Unpopular opinions that you hold

I don't think terrorists are "crazy." I think they are misguided zeolots, and I hate what they do, but I don't think they are "crazy."

I think when people classify terrorists as crazy people, it stops the enquiry into why some people could feel so strongly about (or against) something, that they would commit a suicidal act because of it.

Calling "terrorists" crazy is a western cop-out, IMO.

I think people who believe in god or an afterlife are dishonest with themselves, because I don't think it's possible to actually believe in god/religion anymore in a first-world country if you've had any sort of education whatsoever. I think these people lie to themselves (edit: consciously or unconsciously) to avoid reconciling their religious/theological beliefs with the knowledge we have of the world we live in. That's fine, btw--there may be a worthwhile self-deception. But I think it is a self-deception.

I think John Bonham was a 'better' rock musician than Jimi Hendrix.

I absolutely hate cocktail sandwiches. Not the taste, just the look of them.

Beer and pizza don't go well together. Before you say anything, I like beer, and I like pizza. They just don't mix.

Drinking and driving is far less detrimental to society than being an tired, incompetent, or inattentive driver and shouldn't be punished as harshly

Average looking girls at a club/bar/party who are being ignored generally are the most interesting and are most worth pursuing

A vast majority of the world's population should be sterilized

Turkey burgers/hot dogs taste better than their original counterparts

People who don't wash their hands at least 10 times a day are completely insane

Rap music post-1995 is terrible

In life, a person should have very few friends and many distant acquaintances

Virtually all drugs should be legalized and regulated

A person's success in the world is based slightly more on luck than on pure skill
