There is nothing wrong with smoking pot, as long as it is used in moderation. (No, I don't smoke pot - I mean I don't smoke it anymore.)

Let me be so bold as to "re-phrase" your unpopular opinion.

"Mac users should be selling little paper flowers at the airport. They're all part of Steve Job's mind-control cult."

2) Widescreen sucks because it makes everything smaller
3) Bob Dillan sucks.
4) People who go to shitty schools then bitch that they can't find a job piss me off
5) People that are poor and complain that the government is holding them down piss me off
6) Will and Grace sucks

- "professional" wrestling fans should realize that really they're watching nothing but a soap opera starring steroid-built men in speedos rolling on the ground with each other.

What a fun thread.

-Spiderman was a terrible movie, I left the theatre feeling the same way I did leaving after watching Batman and Robin, "why did I do that to myself"

-Julie Roberts, not only isn't pretty, she looks like mr. ed.

-People should be able to do what they want to do with their own bodies, period. We do not need seatbelt laws, bans on drugs, have an abortion issue etc. People can do what they d@m well please to themself, as long as it doesn't interfere with my way of life.

-Cops need to spend 99% of their time on actual crimes, and less time, bothering me and other innocent drivers about my windows being tinted to dark, parking to far away from the curb, going 5 mph to fast etc. Aren't there actualy criminals out there, to keep you busy?!?

-Teachers DO get paid enough. Most have 2-3 months off a year have 8-3 hours, and a teacher's aid to grade their work & help them out. Sure you gotta put up with a lot of sh@t, but so do fast food workers, and you don't make a issue out of them getting paid squat.

-Banks and other goverment postions DO NOT need every pretend holiday off. Let's as a country come up with a set of holidays, that all businesses need to abide to, and follow. What's the point of going to work, when have the people you need to deal with, aren't working cause it's a holiday for their company..

-Kirsten Dunst is not pretty at all, either is Brittney Spear.

-NBA basic ball is unwatchable, YES even the playoffs.

-Athletes need to make an average american's salary. Example. Baseball is called "Americas Pasttime", let's pay 'em like it is. Don't know many making the kind of money they get for 1 season even.

-Suvs are dumb. Those trucks with the shorten bed are dumber.

-The music group Phish is terrible. Sounds like bands I heard playing in their garage in highschool.

-Jimmy Buffett is highly overrated.

-Dave Matthews is the soon to be Jimmy Buffett, in about 5 years.

I could go on, but that's enough.

I dislike people who don't say thank you after you hold the door for them. It's just rude.

I am not a racist. I think that all races are equally stupid and that all races have their fair share of sometimes true stereotypes. This does not make me a racist, it makes me a realist.

I don’t think respect is something that is granted with a high level college degree (i.e. PhD, MD, MBA, etc). Respect must be earned, and if I think a person does something wrong, I should be allowed to tell them that without them getting defensive about how they have a high level degree and therefore deserve my respect.

SUV’s are not evil. They are vehicles for transportation. I am a big guy and I can’t fit into a Suzuki X90. I need a big car. I don’t travel through the mountains in it. I drive it down the street, the same as the guy that drives a Honda Civic or a Ford Escort. Get used to it.

Reality TV sucks.

Windows isn’t as bad as everyone makes it out to be. You try writing an Operating System that can handle virtually any piece of hardware you plug in. Of course it’s gonna have problems, but no more than any other operating system of it’s scope.

Linux is HIGHLY overrated.

I don’t want to hear (or feel) your music in my car unless you are in the car with me.

Not eating meat because you don’t like the taste of meat is perfectly acceptable. Not eating meat because you think that the way that animals are killed is also perfectly acceptable, as it leaves more meat for me. Trying to convince yourself that by not eating meat, you will save even 1 cattle makes you delusional. Trying to convince me that I should not eat me makes you a self-imposing jerk.

Beer does taste good and is an acquired taste.

Very few bands are truly good. To qualify, you must a) write at least some of your own music, b) play an instrument well, c) be capable of singing a song at any time with a reasonably good voice, d) be conscious enough of your audience to know that you ARE potentially a role-model to them.

More people should be trained in the use of firearms and more people should carry them. To my admittedly limited knowledge, every country that has “right to carry” laws has seen a decrease in crime. This makes sense, as criminals aren’t nearly as likely to rob someone they think is packing heat.

All states should have a 10 cent bottle deposit system like Michigan’s. It should be structured in such a way that I could return bottles purchased in Alaska to a grocery store in Indiana and nobody would care.

Radio sucks because the people who listen buy the music that is played, not because of corporate radio.

Signals is Rush's best album

Hockey is the best sport on planet earth

Baseball is a boring waste of time

NFL football games are boring live - it was meant to be watched on TV. Their crowds suck.

What double-standard? Obviously you objected to the anti-Islamic comments and here you are opposing it.

We're sorry that as Westerners we harbor some negative feelings about a religion that deserves some blame for the murder of thousands at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania, not to mention the continuous murder of non-combatant civilians in internationally recognized Israeli sovreign territory. Ours is based on some real events while it appears to me that yours is based on the biases associated with some part of Islamic culture.

Your beliefs are revealing to me and I suspect some others here.
And I don't like this holier-than-thou attitude that seems to portray Christianity is the end-all of religions and no Christian ever does anything bad. I don't like how people blame an entire religion due to the actions of a fanatic. I don't like how people try to hide their extreme bias (like bhk sometimes does) by cloaking it in fear of terrorism. I don't like that people think the only way to deal with terrorism is with more terrorism (aka the war on Iraq). That's just some of the stuff I don't like.
