One of mine is that women's sports suck. They're incredibly boring and it's because women just aren't as good at things like that as men and therefore are not as entertaining.

Another is that most people are poor because they're lazy. This comes from my up bringing though. I was poor and it was because my parents were lazy.

Try not to flame people too much for sharing unpopular opinions! What are some of your opinions?

Our president, tennis (it is so boring to me), and that's all I got.

I voice my opinion a lot, without being rude about it. But sometimes, its just not worth hearing other people get down right disrespectful about it.

Most of my opinions are unpopular :D
:D Same here. Views on God, Views on the birth of Christ, Views on Dog Training, Raising Kids, both parents working, daycare, tons and tons. They are my opinions though and are right for me. They may not be right for someone else and that is ok.

Well.........hitherto, I have not kept it secret, but I think I will from now on. And that is that some carbohydrates are something we need in our diet.:rofl1:

Okay, seriously, let's see....I would say that, ummmm....well, I'll come back to this later. I can't think of any opinion of mine that I keep secret. :eek::D

Yeah, there is very little I can think of I keep secret but rather don't voice unless it comes up in a conversation or I am asked my view on it.

I dunno, most people's are as 'bad' as saying women aren't good at sports as men... or that women's sports are boring. That is non PC in a way that I haven't seen from anyone else who has posted here.

Gay marriage should be legal EVERYWHERE. the fact that it isn't BAFFLES me.

Those toe shoes are atrocious and may even be worse looking than crocs.

I don't see the point in keeping snakes/most other reptiles as "pets". Do they even like people?..

People under financial stress should not be trying to have children. That's just selfish.

I think less of people who don't like to read.

I think Chris Brown should be ASHAMED and The fact that he still has fans (especially female ones) and a career after what he did honestly disgusts me.

I don't see the point of religion.

I think people who say things like " (INSERT CELEBRITY/ARTIST/MUSICIAN) SAVED MY LIFE/IS MY LIFE" should see a therapist.

I think people who post cutesy personal details (gifts they were given, things they said, things they do together) of their relationships on face book constantly are over compensating for their unhappy relationship/cheapening their relationship by sharing it with everyone.

I don't really care about sports.

I think smokers should only be allowed to smoke is specific far away from everybody else places. I think them killing themselves is STUPID but they shouldn't have to drag the rest of us with them by blowing their smoke everywhere for us to breathe in

I like Obama, and think, given the circumstances, he is doing a good job.

STOP SPRAY TANNING! YOU LOOK LIKE A CHEETOH! STOP IT!

I don't like this pope. He seems mean.

I lose nearly all respect for people who drunk drive. The fact that they think saving money on a cab is seriously more important that the lives of people around their drunk self is dispicable.

I think any adult whose favorite book is twilight needs to read more. immediately.

Long acrylic nails are gross.

Apple > Pc. always. forever.

I don't agree with letting athletes who otherwise wouldn't get into the university in, just to play sports.

Regardless of if Micheal Jackson was a pedophile or not.. I think any parent who let their CHILD take the chance and sleep over/ go to a grown mans wonderland zoo home by themselves is CRAZY IN THE HEAD.

People with huge hands shouldn't be dentists.

Orange is an ugly color.

Carpets are gross.

For me its:
gay marriage(should be legal everywhere), marijuana legalization, football(ugh),views on God/religions, gun laws, I like our president...that's all I can think of for now.

i believe more of the world, namely America, should adopt the drug policy used in Portugal. this tends to be unpopular in certain circumstances or around certain people.

also, and i don't really see how this is a bad thing personally, many people have a big problem with the fact that i would rather dedicate my life to helping animals and not people. i've been flamed a lot for this.

I don't bother keeping opinions to myself. I was born without a filter, and if I have an unpopular opinion, you probably know about it. If you haven't, its because the subject hasn't been broached.

I share all of yours Fran,but I always voice them.
I generally don't think any of my opinions are so distastefull that I can't voice them however I do find it hard when dealing with more sensitive issues....ie.Your friends or partners families.
There are somethings I can not hold my tounge about mainly people having children and not looking after them,sorry but if you wont I will,and if you don't like it then you do it,and if you wont then I'll be calling social services.
Or pets,I know two people now who have had.cats and dogs before,FAILED to give them basic care and then got rid of them only to REPEAT the cycle again.That REALLY is something I can not keep stchum about.
Also:
-When you cant fit into clothes on the high street yiu need to loose weight.
-People should'nt be able to smoke around children full stop.
-If you hang around the wrong people/do drugs/or generally do stupid things and put yourself in more danger then needed then I'm sorry don't coming running to me when your stabbed/arrestted/raped/robbed.
-People having dirty houses,people wearing shoes in the house.
.....hmm maybe I have alot :S

I'm a practicing Catholic who agrees with ALL Church's teachings, so my opinions on certain things are considered unpopular by many :) but I don't keep that a secret lol.

I don't like to argue but love a good discussion. When opinions are different, and both parties are open for a discussion & can be civil about it (i.e, not having a secret agenda to attack/destroy each other while doing so!) - it brings about lots of new understanding for both sides.
