He's literally jumping at every opportunity he can get to argue with people, and when he gets proven wrong he either starts ignoring the person that did so or starts talking shit. This has happened multiple times throughout most threads revolving around stuff like social issues, and seeing as he always seems to find a complaint about what people say I'm starting to think he's just doing it for the sake of being controversial and picking up fights. It's already gotten to the point where even Joey has told him to lay off.

If it was a quote in the first place, you should have had that duly noted in the beginning or end of your post so people wouldn't respond to it just so you could point out any fallacies they make. That makes you out to be a douchebag.

I'm beginning to think that this thread is bait to try and wind everyone up.

Not really. You choosing not to respond to any of my points I just made after your post just goes to show that your side of the argument didn't really hold up that well.

Ok but that's not really an unpopular opinion (meaning an opinion that the majority of people doesn't share)
some people might be against it though

like GhostHawk the Neo Nazi
What?

Also my opinions could be argued as extremely far left or right wing. For example when people say I'm a Neo-Nazi they assume that's on the far right and that's the end of the story. It's not because a Nazi is simply a term for a National Socialist. Some would say Nationalism is right wing enough to make Nazis right wing, but others say the left wing nature of Socialism makes Nazism left wing. Both groups are partially correct in their arguments I would say. In Hitler's Germany he had power concentrated onto him, which goes against everything I believe about how government power should be structured. At the same time he fought for his people and wanted to make Germans brave through peace, and fought to end the social equivalent of the Great Depression. Nationalism, I can get behind because I see that the nation is as good as its people and hence everything should be done to allow those people to thrive and prevent outside groups from taking advantage of the people. So at that, National Socialism is a mixed bag so it should be treated as such, and not as inherently right wing.

I don't call myself a Nationalist of any sort, and identify mostly as a Constitutional Libertarian. The only brands of Nationalism I would ever consider would be just plain Nationalism or Civic Nationalism. That's it.

I think my Flippy Ghost Hut from Tower of Biased 4 was too bashed upon in that old as fuck contest
It ended up getting Joke Level-Tier even though it's a legit level with an original gimmick
It was just an original gimmick made poorly

Actually, no.

Yes, this is a Thread where you share your controversial thoughts, and people are surprised that this is coming for an actual human being.
But I didn't make this thread because I wanted everyone to hate everyone, I made this because I thought it would be fun to know that people may
or may not have the same opinion as you. And the thrill of someone else having your opinion feels great, while another one sees that one who sees that said member
DOESN'T agree with you, they may be a bit pissed off. And if they choose to vent their anger on others in a rude, disgusting way, then they will be reported. And that's their fault.

You're probably wondering "Well that's what Facebook and Twitter is for. Sharing opinions openly with others."
Well, this topic is also titled "Free Speech", and part of free speech is no worries of others being upset with you. Most likely on Facebook you are friends with other family members, and
if you say something like "I believe that the cop during the the Ferguson trial had the right to shoot him, and that he feared for his life", a family member will mention this IRL during dinner time
or something, and everyone will go to bed without dessert. Also, I think that maybe, just MAYBE, if we all knew each other little more, we'd all be closer together as a community.
I was surprised that this place didn't have a "Chat Room" and "Share your Social Media and/or YouTube User Names" thread. I think that this is one of the many threads that
are necessary to the community, and I'd love to see others make the threads that I just mentioned. Because after the experience I saw here, I think it's
safe to say that it is super necessary.

As for the any future/present trolls on this thread, I hope you choke on your dinner tonight. Just don't die please

It was bad, but it wasn't as bad as people during the contest said it was, especially with levels that it shared in the same tier

I enjoyed that level, the flaws notwithstanding.

The fact that I can still go back to it and play it and STILL be like "What the fuck do I do even?" amuses me a lot, though I suppose that's not to most people's tastes. I did appreciate how carefully you made me think around what I needed to do in the level.
I guess that makes it an UNPOPULAR OPINION. *plays theme song*

Anyway a few things:

-The escalation of the human population is going to need to stop at some point. We should focus on improving the quality of lives and carbon footprints of people who already exist before we concern ourselves with productivity and general reproduction for their own sakes. (Not to say I think people should be forced to stop reproducing or anything, but I'm appealing to human responsibility and consideration to our future here. I especially don't understand some of the panic over declining birth rates in some areas. It's like... chill.)

-The way we treat our children is silly. We project our imaginings of the utmost fragility and innocence onto them, we lie to them, and we coddle them, and we don't respect them. Which is weird to me because everyone was a child at some point in their life. It's like people just forget how nonsensically adults would seem to behave towards them when they were children, or they grow to accept that behaviour as normal and perpetuate it. I think it's possible to have a healthy understanding of what children are capable of and need to be taught, without inherently just treating them as if they are adults. Then again, some adults you actually do have to treat like children because they're caught in the notion that their age makes them superior and they become hypersensitive to anyone younger than them.

IMO i hate people who come up with something to me like "OMG YOUR A TURK GO FUCK YOURSELF AND GO BACK IN YOUR FUCKING HOMELAND BEFORE YOU KILL US" which happens a lot on my daily routine. Mostly in munich.

Nobody deserves to be happy unless they've lived a worthy life to earn it. Thing is, most people are never really happy. We are not entitled to happiness. It isn't something you can just pick up. Its something you need to truly work for.

Amen to that. Happiness comes from achievement, achievement comes from hard work. No hard work, means no satisfaction.
