I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again. I like Dick Cheney.
I have 5 kids, which means I have 3.8 too many. I own a truck and three SUV’s. I’m a moderately successful business owner/capitalist, therefore an evil oppressor.
I fired a guy a week before Christmas, and another guy on his birthday.
A circumsized penis is a wonderful thing.
I believe many people on disability are not disabled. This includes veterans.
I believe many kids are overdiagnosed, and could just use some better parenting.
I hate cats and think every.single.one pisses inside a house with alarming frequency that their owners are loathe to admit. As a remodeler inside many different people’s houses, this idea is proven and reinforced over and over and over again.
I think that coffee tastes like burnt ass.
I think that abortion is absolutely, positively murder. Still should be legal. If you don’t want your kid, why the hell would I?
I think that most programs for the poor support a middle class/ upper class lifestyle for the employees of the program instead of actually helping the people who need it, and everyone is perfectly ok with that. Which is bullshit.
I charge more for clients I think are assholes. If the idea of this upsets you, you are more than likely an asshole yourself.

I lost 90+ pounds and have kept it off using a dieting method other than simple calorie counting and exercise.

I don’t like sushi _without ever having tried it_.

On the big hotbutton issues that people are so passionately binary about I tend to have “C - None of the above” as my position. Even when I largely agree with one side I can vehemently disagree with aspects of the orthodox position is.
Some results of the above:
- I have a tendency to call the two sides of the abortion debate, Anti-life and Anti-choice.
- Alternatively, I sometimes say I am both Pro-life and Pro-choice. Life and choice are both great things! Now do you want to actually talk about abortion?
- I can comfortably label myself as a liberal Republican.

I smoke Cuban cigars. I also enjoy my pipe. Indoors.

'See, the thing is, most of my jarring, contentious political opinions are roughly cancelled out by my _other_ jarring, contentious political opinions, so I’m pretty soundly balanced on the political “hatred” score. I think I’m “mildly irritating” at worst.
So I guess that basically just leaves my taste in movies. Jar-Jar Binks was _fine_, once you got used to him.

I don’t hate you for that. I’m on Disability, too. I imagine a lot of Dopers are also on it.

I generally do read the entire thread before I post to it. And if it doesn’t go to where I expected the subject line to lead me, I sometimes pretend that I don’t notice that. Then I post the response I wanted to in the first place, simply because I find it amusing.

I tell obviously adopted children who are brought into my shop for a consultation that they will only find true peace and happiness by reuniting with their biological parents. Of course, I despise 99% of all children for being ill-behaved brats. I am pro-capital punishment, pro-abortion, and have only extremely minor worries about stand-your-ground laws. My dream constitutional amendment would be one that ties abortion rights to firearms (i.e., the only way to outlaw abortion would be to outlaw guns), simple because I think it would be easiest way to get to an end all discussion of the subject. I think the genetic father of a fetus or child should have the option within 2 to 6 weeks of his being informed of the existence of said fetus or child to sign away all rights and responsibilities. I call it the paper abortion. Oh, and cell phones should be banned.
Just curious, what is it about a child that gives them away as obviously adopted?

Ha. Me too. But the fashionistas who used to get apoplectic over this, I don’t think they post to the board any longer, so I think we’re okay. As for as ellipsis… meh. 😛
The only thing I can think of that might actually get me “hated” on here is de-clawing my cats. Mine have always been solely indoor kitties who haven’t seemed to mind, so I continue to save the furniture I can’t afford to replace. It’s a trade-off.

Being a conservative, liberal, libertarian, Christian, Muslim, Atheist, non-Joss Whedon fan, or whatever, isn’t creating any hate in and of itself that I can see. _No one hates **Shodan** for being a Republican_ (as an example). I don’t really see Shodan accruing much hate at all, in fact. Irritation, sure. Hate? No. He’s not even Pitted all that often! There have been liberals who were (justly) Pitted more often than Shodan has been.

Yeah, some of these are venturing close to sneakbrag “people hate me because I’m beautiful” posts.

I wear socks with my flip flops when my toes get cold.
And not just in my house!
Shrug, don’t care who doesn’t like it either.
