    humans are boring.
    i mean, they're mostly harmless when they're not harassing each other,
    but even that, especially that, when it robs them of thinking up and creating how much more beautiful and gratifying they could be making their world instead.

    i've found the safest way to deal with them, is to avoid them as much as possible,
    that way, you can avoid making them feel bad,
    if you can avoid their noticing of your avoiding them.

    whats odd of course, is the things they make are endlessly fascinating,
    but then, so are a lot of what nature makes without them.

    no. hatred and aggressiveness is making it disfunctional, distopian, and on the self destructive road to tyrannical.

    politcal correctness is a term that was coined to trivialize real morality, which is the avoidance of causing harm.

    I believe in equality of opportunity. Which sounds like a popular opinion until I realize that many more people prefer equality of outcome.

    dont let the liberals fool you into believing your views are "unpopular"

    just because the liberals are a bunch of loudmouths doesnt mean their opinions are popular

    conservatives won the last election didnt they?

    So Jesus wasn't a man. He was a mushroom.

    Interesting.

    if people were sufficiently considerate, no hierarchy would be required.

    but you can't do that in reverse.
    destroying hierarchy without first creating a culture of universally mutual consideration, just don't work that way.
    nor would anything be 'conserved' by doing so.

    you want squalor and corruption, destroy hierarchy, while hating logic and consideration, and that's what you have.
    'great' squalor, corruption, and dysfunctional, dystopian, tyranny.

    nor will any 'belief' save you,
    from the destruction of the environment your own existence depends upon.

    I disagree with you (should be no surprise, you are posting in unpopular opinions after all) but I appreciate that you listed these two statements one after another. With that first statement, it necessitates that one ascribes to a dualistic mind-body relation.

    The Beatles are overrated and John Lennon was an asshole

    Prostitution should be legal

    Drugs should be legal. All of them, but the hard ones should be regulated heavily

    Assisted suicide should be legal.

    Self checkout is awesome

    That's all for now

    True
    But I like Beatles
    George was the only one worth a damn on a personal level though
    I'm sure Ringo was nice, but eh.

    But John was insufferable

    They have a lot of good songs but the whole fan worship thing turns me off so much I can't get into it. My town has the worlds largest beetle festival called Abbey Road on the River. Nothing but cheap Beatles covers for a solid week straight. Turns my stomach

    While were on the topic, The Beatles White Album is significantly overrated and has so much filler on it, that it should have been a single album.

    Social media is worse than opiate addiction. People who are addicted to facebook get their dopamine hits from the red notification bubbles on top of the screen. Social media is destroying human interaction and ruining lives.
