Five Unpopular Opinions


Being an intelligent free-thinker with an open mind and an abundant sense of apathy, I often hold opinions about things that very few agree with, or at least, that very few would admit to agreeing with.

But because I’m such a nice person, unless I’m playing devils advocate with someone who I know wont take my opposing view as a personal attack, I try to keep my voice of dissent as quiet as possible. Not today though!

Here are the first 5 things that come to mind that I haven’t talked about because I’m likely to cop shit about it:

  1. When a car full of drunk teenagers crashes into a tree, rolls down an embankment and bursts into flames, the first thing that comes to mind is: DARWINISM.
  2. I applaud the decision of the airlines that charge fat people extra. If you’re gonna use 2 seats, you should pay for 2 seats. Extend this to movies, concerts, public transport. Tax the fatties!
  3. Building suicide barriers on bridges is not going to solve the problem. People who want to die will find a way. Making it hard wont make them any less dead in the end.
  4. If your young child is hit by a car, drowns in a pool or ingests oven cleaner and dies while unsupervised, the world will call you a bad parent. You know why? BECAUSE YOU ARE A BAD PARENT.
  5. Climate change is bullshit. The climate has changed before, and its gonna change again. We as a species dont deserve to survive it. The Homo Sapien is a failed mutation. Its time to abdicate the throne and let the next alpha species take over. On this point, everyone should lend their ear to the late great George Carlin, as he said it better than I ever could.

    Funnily enough Manda, I agree with wholeheartedly on all five.

    I think you should voice these opinions more often. You may find more people than you think agree with you :P
