    but, you know what, neo - you win. I'm done. I obviously know 'nothing' next to your aweinspiring copy and paste skills to throw up shill links funded by the GMO industry in several cases, and your awesome 7 years pulling teat and listening to metal. You've obviously done more research than anyone ever could, and haven't had to disprove a single negative, except to say 'nuh-uh!' plug your fingers in your ears and yell about it. Good job.

    my unpopular opinion - humans are a stinking foul blight in the planet, and the more time goes on, the more I begin to agree with agent smith in the matrix.



    only, there is no cure.. because we humans refuse to inconvenience ourselves for the sake of preventing overbreeding, of being wasteful of resources, of doing anything save except living like there is no tomorrow, and that we might as well party it up, because fuck the kids and what we're leaving to them, and fuck the environment, roll coal because you hate teslas.. awesome. can't be fucked to recycle, sure, we'll just dump all the waste into a giant diaper, fold it up and bury it for a few thousand years. plastic into the ocean? sure, why not.. oh how and why did we wind up with a patch of trash the size of fuckign texas, oh something must be done!!!

    but those of us that DO try and do something about it catch shit from the other people that would actually benefit MOST from trying to fix it.

    I can see why buddhists burn themselves in protest.

    'why are you lighting yourself on fire? ' ' I'm leaving you to deal with your shit.'

    I compost because I want to grow my own food. I grow my own food because I don't want to put something into my body that I'll have to get a cure for from the same bastards that made it in thirty years. I want to eat something healthier than preprocessed garbage.

    I want to live in a world with fireflies and frogs. both of which are dead here directly because of the use of GMO products requiring glyphosate and pesticide sprays. first the fireflies and dragonflies died. without the dragonflies there was no larvae to eat the mosquito eggs and larvae. then the mosquitoes came. and sprayed for the mosquitoes, which killed them, but also killed the frogs.

    we can fix this. but nobody wants to. it's 'hide your head, and it'll be someone else's problem.'

    I want to live in a world with earthworms, fireflies, and frogs and dragonflies. I want to see bees on flowers, because that means they're pollinating, and we won't have whole orchards not setting fruit because nothing's pollinating them. It means honey and beeswax candles.

    and it makes me sick to even think that if I ever had children.. they'd never see a firefly again.

    think on that. our children might never see a bumblebee, or a firefly. What happens when the redwoods die? what happens when every inch of arable space is covered with monsanto 1141 wheat? I mean yeah, it kills the pillbugs, but the pollen kills the bees, too. but that's ok, we can just make little drones to pollinate what we can, and to hell with the rest.

    we are a disease. period. and if I thought it'd make a difference. if doing it would magically clean up the planet and fix the damage we've done, I'd die tomorrow. For all the future generations who would have a beautiful place to live.

    but I'm only one man, and I can only accomplish so much.

    Wow. Another Hip Forums "friend" to turn on me since getting married.

    At least you have the balls to admit it though.

    Here's an unpopular opinion: Me.

    I am who I am. Take it or leave it, motherfuckers...

    did you ever think that maybe who you've turned into is the problem? That maybe the reason you're hemorrhaging friends is because you've become pretty much insufferable for the people that were once closest to you?

    but that's ok, that whole 'take it or leave it, motherfuckers' line says it all, doesn't it? after all, you don't care about any of us. you never actually did. we were just phantoms to stroke your ego and make you feel better, but now that you've got a permanent source of emotional nourishment, fuck us, we're all scum anyway, right?

    as for who you are? I'll leave it, thanks. which is a pity, because you killed the person that you were that I once liked. You're not that person anymore. Just an angry ghost wearing a mask.

    btw - an unpopular opinion doesn't make you deep, or wise, or clever. sometimes, it just makes you an arrogant jerk. Take it from one arrogant jerk to another - it gets pretty old pretty fast. One day, you're gonna want a friend, and that's not the time to go looking for one, because, unless you're /really/ lucky, those people you told to go fuck themselves are going to have taken you at face value.

    but as for the state of 'friendship' we had (I can use the quotes too) you were never a friend. you were an acquaintance. someone to maybe talk to if things went that way. someone who 'could' have been a friend - sure. but you hadn't made it there yet. and since you're 'not' a friend, I have no qualms about calling you out on your crap. because I don't have to please you or cater to you for fear you'll leave. I don't care, and your presence, or lack of, wont' actually make a difference in my life tomorrow. which is a shame, because it really could have.

    so in a couple words? go. have a happy life, and may you get everything you want, need and deserve, but do so far away from me. I don't /hate/ you. you're not worth that much energy to expend, and that I'm even bothering to explain myself now is simply a courtesy extended on what 'could have been'.

    good luck, and have a good life.

    No, because no one has ever been able to pinpoint the one thing makes me a terrible human being.

    Again, I'm all ears.

    I hate basketball, but I appreciate the attempt to defuse things. conservation is a hot button issue and some of use are a little too close to it. and I say that an attempt at kindness is never wasted, even if it's not always appreciated at the time.

    unpopular opinion - most american sports are ridiculous. (american football, for example. I can't see it as anything but two clans of cavemen fighting over an egg)

    give me jousting or hema any day.

    fuck. yes. that's a sport where you don't need a million dollar contract to play, and at the end, if you're lucky and good, you get cheese.
