Unpopular opinions

Do you know who else is absolutely stupid and should be repealed?

So you want to build a great wall around the Elections forum - because nobody builds walls better than you - to make SDMB great again?

Dung Beetle and a pile-of-cack metaphor sitting in a tree…

Thanks! For a while there this thread was the sole exception to the rule. Glad I could help!

Well, yeah, but I liked the ham part too!

Soda is better flat. Ice cream is better melted.

I’ll add to this, that for the good of the world America needs another civil war in which social conservatism is crushed.

They will pay back the government via the higher taxes they pay (due to getting a college degree and thus a higher-paying job).

  • Though they claim otherwise, most people who have been unemployed for along time don’t really want a job.

  • Most people on SSDI, and many on welfare, are scamming the system.

  • Corrupt/abusive/violent/unethical police officers are not a “tiny fraction” of the police force. I believe 30% to 40% of LEOs are bad.

THINGS THAT EXIST MANIFEST THEMSELVES

Where’s the opinion?

Except for modifying “melted” to “half-melted”, I agree with both of those statements. Also, most cereal is better soggy.

That was fascinating, thanks.

Try telling that to employers who think certifications and degrees are everything when looking at candidates. I was let go in 2010 with 40 years in telecom. It seems that experience means nothing now. The colleges turn out drones with book learning and no common sense and they end up getting jobs on the front lines of fast food.

I actually met a woman over the weekend that poured a Mountain Dew in a cup, put a straw in it and blew out all the carbonation!

People shouldn’t be forced to pay for the education of other people’s children. You can’t afford them, don’t have them.

Wow, so you get through your days entirely without relying on any services provided for you by the members of an educated workforce? Amazing. Tell us how you do it?

So no public schools - let’s have America 100% private schooled or homeschooled?
