Unpopular Opinions/Free Speech Topic

The stereotypical Christian is probably an middle aged American person who brings God and Jesus and the Bible into literally everything, even politics.

The stereotypical Christian Priest, however, is the Catholic type ones, I'd say.

Shit, I was about explode on you before I realized you're mentioning stereotypes.

Tell me more about the stereotypical protestant priests. Are they protected from pedophilia charges by the church as well or what?

Opinion 1: This thread could be bumped.

Opinion 2: After AeroMatter posted an opinion on another thread that education should be completely privatized and localized, I have some thoughts that the following are incorrectly acknowledged as leftist ideals (inside the spoiler):

Spoiler: show

(ReadySetGo)

1. Modern post-secondary education, because too much funding might go to the campus identity and not the actual education. - Online access is becoming more reliable. For physical material, encourage growth of local community centres if it is possible to learn the material without a classmate. Rely on attending a college only if there are no other ways to learn the material. This could also extend to Grade 11 and 12 education.

2. Police/law enforcement, because they want crime to exist so they can support themselves instead of keep the community safe. - It seems the only way to mute their concerns would be to add a significant tax on weapons/ammunition (including imports), not ban them, and then specifically put that tax money towards the law enforcement; they may also have to add or raise fees on gun shows in addition to the tax. Other sources of funding would be reduced every 3 months to balance it out. Naturally, there would be a few Americans who'd be upset even at any kind of limitation on weapons even with said reduction, but it would be even more difficult for a potential criminal to obtain a weapon. I suppose there's also the psychology of how much you value your life if the cost of a weapon is much higher. Now this said, with a crime reduction, police funding would still be further reduced over time, but the money saved could then be used to get the former staff some new jobs faster and easier. Of course, anyone who does not have or plan to ever own a weapon would not have to worry about increased costs.

3. Excessive emergency care, which is necessary to save someone's life, but what about the preventative health measures? - There's no single problem or solution for this one, but the right idea is prevention of the emergency after a few years. Funding can't be reduced immediately, because the human body may need time to adjust.

I forgot about this topic, but this seems like the best place to explain my statement on education.

The K-12 and then go on to college paradigm should be abolished. Instead of having the traditional school system, it should be community based with: retired workers being able to teach in the field they specialized in (I'd want a chemist teaching chemistry instead of a guy who got a degree in education for example), companies contracting people to teach classes that will prepare students with the skills to work for them, and having these schools answer to a local government to ensure that students are literate, and have basic math and reasoning skills. In essence, a high school kid interested in flight and space would go to school and then go to a class owned by SpaceX and learn about the basics of aviation that day and then go to a class owned by Boeing to learn about being a pilot. Students would be at the center of the system and would be able to take classes they're interested in, and not waste their time in classes they are uninterested in or are a waste of time. These companies would have the incentive to teach the kids outstandingly to ensure they have a steady work force, and of course so they aren't wasting their money by not teaching them what they need to know to be employed by them.
Right now, Pearson is the only company that has any say over classroom material and they pretty much dictate the standards to state governments. They have no competition due to educational regulation, and can get away with making schools into graduation factories where the student is completely unprepared to enter the work force. Introducing competition into education will make it so that classes leave kids with all the foundational skills (because you can't work for anyone if you can't read a job application) and specific skills that a kid will need to succeed to let the company make a profit. Also, it removes any possibility of wasted time like school schedules create where a science teacher would need to rush the material in a 40 minute period because every class must be 40 minutes, including gym or that one class where the teacher is busy so you just read - you know the one I'm talking about. Instead of having these "off periods," you would just not pay for that class.
I say kids a lot, but this can be available for everyone really if they want to learn a specific skill in one class than pay for a bunch of junk classes at a college. Parents could even take the same courses as their kids if they have the time, and help them bond.

Modern (third wave/fourth wave) Feminism, Black Lives Matter, and the anti Gamer-Gate movement do not fight for equality nor equity, but for superiority over who they claim to be oppressed by. They wish to silence any voice that detests them by using political correctness as a cover for their fascist beliefs.

I think that Generation 4 of Pokemon is the worst generation ever made!

I don't think it's the worst, but I definitely think it's overrated. All of my friends who are in love with Gen 4 grew up with it.
I also think Gen 5 is underrated, and that Paper Mario: Sticker Star looks pretty fun (though I haven't played it yet).

Paper Mario: Sticker Star looks pretty fun (though I haven't played it yet).

According to one of my friends, it fucking sucks. You should play Color Splash instead if you're looking for Sticker Star but good.

So why is it that HRC got a measly 3.5 million more votes than Trump, but they refer to it is the MAJORITY?! So if Trump would have gotten the +3 mil "MAJORITY", would the 60+ million votes for HRC have been worth nothing also?

[Cedur]

It's the shitty overcome electorial system and the only argument of those who want to preserve it is "tradition"

Lol, alcohol is legal because of the exact same reason.

[Cedur]

That has nothing to do with this context. We're talking about how the system / procedure perverts the meaning of an election to be fair.

I don't care

[metalluigimario]

Well...I was more asking why people take "majority" to mean everyone. As in: 60+ million "americans" voted for both HRC and Trump. But all anyone ever says seems like they believe(or want us to believe)that NOBODY VOTED FOR TRUMP because HRC got the "majority of the popular vote" which-to me, at least-seems like the media(to say the least) doesn't even consider our votes as valid unless they align with whatever and whoever and wherever they are getting the free handouts!

EDIT:

Also, do we live in a world where a person is not able to look back on their life and see the mistakes and selfish/unfair choices they have made and not try to change? So Trump supported what our government calls the Patriot Act. And he supported invading the ME to kill Bin Laden. I was only 11 years old when I watched throughout the school day as the towers burned and guess what? I supported it, too! But, that does not mean that I was aware of what the elite have been doing when I just an ignorant boy.

Or like the fact that trump claims the rich and powerful don't care about us as much as they care about themselves-if at all!(which I believe), but how come he is the only businessman that i ever hear people talk about?! What about all the ones who don't want anything to change, because they set it up this way to reap the benefits our country's citizen's hard work and struggles?! What about the a**holes who have flooded our country with illegal "citizens" who don't have to pay taxes or help the rest of us as they just continue to use us as a stepladder to "the good life"!

That has nothing to do with this context. We're talking about how the system / procedure perverts the meaning of an election to be fair.

Regarding the "fairness" of US elections, where do you guys live, the city? 1 million citizens, at least, or something like that?

Well, me and my family and friends live on Prince of Wales Islands in SE Alaska, which is home to about a dozen or so communities for a grand total population of probably 15,000 people(so...maybe 8-9,000 voters, if that) What about our vote? (and I am not saying everyone voted for trump)Without the Electoral(not electorial) College, all someone would have to do would be to move all their constituients into a big lump sum and get that would be all she wrote! And how is that any fairer?

But everyone talks about HRC's 3+ million more votes as meaning everyone HATES TRUMP! So out of 130 million votes between the two of them HRC got 3 million more so OBVIOUSLY Trump lied and cheated to become POTUS.(If he lied and cheated, so did HRC)
But, yea...3 mil out of 130 mil is like, uh...1 in every 43.333 people like HRC more than Trump...so...

[underFlo]

The electoral college makes single votes worth differently depending on where you live which is just??? why????

without it your vote would weigh exactly the same as everybody else's, so that's not really a disadvantage??
