State your unpopular opinion *Mod Warning Post #'s 200 & 219*

[Jedi 1,865]

This may be an unpopular fact, but it's one that bears repeating. Remember that politics are a no-go here on LGW. Even if you know your political opinion is unpopular, it's still best to leave them to other places on the internet.

Back to unpopular opinions... I prefer cold weather to warm/hot.

I did not watch one minute of the game last Sunday. I watched the Puppy Bowl instead. Lots more fun.

I wish that Joe Louis would be renovated rather than replaced.

Smart TVs and Smart cars suck I don't need to be connected 24/7 and thanks but no thanks manufacturers you are not getting my viewing habits as advertisement data.

DDR 4 is not the holy g rail yet

Applebees and TGI Fridays are good places to eat.

Come at me food snobs.

[frankgrimes 1,836]

I hate electronical tickets, cards give me a some good solid paper instead of that digial crap thanks

Our TGIF closed down the other week..

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

We haven't had a tgif since the Applebee's took it over a few years ago, ironically.

But I ate at one last weekend.

They're fine for the price.

They're basically restaraunts for people too lazy to heat up their own frozen food, which is kind of why I like it.

I get lazy sometimes.

[Kira 451]

I've never set foot in an Applebee's and I probably won't. TGIF is okay, depending on what you get. I also won't set foot in an Olive Garden.

I love Popeye's chicken over KFC.

The Kindle has killed the written word. Not everyone should be allowed to publish their crap online for others to read in mass. This is why we have things like 50 Shades of Gray.

I will never be able to own a digital library of anything. I just can't trust computers/technology enough to spend thousands of dollars on movies/music that I can't hold in my hands.

None of us need a pickup truck. They should be specialty vehicles like ambulances for professional contractors/movers. You don't need one. "But I might need to move something big." You can have it delivered by a pro. "But I want to save money and do it myself." Buy a smaller car. "But I like to be taller than everyone else on the road." You're an idiot and part of the problem.

The NHL is a second rate league not because of ESPN, but because of the CBC. Keeping antiquated announcers and segments and loud-mouthed former players/coaches may be popular in Canada for hockey, but when it's done the same way in the U.S. it becomes annoying. We need more American LeBruns and McKenzies and less Canadian/American Eddie Os, JRs, and Milburys in order to be taken seriously in the U.S. When ESPN covers hockey for the obligatory 60 seconds who shows up? The same tired mullet with the funny accent and no charisma.

[Hack & Whack Rule! 160]

I can't stand when people think they can decide what type of vehicle I should own. I'm not a contractor and I don't use my Dodge Ram 2500, with a Hemi, for any business purposes. I do, however, use it for what I need to, when I need to do it. I paid for it, so it's nobody's business why I own it. Perhaps we should crack down on vacationers and the airlines.

[frankgrimes 1,836]

Windows XP still rules

And yes, Kindle sucks nothing will ever come close to the beauty of opening and smelling a book, printed magazine

I would not want to live in ND without 4wd. You don't need it all the time, but when you do, it's a very good thing to have. Although this year we have no snow, so it's not that big of a deal.

[jimmyemeryhunter 2,747]

I think it'd be way funnier if every car was encased in nerf foam...

Accidents would be hilarious.

But I give wings dynasty credit.

That is a vastly unpopular opinion.

[55fan 5,133]

There is way too much technology out there. That's fine for people who like it, but the rest of us should just be able to use the old rabbit ears to get our tv shows.

I just had to jump through hoops to get some stupid thing hooked up to my tv just so I can watch a hockey game. It's no better than it was before. It's just costing me more money.

[puckloo39 5,686]

Crossfit is a very bad idea and hurts people who don't know what they're doing. Cult.

Ribble rabble. Blahblahblah

SUVs and cars have 4WD/AWD. Pickups are horrible with 4WD because you have to add weight to the bed over the rear axles to make any difference with snow/mud.

I actually kind of like black licorice jelly beans

You are officially a parent. That's what moms and dads do - develop a taste for things their kids won't eat. LOL~

I don't want "winter" to end.

Anyone who believes anything an insurance company or elected official says is delusional..

I love black licorice and black licorice jelly beans.

anise.

Which still makes me laugh.

[Jedi 1,865]

I think now would be a good time for everyone to take a step back and try to calm down. This thread was something meant to be fun. But it's starting to become another avenue for people to attack each other, and that won't be allowed to stand.

Please keep to the topic at hand, which is to share your unpopular opinion (remember, non-political/religious, as per Forum Rules). While further discussion of those opinions is of course allowed (and encouraged), it must be civil or it will be deleted and the offending members subject to possible disciplinary action. If you really have to get into a bare knuckle no holds barred debate, take it to another discussion board, or at the very least to the PMs.

My newest unpopular opinion - I love the way gasoline smells. I don't huff it or anything, but that first whiff of gasoline smell...

[puckloo39 5,686]

ooh, I do too! Gasoline smell is only bad when it's inside the car, when I fill up my little red gas can for the mower... wooozy!!

I don't like talking on the phone for 'fun'- just chit-chatting.

[55fan 5,133]

I like it when people are talking on their cell phones when they come up to the counter where I work. It means I don't have to talk to them, ask if they have their loyalty card, or plus sell to them. I just smile, take their card or money, and wave bye-bye.

I also think that plus selling is annoying, but I have to do it OR ELSE. Literally. I had to sign a statement that stated that I would give good customer service and that good customer service cannot be done without plus selling. Stupid, I know, but that's corporate America for you.

Of course, we have fun with it. When we're waiting on a co-worker, we always ask something stupid, like asking a single guy if he needs tampons.
