State Your Unpopular Opinions

Just wondering if any American people would actually follow Hephatrump's advice and either drink or inject themselvves with disinfectant or bleach to rid themselves of Covid - 19.

The subsequent court cases from the relatives of those that did follow this advice citing Trump as a potential accessory to murder should provide some entertainment for months to come.

 

It's only a label. Lots of feminist men don't like to apply the label on themselves. You're still a feminist regardless! :-D

Is the enlightenment movement less meaningful or useful because it started among nobility? I don't think other women were excluded at first. It just had to start somewhere. After WW2 and esp in the 60s it included women from most 'walks' in life Maybe you can give an example of what you mean?

 

Conviction is often another way of saying close minded.

 

Stephen Miller is the Otto Adolf Eichmann of the Trump administration

 

the equating of human with sapient is the ultimate failure of the imagination.

 

I like this. Made me think.

 

there are lots of odd interesting things in lots of odd interesting places.
the only reason everything in every place isn't,
is because of so many people so seldom allowing each other to build that way.

 

Therapy is bullshit.

Sitting down in a room talking to someone with a clipboard about all your problems, insecurities, and everything terrible that has ever happened to you makes you worse off, and even more miserable.

If you have a problem, take action and make a
change!

Therapy is inaction.

Therapists profit off your insecurities and miseries. It is not part of their business model to make you better. They need you to keep coming back for more.

After WWI, did everybody who suffered the war go to therapy and talk about their problem, losses, and traumas is the war? No - they rebuilt their cities, got shit done, and moved on.

 

And what’s the deal with “therapy animals” anyway?

They are house pets for Christ sake

 

Not really. The shepherd club here has a handler that specifically trains GSD to comfort anxious people and they get those dogs for life and they're super drilled and behave and pick up on signs that their owner is in distress and then comforts them. They are allowed to go anywhere as well.

 

Fiddle solos are better than guitar solos.

 

Miracle. Didn't think that was possible. j/k

 

well it WAS a bit of a headache, I can see why the majority avoid it : P

 

actually i prefer flutes and electronic tone generators.
but anything that is overdone to where there's too little of anything else, is something i would prefer something else then.
come to think of it, maybe all three might be over done. maybe wooden flutes and reeds, its much too seldom we hear either.
and the human voice is too common too. some people might think i'm kidding, but i'm absolutely not.
and i seriously don't need the kind of drum kits that dominate popular music either.

 

Scientology is a pretty messed-up cult, but they get one thing right. The psychiatric industry is pure evil.

 

I know you well enough to know that you will not agree with me, but I disagree.

They are trying to help people whose parents were concerned. Often these are people that don't want to be 'helped'. They really have their work cut out for them. I can only imagine trying to diagnose someone according to a description of their behavior by a concerned parent.

"Ok. That sounds like ADD."

Man... i would never sign up for that. But they do it.

 

I understand that psychiatry has a purpose for the mentally ill in more severe cases. And I won't bother challenging that angle.

But the fact that most psychiatrists make their money diagnosing people with "depression," giving them pills, getting stipends from drug companies to prescribe these pills, and making these patients pay to see them once a week. When they aren't even depressed at all. They are profiting off of someone's insecurities, telling them that they have a minor mental illness that can be cured only by an FDA approved psychotropic substance.

Fuck that.

Feeling down? It's most likely a shitty situation, a bad diet, or a shitty lifestyle choice. Can't pay attention in class? Maybe the teacher is boring, and the subject just doesn't interest you. It's not "depression" or "ADHD"

No need to go to a doctor who is just as imperfect as you. He too has problems, so don't look to him as your god.

 

What I'm hearing now is that when the guys play the real fast fiddle in country music, that's all an electric guitar is. It's just an emulation of a good fiddle player.

Now I've listened to a few fast fiddles now and had my ears not been good enough to pick it up, some of it I would think it was just an electric guitar and sometimes I always heard the fiddle but also thought there must have been electric guitar solo but it's not at all, it's all fiddle. They're just riffin' away fast that they sound like they're hitting guitar strings.

It's memorising to watch. And I love all fiddle plays one live stage move, to crouch down down and stamp the floor. they all seem to do it before a ho down lol.

 

People who can't even adhere to the thread rules in their own threads and get them locked then come into other people's threads and purposely try and get them locked are just fucking losers.

 

Indeed

And it irritates me when people who prod at other members get upset and claim they have a mental illness like PTSD, when the member they provoke retaliate on them. And cry abuse to garner the sympathy of other members. It seems to be a commonly occurring act of cowardice and dishonesty
