Unpopular opinions and ideas

[mattheus]

I am gay and all 3 of those religions have verses that their cult members follow to say we all should be put to death... In the US we hear about Christians but Jews and Muslims have almost identical ideas. I think the idea of going into their places of worship and demanding marriage is crazy... I am an atheist, marriage is a religion thing. I can sign a paper for $25 giving my man power of will.

Also, I like butch men, and in a divorce, I'd have the luck and he'd strut in like Miss Jay from Tyra and because divorce favors women, it would favor femmes too and I would be screwed out of everything.

there's a difference between confident and just being arrogant.

confidence is when you are content with yourself, who you are, who you're not, and etc. you pretty much accept yourself and are willing to work with whatever you have even if you don't like it at all. you're willing to live with it. that doesn't mean that if you should neglect yourself however such as letting yourself have poor hygenie, letting yourself get overweight or underweight to the point where it's affecting your health, or etc. it just means that if you don't happen to fit what society sees as the shit where people make fun of you, people won't date you, you get told that you're ugly or whatever else because you don't look like one of those models that are in the ads and etc, that it really doesn't matter to you because you like you. you don't need other people's approval to dictate how you should be or how you should live your life. that's confidence.

arrogance is when you think that you're better than everyone else to the point where you think the world revolves around you and everyone is supposed to kiss your ass. you also will use things that you have such as looks, height, wealth that has been handed down to you, the idea that you come from a two parent household, how you have a bmw, and etc as a way to boost yourself up and to put anyone that doesn't have what you have down. they may even be delusional where they'll overexaggerate their abilities or how great they are compared to the next person. an arrogant person tries to build the impression of confidence around other things such as exterior or material things rather than just being content with who they are and what they have. if you take height, looks, wealth that been handed down to them, a two parent household, a bmw, and etc, they would be exposed for the sorry people they are.

with that said, there are not enough men with confidence but there are too many men that are arrogant. the question is how many men know the difference because there are a lot of men that think they're confident but they're really arrogant as shit. there are tell tell signs too. one of them is if you put a lot more value in yourself for how other people see you as such as appearance, what type of car you drive, and etc, then that might be you.

most arrogant people i've ran into are straight up dicks. they pretty much have to put other people around them down while making themselves out to be the shit when they're anything but that. a confident person wouldn't feel the need to put down the next person to make themselves look good. that's called insecurity.

Extremely high self-esteem(arrogance) vs. extremely low self-esteem(self-hatred(or any other antonym of arrogance))?

In looking for a guy, or even just friends, I'd prefer the former characteristic.

well, different strokes, different folks.

but speaking for myself, i wouldn't date an arrogant person because from my experience, an arrogant person is either...

1. thinks they're the shit and can't admit their flaws, mistakes or whatever. admitting that you're a human being doesn't make you less of a person. a humble person will always get by further in life because people will be willing to talk to them and tell them whatever more so than an arrogant person who has a vibe where they're unapproachable. not everybody that doesn't approve of you is a hater. maybe they don't like you because of what they see. arrogant people usually think that everyone who doesn't like anything that they do is a "hater".

2. hides behind things to show how good they are and has nothing good to say about themselves as a person. after awhile, nobody gives a fuck about how tall you are, how good looking you are, what type of car you drive, how muscular you are, how much money you make, how much girls or guys you date, how much people step up to you saying how good looking you are and all these external and trivial things. after awhile, people will think something is up with you or that you're just a sad person.

hell, i would rather take a person with low self esteem. at least, you can help them out and guide them in the right path. someone who's has a high level of self esteem more than likely will not listen to you when you're telling them something that they need to know that will possibly save their life. me personally i've been around a lot of arrogant people and honestly, majority of them felt they were god's gift to the universe where you can't even have a convo with them because their attitudes are shitty.

I think Stephen King is a plagiarizing hack.

 

[Kyanimal]

Arrogance is generally from very 'small'/insignificant people hiding behind trivial 'surface bling'. They don't trust, and perhaps even fear, what others might think of them without their exterior shield(s). They're usually insecure cowards, trying to mask their inherently perceived weaknesses, behind whatever "Flash" they can present.

Pessimists/continuous doubters, are those constantly denying ANY of the beauty that is within the World, themselves, or others.

Those with CONFIDENCE, however, not only recognize their own strengths, and weaknesses, but also accept, and even encourage, others to do the same within themselves. No pretenses. No comparisons, or "one-up man-ship". They're simply Themselves!

There's nothing stronger than That!

They're the ones that ... no matter what ...

Keep smilin'!!

If we have to take Drivers' Ed, in order to be qualified to get a Driver's License, in order to be allowed to drive a car, which also has to be registered, !

I think Drivers Ed should be taken a few steps furthur..For instance,many motorists of any age know how to share the road with large semi trucks.They should be made aware of the limitations (it takes a while to get rolling up to 55 miles an hour and they need lots of room to stop) and the space needed to safely operate a large truck..(sometimes they may need to may very wide turns to avoid hitting fixed objects) The same goes for motorcyles.Many car drivers are simply oblivious to their existance..

I think the same should apply to guns!

I wouldn't have too much of a problem with that.Nothing wrong with going over the basisc of safe gun handling,especially for first time gun owners..Although,I have questions about how that would work..Is this something that you think should be required each time a new gun is purchased or would it be a one shot deal that covers someone for life?

I don't like Chipotle.

I never tried it and it's unlikely I ever will..Don't like the way it rolls off the tongue. Then again,I nver been a fan of Mexican food..I think you have to have the stomach of a dog to eat most of it..Re-fried beans? What the hell is that all about..Looks like someone took a beer shit right onto your plate..Ehh,no thanks..

I think In'N'Out Burger is disgusting. And if someone has a problem with that... not my issue is it?

I tried it and wasn't impressed.The fries were ok though..

As for unpopular opinions,I generally get along with most people I meet.Many of my opinions seem to get me harrassed by the flying nun contingent here.Especially if you whisper anything about race that the flying nun contingent here finds offensive..

 

[guyfromNY]

I am 100 percent against eating meat and think that people who claim to be animal lovers are hypocrites if they are not vegetarians. I am completely against the death penalty and I think there is something wrong with people who support it. The following are facts and not opinions, but I will say them anyway,

I have never seen Star Wars, The Godfather, Star Trek or any televised sports game. I generally refuse to watch new TV shows unless they are established for several years because I refuse to get attached to something that might be cancelled. I am still angry about Models Inc and V...... thats it for now

 

[ILLBFIRE]

Adele is annoying.

No...just No

 

[jasoncrew03]

Oh, I fucking hate animals. All of them.

Say WHAT????!!!

To me, they're no different than the most annoying of young children but without the potential. I had a dog growing up that I tried to give away whenever I was the only one home - he was the most annoying piece of shit that ever walked the planet. And that's just dogs. Cats scare the shit out of me, squirrels are the biggest douche bags in the world (and no, I don't go to extreme lengths to avoid the little shits when they jump in front of my car - I hit them), all insects are just awful, I had a very bad experience with a snake when I was young, frogs are loud and obnoxious... the list goes on and on.

 

[jdcnow]

I wish wasps, bees, hornets, yellow jackets, etc., and that whole segment of the insect world would just die off into extinction. I'm deathly allergic, and scared to death of the fuckers. I hate those creatures with all of my heart, and was often made a pariah because of said fear.

 

[FuryOfFirestorm]

I don't know what chipotle is.

It's like a high-end, slightly more expensive version of Taco Bell.

 

[FuryOfFirestorm]

Hmm, I forgot to add Final Fantasy 12 to the-games-that-I-think-suck-but-no-one-else-does list. Don't know why I left it off

I thought FF XII blew homeless goats too. I hated the licence system. Why the fuck do I need to learn how to wear a piece of armor? All the characters were bland cut-outs that I didn't give 4 1/2 fucks about, the faux-Shakespeare dialogue was asinine, and the battle system made no sense. I mean, I can be several feet away from an enemy and hiding behind a wall, but it still hits me with a close-range melee attack anyway? WTF?

 

[SLOPPYSECONDS]

dunno

or call all males planet gay
ans all females lesbians

ans all humans wear tit caps
then universe cans see wot lot a tits live planet earth

thankyou

 

[The_Reaper]

Well, I'm a pretty firm believer in the harm principle. People should be free to do whatever they wanted, provided that their pleasure doesn't come at the cost of harming someone else.

As such, I'm pretty lenient about things (like hardcore drug use, though I don't use drugs myself) whereas other people would shirk away from making a statement about it.

 

[refujiunderground]

let's keep it real. 80% of people time is spent doing bullshit out of sheer BOREDOM. in other words, BOREDOM runs the world and your life.
