Controversial opinions

Madmen is overrated.  So slow.

Interstellar is the best sci-fi movie ever.

99% of the trendy local beers are awful.

Budweiser beer is terrible

Allen Iverson is the best basketball player in my lifetime.

Butts > boobs

U2 is awful

Stephen Colbert is not funny

Lance Armstrong - while certainly a douchebag - did nothing that every other cyclist he was competing against wasn’t also doing - including lying about it.  Villyfying him is unfair unless the same happens to all the others, including most of his accusers. 

Strip clubs are stupid. It’s the same as someone opening a beer bottle, letting you smell it and then telling you that’ll throw your ass out if you even try to take a sip.

Mister Rogers was an American hero.

US Grant > Robert E. Lee

Most poetry is meaningless - not all.

Charlie should have thrown Grandpa Joe out of the family before moving into the chocolate factory. 

Jim Carrey isn’t funny. 

Neither is Adam Sandler.

Once again, Enya is great.

agree on Lance....he won all those races doped to the gills while beating 100's of other guys that were doped to the gills

The problem with PED's is it's never truly a level playing field.  US Postal had the best drugs, and being a team sport it makes a difference when you have the money to give the good drugs to your 7th and 8th riders.  And then there's also "safe" PED use vs. those who abuse them to get an even greater advantage (and Lance likely failed 1 or 2 tests that were covered up).

Also, Lance ruined lives with his denials and litigation efforts to fuel the lie.  Founded a charity built on a lie.  Just nothing short of the biggest fraud in the history of sports.  It takes a special kind of sociopath to almost die from cancer and then say because of that you'd never put any drugs or poisons in your body.....all while doping to the gills.

But it was a lot of fun watching him compete!

Roundabouts are great, people are just dumb.

 

Is this controversial? Every intersection should be a roundabout.

It is, it seems most people complain about them. I love them.

No debate from me that the guy did a horrible thing and may very well be a psychopath. I just don’t see why some of the people who raced with him and then accused him feel justified in saying he ruined them. In my opinion, the hypocracy is overwhelming. That whole bike culture was bizzaro

The US apends about 80% of education revenue on the bottom 20% of students.  After JH.....a lot of these kids should be pushed in vocational areas.  College isn't for everyone.

I like them.

The main problem I see is that some drivers don't recognize or know that whoever is in the circle has the right of way.

It's the same problem as merging on the highway.  Many drivers just fly in to the highway without checking.

Also, they may create some fender benders, but they help eliminate potentially fatal crashes from intersections.

Trump is a good President who has piss poor judgement.

I'm not sure he's good but he's not the anti-Christ  like some people think. I do think he needs to think before he talks or tweets

So you don't know anything about basketball. Got it.

IMO...this is not controversial at all.

We have our 44th President to thank for the 'everyone should go to college.....' philosophy.

When i was in high school they were pushing for everyone to go to college. I think it's probably worse now and definitely more expensive. 

Stringer Bell was a bitch. Relatively smart, but a bitch.

Scarface was never a very good movie and it has aged poorly.
