Rob Schneider is an amazing comedian/actor and any movie he appears in is much better off because of it.
On the other hand, Robin Williams is awful and annoys me to no end.
I still don’t believe man has any significant influence on global warming.
My political views are conservative, albeit Canadian conservative.
The golden age of music was between 1964 and 1980. Not much has taken place since then.
I’m all for oil refining and building pipelines; we need them.
Nuclear power plants are the power of the future.
Wind and solar energy are laughable solutions.
We’ll never go to Mars; there’s no need, it’s technologically prohibitive and we won’t learn anything.
There will never be a band more influential than The Beatles.
When I was young, the liberal ideal was sincerity. Today, the liberal ideal is to be inoffensive. I prefer the old ideal.
Between the constant need to be inoffensive and the growing power of law enforcement, I fear that America is becoming a conformist state.
Sante Sangre is one of the best films of all time.
I think on the whole, feminism has done a lot more good than harm, and I don’t hold it against people if they consider themselves feminists, but I have some major issues with some of the core beliefs and wish everyone would just be humanists which I feel has so much less baggage, if any.
Most highly developed animals should have much more rights then they have now.
The world is overpopulated and I think it is a waste of resources if people have kids without really really wanting them.
Working adults, in the US get stiffed wrt long job hours , life/ work balance, health insurance and vacation days and yet they think they’ve got it made.
THANK YOU. Carrot Top is funnier than Robin Williams.
I will up the unpopular opinions by saying I’ve seen Carrot Top like 5 times ON PURPOSE and think he’s really funny.
I was also baffled for the outpouring of grief at Jonathan Winters’ death. I mean I didn’t wish him DEAD but “omg a comedy legend!!one111!” Not even close.
I don’t get the whole purpose of the space program to be frank. (My husband works for NASA btw.) We have Tang and Velcro…AND?!?
Fifty Shades of Grey succeeded because it WAS a ground-breaking work, it brought the dominant/submissive relationship that is at the heart of most bodice-ripper romances out in the open in a way that appealed to traditional romance readers. That’s the secret of its success, despite its stylistic flaws. Oh my!
John Norman’s Gor novels are very appealing to many women for similar reasons, and their audience is primarily women, not horny male dom wannabes as feminists suppose.
Gays adopted the idea that homosexuality is genetic for political reasons (to deal with the argument that gays are predators who “convert” innocent youth into gays) not scientific ones. Scientifically, the jury is still out on that one.
Gay advocates also systematically lied about the existence of AIDS among straights during the early years of AIDs … when it first appeared, it’s victims were almost exclusively gay. They did it to save lives, because most conservatives looked at AIDS attacking gays as literally a godsend, and moderates didn’t much care, so long as its victims were almost all gay, so it was morally justifiable … but it was still a huge lie.
Obama is just as owned by Wall Street as any Republican and has wanted to cut Medicare and Social Security since before he was elected President.
The first three movies in the Star Wars trilogy are fine movies that are fun to watch.
CGI has made many science fiction movies a lot more fun to watch. The “tin cans floating on string” animation that preceded the first Star Wars movies were hampered by having such limited special effects that suspension of disbelief is very difficult.
Most classic films are like the classic literature we all were forced to read in school … boring.
Bob Dylan is highly overrated.
The Beatles mostly suck.
This is not groundbreaking and COMPLETELY FREE in every history of time. AND WAY BETTER! I know 14 year-olds who write better smut than 50 Shades. I made it three chapters into 50 Shades until I threw away my computer. I THREW AWAY MY COMPUTER.
All of my opinions are popular ones.
I think that education/experience being equivalent, companies are right in preferring to hire men/older women over women w/ small children or of child bearing age and furthermore companies should be allowed to know this about their employees before offering them a job.
I also believe that in most cases, men earning more than women for equivalent jobs is justifiable by the company.
I fully believe that your company should be able to discriminate against hiring smokers and that employees w/ unhealthy lifestyles should be charged more for their health insurance, if for no other reason but to encourage them to get healthier.
I believe the drug war is the root cause of most poverty and violence and that drugs, for the most part, should be legalized and regulated for adults.
I believe that employers who knowingly hire illegal immigrants should be fined/prosecuted severely. Furthermore, that is the way (not a Gosh Danged fence) to truly stop the flow of illegals across the border.
I’m sure I have more, let me think about it for a while.
I believe that patriotism is bullshit, and that defining people and their rights (which can directly affect their very survival), by which side of an arbitary line they were born on is bizarre and frankly barbaric.
pi is exactly three!
:nodding: Or, as a conservative friend of mine says, “The Republicans of today are driving the party into the ground. Ignore them. Read about the old school Republicans. They knew something.”
Unlike other people from my neck of the woods, I won’t razz you about it. My Dad was a Yankee fan too. He had to keep it under wraps.
I’m more pro-gun than 90% of the board; I really believe something like an armed libertarian society is at least worth a try.
I wouldn’t care if my state never hosted any professional sports franchise ever again.
Jurassic Park III is the best of the trilogy, by a very large margin.
Stanley Kubrick is an awful Director, and if anybody tried to make movies the way he did today, they would be publicly ridiculed and thrown out of Hollywood.
Hey, argue with the 70 million who bought the book. The book was so huge it was accused of distorting the entire adult book market. It DID break ground.
