Well here is my few….
-I think that North Korea is more powerful than they want us to believe. Maybe even a secret superpower.

-I'm a graphics snob. I don't believe that I shouldn't fork over 30$ for last-gen looking games or over 100$ for a last gen spec wise console. That's why I own a PC and Wii U.

-Although this year was the 75th Anniversary for Batman, I getting sick of him. DC needs to branch out with it's heroes and give bats a break.

-As a ProGGer, I do agree on some of the AntiGGers points. Gaming is getting more diverse and it needs to include more character diversity in games.

-Sonic isn't a dead franchise. Althogh he has had a few bumps in the road, he has had great games through the years.

-The internet sensation with Shrek was annoying. I hope the "Shrek is love, Shrek is life" meme is gone in 2015.

-I don't care if Ash is still 10. Bart Simpson has been 9 for over decades and Peter Pan has been a little boy forever.
It shouldn't be up for speculation why he still is a decade old.

I agree with you in all except for North Korea.

I don't care how 'confused' you are, I'm not conforming my language to match some 'special snowflake' bullshit.

-Sonic isn’t a dead franchise. Althogh he has had a few bumps in the road, he has had great games through the years.

Sonic itself, in my opinion, hasn't been a dead franchise since Unleashed was released. It's the fanbase that makes you think it's a dead franchise.

It is now where I stop giving 2 shits that you're anti-GG and I just wanna give you a hug now.
God, that fanbase is so goddamn annoying, and anytime a small bump in the road comes up suddenly its all over for the blue hedgehog.

Not they, them, etc.?

I honestly want to agree with the SJWs on the current racial issues, but they (for the most part) take it too far like they always do and I feel alone in the entire issue. I have literally seen "white cis scum" used completely seriously. (What does cis mean, anyway?) However, I do believe Mike Brown engaged the cop first, and that the cop used lawful force. At the same time, strangling Eric Garner was completely unnecessary (if he was really selling illegal cigs he should've simply been handcuffed and taken to a station) and is a shining example of police brutality. I think the majority of Ferguson protesters are morons, but at the same time question the authenticity Antonio Martin having a gun and think it was planted at the scene.

Yes, the lives of innocent people of all races, nationalities, and creeds do matter. No, you can not act the way you currently are about it. WHITE IS A RACE, NOT A CULT OF OPPRESIVE RACIST MISOGYNISTS BENT ON MAKING THEMSELVES THE MASTER RACE. YOUR RACE SHOULD BE A BIOLOGICAL FACT AND NOTHING MORE.

[takes deep breaths]

This happens in music as well. White artists are allowed to make hip-hop music. Black artists are allowed to make country music. There is nothing saying they legally can't. White athletes can play basketball, black athletes can play ice hockey. Nothing says they can't.

In the end, my point is that cultural barriers caused by race are bullshit. Racism is obviously bullshit. Police brutality is bullshit. Making a dead man, no matter if he saved the world or destroyed it, your mouthpiece for your little social justice Tumblr blog? Their opinions aren't yours. Shooting a 12-year-old boy to death for merely having a toy gun with the orange end missing, ruining his family's holidays? Burn in hell. Fuck, how about good ol' Jameis Winston getting away with rape just because he carries a gridiron football team? I think dealing with a rapist and documented thief is more important than a bad season. Simply put? STOP BEING FUCKING IDIOTS.

Agree with me or think I know nothing, I just needed to let that out. Internet fight me at your own discretion.

I agree, and "cis" is SJW for straight.

Let that sink in.

- I actually think the film adaptations of Percy Jackson & the Olympians were actually fairly decent. Some of their ideas I think were better described in the films than in the books.

- I think Ash is a really good character. I like the fact that he doesn't always win his battles because the logic of the anime isn't the same as the games. It's more based on matchup knowledge than the level based system in the games. Ash's Pikachu does have a lot of experience under his belt, but if it is a Pokemon Ash and him have never faced before, they don't have the immediate answers right off the bat, meaning they'll have to adapt in the middle of the fight or in the next battle. It's a similar situation in fighting games. You can be used to fighting the same few characters over and over, but when it comes to a low tier character that you aren't used to fighting or have never fought before, you are going to struggle and possibly lose unless you adapt to the opponent and their strategies.

- I think Red is an overrated character. He's a completely one dimensional character, void of any personality or drive to make him relatable or likable. I know he's meant to be a character you can personify yourself as, but I just can't do it (but that's mostly on me since I don't believe in the concept of immersion). I also really dislike how Pokemon fans worship him like a god.

- I don't think Foodfight! falls into the film category of "So Bad, It's Good". There is just nothing of value to go back to it. Yes, the animation sucks, and the dialogue is painful to listen to, but it isn't worth it to go back to it. Unless you are a masochist.

Well, you certainly win.

Cis is actually a diminutive for cisgender, which means people that are not trans. The fact that some people consider it a negative label to asign to people is still pretty dumb tho

@Triple

Well, I guess I do mean moe. I don't know the definitions of these things too well, but from what I've seen, my problem is moe. Thanks for clarifying that.

On another thing you mentioned, I would like to discuss neutral pronouns. First off, I do believe agender and gender fluid people exist. I have no doubt of this in my mind and I could argue that if you wanted. Saying they don't exist is just as dumb as saying bi people don't exist. (But I do admit many people who claim to be these things are not) So, based on this, I'll just admit I don't agree with xe and xir, but I am still formulating this opinion and am really open to change on it. The reason I am leaning towards a no is mainly because I've never ever met someone online or off who is one of these "middle genders" and wanted to have a neutral pronoun used for them. I've never met one, which makes me doubtful about it's legitimacy already. One thing that makes me feel the need for "xe" is pretty much non-existent is that as someone above already mentioned, there are already pronouns for this before xe. Even though "they" can be confusing since it has another meaning already, it has still been used as a neutral pronoun for most for ages before xe ever existed.


@Angry-human

This! I can't stress this enough. I hate how this word is thrown around when people don't know what it means. Cis is a pretty useful prefix I think when used for differentiating people. It shouldn't be used as a prefix all the time though or as an insult. The people who do this are those who detract meaning from the word. It's a perfectly good prefix that is pretty necessary I think. I guess that counts as an unpopular opinion since so many people keep saying cis is a stupid and useless prefix.

This

This exactly what I feel everytime I see people bashing the Sonic Franchise.

I honestly don't give a crap about most of the fanbase. There's little to no one who should really call themselves Sonic fans.

And I have said times and times: One thing is if you don't like a gimmick or a playstyle in some of the games (Unleashed's Werehog, Black Knight's Sword Fighting, Colors's Wisp or Lost World's overall level design), you can't say these game are bad when they don't have any big issues and the stories are good (or at least, just not bad like in Shadow The Hedgehog or Sonic 06).

The only "bad" (That I personally clasify it like TheGreatClements says: "bleh") that has been released recently is Sonic Boom for the Wii U…and is miles far from beeing as bad as Sonic 06, no matter what people will try to convince.

I thought of a few more.
I think Transhumanism is a great thing for everyone. Nature left some flaws so why not fix them?

Warning on a touchy subject I think suicide should be a legally protected right. Assisted by doctors if the person wishes. No one chose to be born so it should be everyone's right to be able to end it if they wish.

I liked Playstation's presentation at E3 more interesting than Nintendo's. Overall the games they showed off were more interesting to me than Nintendo's. Though I grew up with a playstation then switched to Xbox so I don't have a huge emotional attachment to Nintendo like other people have.

-I think Nintendo fanboys need to calm down. I've gotten downvoted to hell just for expressing my opinion that I enjoy Playstation/PC/Xbox over Nintendo, even though I don't believe any of them are inherently better than any other. As far as I am concerned they are all on an equal playing field, Just don't enjoy Nintendo stuff very much.

Harry Potter The Chamber of Secrets was the best Harry potter game ever made! at least from what I have played and seen.

I didn't find the water temple hard in LoZ OoT.

I F-ing hate Mario 64. The Controls are garbage, even on the DS version. Camera is horrible, and every time I play it I get so pissed off even when I win I don't feel satisfaction or good because I felt every death was not my fault because of how horrible the controls are. I played through the whole game and never adapted to how horribly they are.

I don't think anything is too serious to joke about. I love dark humor and find its funnier when its about a serious matter. My favorite jokes are the one where people sigh after they laugh and say something like "thats horrible" or "I'm going to hell".

I wish more animes had a sad ending or an extra episode where the ending was sad. spoiler warning for Kill la Kill Like if in Kill la Kill they made an additional episode where Ryuuko was corrupted by junketsu and she didn't get free and she ended up killing everyone. I just like to see both sides play out, even if its not canon and its just like a nightmare she has afterwards, just would enjoy seeing stuff like that, not in fanfic form.

I don't like Yuri very much. It seems to me like Lesbians are treated better than male homosexuals. If a female says "Oh yea I'm a lesbian" or that she is bi, a lot of people are just like, meh, and move on. But when a male says that he is gay its get out the pitchforks and torches. I think WKUK handled it best with their sophomore sketch.

  • Pokemon is the Call of Duty of Japan. The only reason it isn't as criticized of rehashing as Call of Duty gets, is due to the nostalgia factor.
  • Egoraptor is a hack riding on the coattails of Game Grumps' success.
  • Awakening may have saved the series, but it is the worst in the Fire Emblem series.
  • Chrom and Lucina are the most boring lords to ever exist. Chrom is just a rehash of Hector, Ephraim, and Ike, with none of the development they get. Lucina is just a rip off of any other child of a previous lord (Roy and Seliph).
  • Roy gets too much flack for being "boring" and worst lord is due to him being in a generally more difficult game in the series and his late promotion, when Lucina is in the most casualized game to date and can promote at any time, due to Master Seals. Lucina doesn't get flack for her blandness is because she's peoples' waifu.
  • Tharja is an awful character. She literally abuses her child and her husband in the future. I don't see why people have her as a waifu, when there are better girls than her in the game.
  • Graduation is Kanye's "worst" album.
  • YouTube ranters are generally worse than the people they are ranting about.
  • Sonic was never a good series.
  • OK Computer is superior to Kid A.
  • The Beatles are vastly overrated and do not deserve credit for being the "greatest" band of all time, when there were far more creative bands, actually pushing music to its creative limits.
  • /b/ is the most cancerous board on 4chan and deserves to get shut down ASAP.

Here this goes (I'll probably get mauled by cats for this, or deserve death)

-Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door is an EXTREMELY overrated game. Full of rushed, and un-inspired design choices. (Do I really need to say anything about the backtracking?), and it's bland RPG cliches.

-I think Yoshi's island DS (And some of New island) where pretty decent. I blame nostalgia-brats for thinking it'll be their "SNES masterpiece", even though most complained New Island recycled too much from the original (It's kinda a paradox).

-I dread the Rugrats, It's just too childish and disgusting. Not to mention the neon colours hurt my eyes.

-The animation in MLP is Filipino made garbage (Not racist. MLP is animated in the Philippines, by Top draw. And judging by their animation mistakes, they probably care less about the show than people who hate it)

-I think old games don't date well, especially when you can't play them because they're so crudely designed.

-I think Mario Party is fun. If you don't take it in seriousness, that is.

-I don't understand all the hate for COD. It's just a silly video game.

@Patrish

- Oh boy I forgot about this one. I agree too much that Ego is a total hack. While Jontron does absorb lots of his fame from Grumps, I still feel he at least deserves the fame he has to some extent. Ego was given a front to shove his opinions down his fans' throats through his fame and spread them across the internet. Kinda glad gamergate showed many people his true colors even though I think GG sucks personally.

- About Pokemon, I think the games aren't bad, it's just I can't get into them. I do agree that they are the CoD of Nintendo though, even more than Mario is blamed to be. The rehashing is bad with Pokemon. I still don't really hate it though or those who like it. Just pointing this out.

- I think abortion is murder (common enough opinion irl but pretty unpopular online)

- I think the US should move more towards socialism in the coming decades

- I think people are too critical of action and comedy movies they're meant to entertain, they aren't supposed to be Shakespeare.

- Suicide should not be a right unless the person has a terminal illness, sorry but you are staying with us whether you like it or not, you might change your mind.

- It's hard for me to really hate any game/movie/music so I don't get why everyone makes such a big deal over such minor details.

Hmm, seems like nobody's dropped the megatons yet… Cracks neck aite, lets do it!

First off, the basic crap:

- Mainstream music as a whole is dead.

- Once earth's life sustaining resources go, we go. There's nowhere for us to plop down and recolonize without having to freeze out bodies for a several thousand year long trip, which isn't possible.

- Many, if not all of us love zombies because it personifies our desire to kill mass amounts of humans, but this way we can do it without having to worry about the guilt of taking human life.

- I know this is used a lot jokingly, but I'm serious. Dark Souls is the game that separates true gamers from worthless casuals.

- Furries are one of the few subcultures that actually produces legitimate art nowadays.

- Bronies are just second rate furries who have their interests rooted in a single source, rather than a broad array of them.

- The term "race" is a meaningless label that should have been discarded years ago. We're all the same, the only difference is our skin pigment and certain bodily features changing to meet the requirements of various climates and conditions.

- With that said, Jesus was "black"

- GamerGate has long since lost it's initial goal/meaning in my eyes, now it's just devolved into two groups of whiny people crying of the actions each other makes. And of course, those who wise up and decide they don't want any part of it anymore are chastised and crucified as "traitors" and "quitters" like it's a grade school game.

Now the more serious downvote hell level stuff:

- People need to chill the hell out over art involving underage characters. ITS A FUCKING DRAWING! The "morality" of it doesn't mean crap. Morality is dictated by the collective feelings of a given society, not whether something is truly right or wrong. Just because someone draws a certain subject matter doesn't mean they'll immediately go out and commit acts related to it.

- Human emotions are detriments in nearly every possible way.

- Abortion should be fully allowable. As is there's far too many people on the planet, and unless we're subconsciously preparing for a wide spread extinction event, there's no need to go up in arms over the death of a single, unwanted speck.

- I believe that a life sentence should be changed to a death sentence. If that person can no longer provide anything worthwhile to the world, they don' need to be kept around.

- With that excerpt above, it's clear than I support the death penalty

- Suicidal teens who are ready to throw their lives away over the most meaningless of things (relationships, bullying, etc) should be allowed to do so. If they're ready to throw their entire lives away over something as trivial as someone making fun of them, or a person they like not liking them back, then they're clearly not ready and have no business being out in the real world.

- The whole of existence is entirely meaningless. We exist only to propagate the species until the inevitable end. At the "core" of things we're no different than any other animal. It doesn't matter that we're smarter or have technology, we're all in the same boat.

- There's no glorious afterlife where we'll each get our personal paradise, there's no hell where we suffer for all eternity because we didn't spend a portion of our lives inflating a god's ego, and there's no reincarnation. We only believe there's a heaven or an afterlife for us because we're pompous, self absorbed creatures who thing we're better than everything else. (For what it's worth, this is coming from a still somewhat christian)

- Hitler_did_nothing_wrong.jpg

-despite how cynical i am i never really liked misanthropes. they get on my nerves, its like, if you hate humans and life so much, then just go kill yourself and stop annoying us with your pseudo-intellectual drivel.

-using casual and hardcore un-ironically is pretty fucking stupid, those who do use them will more than likely not get laid.

-as someone whose into biology, i can tell you that maybe back in the cave man days we were on the same level as other animals. But since then we have moved far beyond the rest of the animal kingdom. So much so that natural selection has little to no hold on our society anymore. Whether or not you feel this is good or bad is up to you.

-i believe unconditional love does exist. but at the same time i understand why it so hard for it to exist. Like you understand what that implies right. That means that THERE IS NOT A SINGLE BAD/HORRIBLE THING this person could do to make you stop loving them? to un-conditional love for someone would take a lot.

-despite what a lot of liberals (and some conservatives) might tell you humans are not going extinct. we are simply to damn resilient for that to happen. Not only that but with are huge jump in tech the human race could easily survive another mass extinction event.

-although im still going through college and i haven't learned enough to make me a biologist, i think the extinction of a species (or predators to be exact) will not effect the planet or even the environment that badly. We've multiple mass extinction events and the planet has done fine afterwords. there have been multiple animals that have gone extinct in the past century and the environment is still going strong. Despite what people may say the biosphere is pretty damn resilient. Now don't take this the wrong way I believe in the preservation of life and im against senseless killing.

>more than likely not get laid

- There's another thing, I really hate it when people use sex like it's a goal or rite of social passage. It's a means of reproduction, nothing more, nothing less. It's only because of pleasure that we make it out to be more than what it really is. What is this, highschool?

TripleA9000 wrote:

@sammy,
what your thinking of is moe, most anime after the early 00's started spamming the shit out of it, But before that anime looked really different.

I disagree. A lot of anime can differ slighly art style wise but in the end they use so much in terms of similarities, a lot of the "different" looking animes are just like the typical anime style but they change on feature. Either way it stills is really similar, where as western cartoons and comic books in particular can really vary, with some drawing more realistic (Steve McNiven) to some looking really wacky and anatomically incorrect (Jaun Bobillo).

Time for a big one from me.
- Despite the fact that I support GamerGate, over the past few days I've grown a bit… confused at how far they're taking it in the comment section. Now, I will say this, if video games don't mean shit to you, that's fine, I couldn't give half a shit. Its a hobby I enjoy doing and its a hobby that helped me not want to put a bullet through my head. That is why I want gaming to go on and become a larger medium, but the problem here is, they're trying to bloat the issue into something bigger than it really is. My question is; how does a shitstorm started by a heartless skank that lead gamers directly to the bullshit in the journalism industry somehow lead to a 1984 plot?! Nowadays apparently this 'Concerns the future of education'. I can already tell, that is jerking yourself off. GamerGate is an issue only important to the gamers that want better representation and those who want to see an end to all the gamer shaming that has been going on for the past few years. But, this isn't an issue everyone needs to jump on. Like TripleA9000, he's a gamer, but he doesn't give 2 shits because the issue ain't important to him and people like him. I'm just gonna say this: While I may be pro-GG, even I have to admit that the entire thing has lost track of its true goal and now it has just gotten silly.

I have quite a few i'd like to share.
-I don't find comedy's funny; i find them annoying.
-I prefer documentary's over other types of movies.
-I think of religion as a mental handicap on preforming justice, and science.
-I don't really care if people yiff; if your not going to fuck a actual animal you're good.
-I find sex to be a disgusting act.
-I believe that hate, fear and injustice will always win in the end, no use fighting something that will always be a part of what it means to be human.
-Love isn't indestructible.
-I dislike rich people idk why.
-I wish i lived in the Oryx and Crake universe.
-I believe that there is nothing atm we can do to stop global warming
-I believe that everyone belongs to everyone else.

Not insults here, but..huh?

"Meh" level of unpopularity
- Watch_Dogs was not that bad. Too expensive tho.
- Ash is NOT in a godamned coma.
- Bees are cute
- Burning crusade was good, but Woltk is the best expansion by far, cataclysm was awesome, MoP wasn't that bad.
- "Don't like don't read" Disclaimers are useless, how am i supposed to have an opinion if i don't read ?
- People who claim to have a waifu are really fucking disturbing

"Oh shit what are you doing" level of unpopularity
- It's impossible to say "God does/doesn't exist", rationally (FYI i'm agnostic)
- Every single fucking war that happened on this planet could have been avoided, and made situations worse than before.

"People are going to kill me for saying that one" level of unpopularity
- ME3's ending was good

-Hitler wasn't an entirely bad person. The worst person alive in WWII goes to either Heinrich Himmler or Josef Mengele (Slayer's "Angel of Death" is about him).

-(Probably not unpopular) Lorde is the savior of mainstream music.

-Sports games require yearly releases. They're for more than just roster updates (new graphical engines, new gameplay modes, new stadiums, new uniforms, etc.).

-Fallout: New Vegas is miles better than Fallout 3.

-Project X was a hilarious movie.

- I absolutely loathe how people consider Kefka the hottest shit ever simply because he managed to fuck things up. I never liked Kefka much, hell I nearly stopped playing FF6 because it just felt so goddamn boring. Plus, I always liked Joker, so Kefka just felt stupidly shallow. Sure, they built him up as a threat, but I never truly felt a desire to stop him until he fucked everything up. As for Sephiroth, yes, he is overhyped, but they developed him with enough of a purpose that I ended up genuinely wanting to stop him, not just kill him and end the game. I don't care how much people consider ff6 'perfect', I disliked it. Hell, I consider FF12 a more enjoyable Final Fantasy. This may be an Unpopular Opinions Thread, but even I can feel the downvotes incoming. But I stand by my opinion that Kefka wasn't so great, Sephiroth was a decent villain, and Kuja trumps both.

- I don't like pretty much nearly every cartoon from the 90s to early 2000s other than Spongebob in its early days, FoP in its early days and Invader Zim (I think that's early enough) There might be one or two more I can't remember but overall every single one I've seen is just weird, and not in the funny way to me. Again, just me and I haven't seen all of them.

- People who are gloom and doom about stuff are annoying [stares at SirBrownBear] Sure while it is kinda true that life is meaningless and there's no way of proving it has meaning, but we give it meaning and that's all that really matters. Like Triple said, if everything ia so bad and worthless why are you still here? Why are you posting on a meme site? Because you have given your life meaning and you wat to stay on the planet.

- Now, this is going to seem really hypocritical, but by human nature, everything everyone does is always selfish at the core. Even the most selfless things are to fulfill your own desires subconsciously. People are often conditioned to feel good when giving to others. Notice how usually when people talk about donating to charities or volunteering they always seem to mention how it makes them feel good. The sooner you accept this the sooner you can get over it, which goes with my second point. You should still continue to do selfless things even if deep down inside it is for yourself and you should still give your life meaning and go for it even though it's technicall worthless.

@Sammy

Just because I stated something doesn't mean I wholeheartedly believe in it to the point where I base my life and decisions around it. Also It's not impossible to be a pessimist and still enjoy life. I just see it for what it is, some choose to dwell on it, I choose to accept it and move on. I'm "still here" for the same reason as any other, to keep things going and see what lies at the end of the tunnel. Everything in between is basically filler to pass the time. My comment was mostly targeted at people who delude themselves into believing we were specifically placed here for some important reason. Plus I wanted to see how many johnnies I could ruffle since it's apparently a touchy topic.

You don't find a single comedy funny? So you don't like a single funny show, movie or book or whatever?

More opinions:

-Affirmative Action is stupid and counter-productive. It's also hypocritical.
-Bacon is probably one of the most overrated foods in existence.
-Naturopathy is extremely stupid and backwards, plus:
-The people that follow it don't seem to understand that many of the "artificial" medicines (that are actually PROVEN to work) come from or are made from things in nature.
-Opposing vaccines because they are "evil" seems almost disrespectful to people in 3rd world countries that live (or try to live) with serious diseases.
-It doesn't make sense to call black people "African Americans" but not call white people "European Americans."
-Poor people should not receive welfare from the government unless they have a disability.
-Although I hate pop music, I feel like it got a little better in the last couple of years.
-I don't care if you don't like classical music, but people that say that classical music is stupid don't have any knowledge of music at all.

A personal experience I had with the last point:
I once enter into an arguing with someone who likes a type of music which I consider the literal worst music ever (cumbia and regueton if you want to know) and after I said none of those "artist" can compare for the like of many pop and rock bands and specially from any classical musician, he said "Nobody listens to classical music beacause is slow and boring, and it doesn't have lyrics".

Thankfully I had a friend at my side to keep me under, beacuse I was about to pound him into the ground.

Yeah Brownbear that's a good attitude to have and when you say it like that I agree. There is no purpose in my opinion. As long as you aren't dwelling on the fact tha everything is worthless and don't try to convince other people of this I'm fine.

- Transformers Comics > Transformers Television/Film series. Love both kinds but I felt that the comics had both a better story and treated the franchise a lot better than the cartoon and movie series.
- I pick no sides for GamerGate because both sides are equally terrible IMO.
- MLP doesn't look bad but I simply have no desire to go into the series not do I have any interest in it.
- I find groups of people who are strongly against a series can be much more cancerous than the series they are against.
- Funimental Femminist (kinda) views on gender equality.
- Michael Bays movie are ok, but they'd be good if he'd focus on the story rather than using 1-3 hour(s) of SFX. (Otherwise I only watch his movies for the action rather than the plot)
- we don't need 1000+ softcore porn pics in any gallery please. 5-35 are as much as I can tolerate.

-league of legends is cancer
-behemoth is a pretty lame band
-y'all should really read a history book about hitler or something
-[some more opinions, that aren't really unpopular, but i'm young and need the karma]
-kill la kill (while being a good and enjoyable show) didn't save anime, moe anime saved anime (for me)
-fräulein revoltech are superior to figma

The last time GamerGate had anything to do with "Ethics in gaming journalism" it was still called Quinnspiracy. That being said it actually had a decent point in the beginning but lost reason to exist in the middle and eventually just became about fighting the SJWs.

What do you mean?

I mean this wasn't racism or police brutality. This was about an officer who was in a very very very bad position. Did Wilson need to shoot Brown seven times? Eh, probably not. But if this had been a black cop shooting a black kid, you wouldn't have even heard about it.

Agreed.

- I never get all the hype about Dragon Ball, Sonic or Pokemon.
- Slenderman isn't scary
- Taking a selfie isn't 100 percent bad
- I am open towards discussions about sex but I get too repulsed when it comes to sex jokes. Too immaturish.
- Japan is not that of a weird country.
- I don't see Deadmau5 as someone that people can relate to esp his ideals, rants or whatever. I also find him annoying.
- I think a lot of people agree on this anyway but having a relationship isn't compulsory. Just stay single if you want to and don't force yourself upon it.

To add some point @Sam's post re volunteering and donating, now that falls under the realization of if you're doing it as a hobby or as a kind of a business. So people better think wisely on how they would like to commit on doing this kind of thing in the long run because this is also what I can suspect as a flaw among "willing" volunteers (even to myself back then). Stop if it does not benefit you anymore.

I got more

- I like Dane Cook and Carlos Mencia
- The Lone Ranger is a good movie
- If it wasn't good enough to get an english dub, it's not good enough for me. It's one of the main reasons I don't watch anime anymore
- If white people can't use the n word, then black people can't use it either

I'm sure I have more to say, but I have to think about it.
