont need to be drones and can live how they want. Instead you have people calling others weird for simply liking something like science fiction instead of non fiction. There will always be a line that someone is willing to draw, to make others feel invalidated. it sux. Edited by Paikuan extreme, Aug 20 2012, 09:36 PM.

A belief I hold that isn't popular on the internet? The Twilight books are actually rather well written. |

I'm not getting the privacy stuff. What if it's sexual related stuff? like being nekkid or concepting children. Or if you're doing something embarrassing but not bad. In response to the OP, I have to agree on homosexuality not being genetic. |

no, they aren't. you have every right to try to hide what you are doing, and everyone else has every right to look anyway. and when i say "something wrong" i'm referring to actual, objectively wrong things, like murder, theft, involuntary servitude, etc., not trivial or subjective things like what kinds of books you read.
modesty is a cultural construct, not a natural instinct. you hide sex and nakedness because society said you have to, not because there is any real reason to. but like i said, you have every right to try to hide, and everyone else has every right to look anyway. |
