Your going to burn in hell.

Probably, but hey, Satan was the original revolutionary, so I'll be at home.

[JohnT]

I said "unpopular", not "stupid", Fez.

[Giancarlo]

I didn't know your beliefs were stupid.

[Paul Hanson]

Well, touche.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

I think that the Luddites were maligned heroes.

My brain reads the statement "I am a libertarian" as "I am a self-obsessed, monomanical pisscrane".

[GePap]

Fez is NOT the most annoying or mind-numbing poster in the Poly OT.

[JohnT]

You know, I really like the organ. I can just listen to Bach's Tocattas and Fugues all day...

[chequita guevara]

The brain is my favorite organ, of course, consider the source.

Let's not debate - that's what other threads are for. Just let it all hang out - those views that, for one reason or another, you just haven't been able to disclose yet for fear that all would turn against you.

I'll start the fun...

Atlas Shrugged isn't the worst book ever written.

But that's true, it's a damn good book.

Fez is NOT the most annoying or mind-numbing poster in the Poly OT.

He isn't Fez is cool.

I'm a Capitalist Objectivist Republican Reactionary, that qualifies me for a minority at 'poly.

I also despise Lenin, and agree with Richard Pipes that he was at least as evil as Stalin.

[SKILORD]

I also agre with all of Fez's unpopular veiws that he posted here.

[Kingof the Apes]

I belive most modern art is a sham.
You know, the stuff that looks like someone threw buckets of paint at a canvas.

[Verto]

I don't think World War II was a bad thing.

Microsoft is not the Devil.

Neither are guns.

Tolerance of radical thinking leads to intolerance of conservative thinking.

Religion is a good thing.

As Fez said, I think the American-Mexican border is in dire need of reinforcements.

An abortion is a murder.

The death penalty is not a bad thing.

Prisoners should be denied the Internet and HBO.

Jane Fonda is a traitor. Actually, I hope that's not unorthodox...

Absolute dictatorship is an excellent form of government, but only with Darth Vader in charge.

Feminists do not care as much as they pretend to.

[SKILORD]

i agree wqith KOTA too.

[Jaguar]

I have a Mandy Moore album and will admit it. I hate when people won't admit that they like music because it is unpopular. I do not like her other albums, or other singers like her, but I refuse to not buy a good album simply because it isn't cool to listen to her.

I hate social security for the old. Giving money to the poor and the handicapped is good, but being old should not be a qualification for social security. Many old people become disabled, and then they should recieve social security.

I am religious, but I believe that God doesn't exist.

CSI and clones suck.

TV in general sucks.

Civ3 and Black & White actually pretty damn good games.


I'll think of more later.

[Immortal Wombat]

The earth would be much better without humanity, humanity would be much better off without itself, and the sooner we can achieve this the better.

[monkspider]

Communism is the only economic policy a Christian can support. Not the bolshevik style of communism. But Christ's style of communism. Man living for his fellow man.
I believe that Jesus had a hand in the creation of all world religions that worship the one god.
I think Civ III is the best game ever.
I think Feminism has degenerated into a socially acceptable hate group.
Gremlins 2 was way better than Gremlins 1.
I think SMAC is generally overrated.
I think Led Zeppelin sucks.
I don't think Fez is real.

[Giancarlo]

Addition:

I don't think monkspider is real.

[Giancarlo]

Skilord, I am annoying but I got convictions which keeps me from being a complete Fez like person...

Damn it I need to cut this hair... it is getting too puffy....

[Provost Harrison]

Christ's style of communism? Come on monkspider, religion is a form of oppression, to get people to tow the line, to garner supplication by promise of eternal reward, making worldly suffering insignificant or even positive, which is very dangerous, and certainly not communist. It is another shackle, one that needs to be shed.

My unorthodox viewpoint? Most of them really. I am just hardline scientific, there is no divine truth, everything needs evidence. And this tends to permeate many aspects of my life.

Knoxville, TN is a boring place to live filled with extremely stupid and slow-witted people who wear too much orange. I know this isn't an unpopular opinion here on Apolyton, but it is likely an unpopular opinion where I live.

Hey Bub! I was born in Knoxville! Do you mind?

Here's mine:
The Confederate Army was not light-years better than the Union Army, they were just on the defensive more often at a time when the technology of war greatly favored defense.

The Confederacy was all about slavery, not state's rights. Read the speeches proposing secession in the various state congresses in 1860 and 1861. In fact many of the geezers ranted about how the abolition of slavery in the free states was a violation of their individual rights and promised one day to correct the situation.

The Confederacy was run by a bunch of twits. If left to their own devices they would have depopulated the South to satisfy their twisted sense of mission to spread the gospel of white superiority throughout the Americas. Southerners should get down on their knees every "Lee-Jackson day" and thank God that Lincoln, Grant, and Sherman liberated us from the grasp of that bunch of psychopaths. Jackson was an especially twisted psycho. Lee was a spineless wimp who gave in to his wife's foaming at the mouth rabid racism.

Carpetbaggers and scalawags did not ruin the chance for the south to recover from the Civil War. European entrepreneurs, who invested in cotton and tobacco plantations in India, Egypt and Turkey did that. In fact, the stockholders of the Suez Canal Company can thank the southern plantation owners for saving their butts by giving them the opportunity to increase trade between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea.

Guns kill people. That's what they were invented to do and they do it very well, thank you.

[Gangerolf]

abortion is murder (I'm not against it though)

wine is gay

religion is superstition

islam is the worst religion ever

the EU is evil

capitalism is bad

socialism is good

IE is the best browser

handguns should be banned

psychologists should be locked up

carter was the best us pres ever

[Dom Pedro II]

America is too lenient on stupid people. I'm living proof.

WTF did JohnT say PH?!

Let's not debate - that's what other threads are for.

Now, do you want some TROiLLet paper to wipe with?

[Sandman]

I have no problem with plants and animals going extinct that do not provide benefits to the human race.

I like factory farming, within reason.

I prefer forestry over bare hillsides.

I think wind turbines are attractive.

I don't care about languages and cultures dying out.

I think capitalism should work for the people, rather than vice versa.

I don't care about abortion, cloning and infant sex selection.

Coffee is revolting.

[ranskaldan]

Let's see.

Communism is evil.

Anarchism is even worse.

Religion is very bad for human society.

Christianity sucks a lot more than Islam does.

Democracy can also seriously suck in many situations.

The best system possible is a capitalistic atheistic polyracial semidemocracy.

(mmm... nice pyramid shape)

[Pekka]

ok let's go:

Jesus is my personal buddy. This is unpopular with in the age group I belong to. But I'm not super religious, or I'd be going to hell everyday. I just think he's a cool guy, not judgemental at all. We'd be hanging all the time, but he's busy, so we have just mental connection. He makes me smile often. And no, I'm not joking. And I think it's cool, my friends think otherwise.

I think alcohol should be banned. I've been dry for a long time now (cruice boat trip does not count). I don't like the atmosphere when people are drunk. It should be banned.

Some of the drugs that are now illegal should be legal. Mostly cannabis. I'm not a smoker though, and that's unpopular too with in my age group.

Also there can be no peace in the world.

I want to join some foreign army, so I could do some war, but at the same time I hate war and never want to go. But I'll volunteer the first chance I'll get. I know I'll come back with lots of mental problems, physical problems, if I even come back. Still I want to know it myself. I know you couldn't understand me.

[Kontiki]

Here's a few of mine:

Coffee may well be the worst beverage ever produced, and anything coffee flavored is nearly as bad.

I can drink like a fish, but for the life of me can't figure out how people can view beer as refreshing.

"Gangsta" rap may be the most detremental thing out there for poor urban people.

Americans who think that the US is the greatest bastion of freedom and democracy in the world and still feel that everyone being armed is the best guarantor of those freedoms are among the biggest hypocrites in the world.

"Democracy" in most major countries is a joke, and needs massive reforms.

I've met people of many different views, backgrounds, races, religions, etc, but still find it hard to believe that Fez can really exist.

[JohnT]

"Hey Bub! I was born in Knoxville! Do you mind?"

And from everything I've seen, you were smart enough to move out. I was duped into moving here, and my wife and I are seriously thinking of moving away in the next couple of months.
