Post your unpopular opinions

Circumcision of minors who can’t consent to the procedure, except in cases of absolute medical necessity, should be a serious crime.

I like Nehru jackets, and never understood all the hate.

Post my unpopular opinions here? Isn’t that what the “New Thread” button is for?

I don’t know if this qualifies as an “opinion”, per se, but last night I caught myself wondering if the sheer reduction of males in Europe from 1914-1945 is what reduced the asshole quotient enough in the post-war years to allow the continent to enact social safety nets.

Hmm. And is the corollary that a full contingent of adult males makes for a strong foundation for the growth of right wing nationalism there?

Time for women to be in charge of governments.

That hand held devices should be treated like smoking–Use them in your house or outside, not in anyone else’s space.

I don’t know. I really don’t. And many could (and will, and have) argued that the impact of the two World Wars changed Europe’s mindset as they looked for another way to remake their societies.

But the sheer lack of men… and exhaustion on behalf of those who fought… surely had an impact too? Not enough assholes, and the ones that were still there, many of them were tired of fighting for 30 years. Or, frankly, needed lifelong medical treatment to tend to their injuries.

Again… not really an opinion, just a thought I had. Perhaps this is worthy of its own thread?

Certainly food for thought, at least. I thought you made an interesting observation. It made me think something along the lines of crime rates decreasing after the introduction of unleaded gas.

In my opinion many of the opinions expressed in this thread are not actually unpopular. They’re actually “popular but ‘edgy’” opinions. :wink:

Also, I don’t think United Airlines is all that bad. They are at worst mediocre.
