OT: Confess your unpopular opinions

Submitted by JeepinBen on

A couple days ago a hashtag made the rounds on twitter that implored users to share opinions they have that aren't the most popular. We've had some quality confession threads in these parts before:

(That one about songs you like but are embarrased about that I can't find)

so let's hear it. What do you believe despite knowing that it's not a popular opinion? Team related or otherwise (yes, many people will want to retain Borges. Be creative).

I'll go first: I really enjoy a good black bean burger and frequently order them rather than beef burgers.

I like Tina Turners music.. that raspy voice grabs me and forces me to suspend the scan feature on my radio. Mike Valenti is right on majority of topics but I think they intentionally screen out knowledgeable and realistic Michigan fans... People who advertise how far they run with stickers in the rear windows of their cars are the most useless people around.... I am not discrediting people who enjoy running.. I have buddies who do iron man triathlons and you wouldn't know it by looking at the rear of their car. I just believe there is scientific proof that people who openly advertise how far and how much they enjoy running exhibit the most fraudulent characteristics in the human species. Thanks for starting this thread.. I feel better now.

I can't upvote (yet) so just consider this my personal statement of endorsement for the following:

 

"People who advertise how far they run with stickers in the rear windows of their cars are the most useless people around.... I am not discrediting people who enjoy running.. I have buddies who do iron man triathlons and you wouldn't know it by looking at the rear of their car.

- Filet 'o Fish is the unsung hero of fast food sandwiches.
- If you think Sam Adams is a craft brewer, you need to seek new adventures.
- Greg Mattison is a good coach, but the whole ZOMG he coached Ray Lewis, Ed Reed thing is overplayed.
- People who only listen to the same music they listened to in college, claiming there is nothing good out there today, are simply lazy.
- Lloyd Carr was a decent coach who won a national title because he had the extreme fortune of landing a once-in-a-program athlete in Charles Woodson.
- I find many Diary posts on the board completely pointless. Adding more charts and graphs doesn't help a bad post.
- Magnum PI is one of the most underrated TV series ever.
- Don't understood appeal of the Fast and Furious movies.
- The whole "We are ND" is a joke that isn't funny any more. The suggestion we are a second tier team in a second tier conference is becoming more difficult to dispute.

I agree with most of the above, especially the notion that Sam Adams is craft beer, and the underreated qualities of the fillet o fish.

But if you think one player, even of the Woodson caliber, is respnosible for elevating a good team to national title winner, you are crazy. Woodson was a great player on a great defense, which was accompanied by an above-average offense. Put Law or Hall in there for Woodson, and they would have still won the title.

global warming, you are choosing to be ignorant so you can consume more now and leave less for future generations.

I love "jam bands."  They run musical circles around most other pop/rock musicians.  Phish destroys all.

I don't like pets. Dogs smell bad and lick your face after licking poo. Quinoa is delicious but I feel guilty for ruining the ancient Andean diet (they sell their quinoa at a profit and then eat junk food). Lots of parents make bad choices for their kids, but I, of course, do not. Too many people worship the cult of Bo and we need to get past that.

I love Janes Addiction but can't stand "Been Caught Stealing" and can hardly tolerate "Jane Says".   I turn the station when they come on. 

Adam Sandler movies suck.   

Craft beer is overrated and my friends who obsess about it aggravate the shit out of me. 

I prefer having a cat as a pet over a dog.

I'm from Cailfornia and I hate In-n-out.  The fries taste like styrofoam and the burgers are worse than McDonalds'.
 
I pee sitting down and don't get what the big deal is--sitting is more comfortable, i don't have to aim, there's no mess, and there's no splatter.
 
I don't like chocolate.
 
I don't acquire tastes, the concept of eating/drinking somethign disugsting until it tastes good is just stupid to me.  Beer is disgusting, all other alcohol that isn't masked by sugar is disgusting, coffee is disgusting.
 
I don't like any pro sports, they have no heart and no soul.
 
I'm glad I'm allergic to cats and dogs, it gives me an excuse to not have pets which I feel are dirty, expensive, and needy.
 
Smart phones are a waste of money.
 
I always root for MSU and OSU when theyre playing out of conference.  ND i want to go winless every year.
 
And now, since political and religious ones seem allowed (feel free to delete if not), for the most inflammatory ones:
 
All Democrats are idiots who want to steal the money I work hard for and give it to people who are too stupid and lazy to take care of themselves.
 
All welfare should be abolished, people who can't support themselves should be forced into the military and chain gangs.
 
Technology permitting, everyone should be sterilized at birth and only have the process undone once you've proven you can and will take care of a kid.
 
Everyone who believes in god is a delusional child who is as foolish as someone who thinks Santa exists.

-Mark Dantonio is the best head coach in the Big 10. Also, Kirk Ferentz is a great head coach and would do amazing things at a school where he had a chance of landing big-time recruits.

-Greg Mattison is overrated as a defensive coordinator. He's good, but not worth the impunity from criticism he gets on this board.

-Anybody who rips on Michael Bay movies is just doing it to sound like a film buff. His movies are extremely entertaining. Every Terrance Malick movie other than Badlands is TERRIBLE. 

-I agree with earlier posters that calling Ohio State "Ohio" sounds contrived and also extremely petty. We get it, we don't like Ohio State. We aren't children. Let's knock off the idiocy.

-I like Cris Collinsworth as a color commentary guy on Sunday Night Football, even though the cool thing to do is to bash him.

-Nick Saban is the best coach in the history of college football.

-The NBA is unwatchable trash and has been since the mid-90's.

Kate Upton is not pretty, has a gross lip mole, has no hips, has no ass, is knock-kneed & is a shitty dancer.

Most guys have a hard time seeing past her tits.
