I wouldn't visit America because I can stand their security and police agencies and I fear for my own freedom.

[–]Forensicunit 2 ポイント3 ポイント 前

Come visit. PM me and I'll take you on a ride along. 99% of cops are totally cool people who happen to work in law enforcement.

[–]AlekRivard 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

The other 1% are also cool, but they don't work in law enforcement.

[–]CarbonPrevails[🍰] 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

Can you elaborate on this?

[–]H37man 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

Where do you live?

[–]qwr1 5 ポイント6 ポイント 前

Democracy is fucking stupid.

Oh, you there with no knowledge of economics - how do you think our budget should look?

say, finance degree holder with no concept of educational policy - what is your opinion on the way we are teaching the next generation?

excuse me, convicted felo- oh wait, I don't really care what you have to say.'

Edit(s): spelling

[–]CruzaComplex 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

Order is the strongest ideology.

[–]gdiazc 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I usually just spend my culture points on more policies, and don't even start the ideologies tree.

[–]CruzaComplex 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

One day you shall see the glory of the factory.

[–]qwr1 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

Yeah, order in society is neat. Ideally we'd see a balance struck though, because freedom is also neat.

It's beyond me, but there is a system out there to be created (or even already in existence) that 'works' at some level for everyone - a triple bottom line system of governance, really.

[–]CruzaComplex 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

Personally I'm great with Freedom up until the point that capitalism and freedom start to not like going to the same parties. When corporations get the same or more rights than an individual, I'd honestly prefer a more solidified government structure.

That all said, my original comment was a Civ 5 reference.

[–]Dearthaireacha 5 ポイント6 ポイント 前

I fully support the death penalty.

[–]AlekRivard 2 ポイント3 ポイント 前

Not sure if I should upvote or downvote; I do completely disagree, but that makes it relevant and accurate based on the question...

[–]chrigod[🍰] 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

To be honest there are two reasons I disagree with the death penalty: 1) I feel the risk of ending the life of someone who has been wrongfully convicted is too high. If someone was to be proven innocent and they were still in jail they can be released. If they're already dead it's a bit late. 2) For some people I believe the death penalty would almost be too lenient. If they die they get release. If they are simply locked away they have to face what they did.

Regardless your opinion doesn't offend me.

[–]ganjacity 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

i completely agree with you. yeah most people on reddit definitely don't support it...... Although I only support it for crimes such as 1st degree murder or the like.

[–]thermidorian [score hidden] 前

I am mixed on the death penalty. On the one hand, I sometimes ask "What kind of society are we if we don't execute people who do (Horrible crime x)?" And I think certain people need to be removed from our society and our planet.

On the other hand, the capital punishment system in our country is terrible. It is very difficult to ensure 100% that someone is guilty and it is incredibly expensive for the courts to manage it. People don't seem to realize that because of the appeals and the lawyers, putting someone to death is more expensive than putting them away for the rest of their life.

So from a moral/ emotional standpoint, I agree with you. From a practical/ financial standpoint, I disagree.

[–]AKnightAlone 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

As a humanist, I've recently come to realize I'm almost 100% against the death penalty. Prison should not be for any sort of drug use or prostitution, or anything that involves personal choice. Prison should specifically be for the types of people who appear deserving of the death penalty. That's the whole point of prison.

We lock people up for personal choices and stupid accidents all the time, meanwhile we have nothing like a basic income to disincentivize crime. In fact, drug illegality feeds the black market. It's a great choice for the poor. Get caught and now you have a place to live and socialized care. If you don't get caught you make fast money.

Innocent people can be given the death penality. The only case that I would say it's deserving is if someone attacks or kills people in prison and on camera.

I'm ok with abortions, I think both parents need to agree, man and woman (or wtf ever combo 2014 can toss up). The thing is though, abortion is murder and you literally condone the murder of your unborn baby.

But like I said I'm all for abortions let's just call it what it is.

[–]yewnique 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

In a Utopian world we wouldn't need privacy. Governments would be reading our emails and looking at our porn prefs and we wouldn't care. Though this is in my version of a utopian world and probably wouldn't be most of reddits.

[–]mafigliano 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

I think religion should be outlawed for children under sixteen.

[–]Mad_Hatter_Bot 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

What about bar mitzvahs though?

[–]Im-That-Dude 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

I hope you realize sharing your unpopular opinions on a thread made for unpopular opinions isn't gonna prevent you from getting down voted.

[–]Molochkwalker 3 ポイント4 ポイント 前

I think the issue of abortion and the definition of life is very subjective, and it's not evil, backwards or old fashioned of someone to think that abortion is wrong. I don't think it's wrong, but I understand see why some people do.

[–]AlekRivard 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

While I do support our soldiers, I do not agree with our recent wars.

[–]AKnightAlone 2 ポイント3 ポイント 前

Uh, that's not a politically incorrect opinion.

[–]AlekRivard 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I know, but growing up in a highly conservative area, as a liberal, makes some people go crazy at comments like that.

[–]AKnightAlone 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I suppose you're right about that.

[–]CruzaComplex 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I think you misinterpreted the "most redditors would be offended by" part.

[–]AlekRivard 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

The area I grew up in was highly conservative; some people were upset by comments such as mine.

[–]CruzaComplex 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I am sorry for your loss. Welcome to the internet, friend. Have a waffle.

[–]AlekRivard 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

Haha, thanks, but I don't live in that area anymore; I am amongst my own! :)

[–]GhostHandz [score hidden] 前

Which is odd, because I typically see Redditors referencing how not-so-great military personnel are.

[–]theblondness 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I'm against abortion. Strongly.

Feminism is a misandrist hate movement which supports female superiority, not equality, and dehumanizes men and boys.

[–]enitnepres 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I believe that the black societies problems lie in the fact that they were given too much freedom at once too quickly which led to confusion and scattering of ideals. I believe that black women can fully control black men to the point black women don't even need a man to provide or help raise a family, thus making black men stay rebellious and angry because men as a basic creature only want a good woman and a family. I believe the government gives too much freedom to black women and men compared to making them work for it. Every ghetto imaginable is the by product of government funding and caters to specific colors due to low income based housing. Every city with federal or state housing always ends up with that area looking the same. Black people need challenge, they need structure and rules to unite as a people as stop tearing themselves apart until they learn to govern themselves as a whole. Too many black men go unneeded.

[–]KIND_DOUCHEBAG 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

Are you a troll or do you just have absolutely no idea what you are talking about?

[–]enitnepres -1 ポイント0 ポイント 前

The third option.

[–]H37man 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

I agree it has nothing to do with hundreds of years of slavery and hundreds of years of segregation which created a second class impoverished minority. Nope the problem is we gave them to much freedom. That has to be it. To much freedom. We should probably round them up and separate them from the white man so they do not bring us down.

[–]enitnepres 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

I'm fairly certain we shouldn't do what you suggest. You're going a little far aren't you? Imposing segregation and such is wrong.

[–]localhost87 -1 ポイント0 ポイント 前

Just an observation.

I used to look for logical answers that included the words "all", "always", "every time" like yours. It took me awhile, but I finally figured out that outside of science/math those words should pretty much never be used when determining policies or trying to explain history.

Logical absolutes generally do not belong in history or policy. We search for them as part of our human nature, but they are rarely accurate.

[–]H37man -1 ポイント0 ポイント 前

I believe anyone who is in favor of eugenics should be rounded up and executed on live T.V. Especially if they mention it in the thread which is bound to have happened by time I have finished typing this.

[–]CruzaComplex 4 ポイント5 ポイント 前

If you are a parent and you beat a child until he/she is crippled, you're a bad parent and a criminal.

If you have a massively debilitating disease that you know full and well is genetically inherited, but you have a child anyway, and as a result the child is disabled for life- that's apparently kosher.

To me, that's absolute bullshit. I don't openly advocate cutting people's testes/uterus out, but how can you as a parent claim to love someone that you have condemned to a life of pain, misery, and if inside the States- likely poverty? I have a genetically inherited disease. I adamantly refuse to condemn my child to the same fate.

You're entitled to your own opinion, as am I. Just putting the other side of the fence's opinion out there.

[–]mattesenn 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

Where do you draw the line though? When does a condition become debilitating enough that you deem their life not worth living by your standards - when everyone will have their own unique stance on it?

[–]H37man -1 ポイント0 ポイント 前

Yea your side of the fence has been heard loud and clear. Kill or sterilize the undesirables.

[–]marc070 [score hidden] 前

Why exactly do you feel this way? I'm just curious. And btw, I'm COMPLETELY in favor of eugenics, and I actually approve of Hitler killing those who were genetically inferior (although I DO NOT approve of his killing of innocent Jews and Gypsies who were already productive citizens). I want to hear your side of the fence.

[–]CruzaComplex 0 ポイント1 ポイント 前

Exactly! Glad you understand, friend.

[–]weltallica 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前

I'm glad Detroit is a bankrupt ghetto hellhole. Thousands of black thugs looted and pillaged, and screamed "WE OWN DIS SHIT NOW LOL". They got exactly what they wanted, and an entire city became a 99% abandonded, looted ghetto. YOU did this. No white man "keepin' you down". Just you. This was your time to show the world what black people could do, united, in a city all their own... but suprise, suprise; Ghetto City.

But YOU, liberal Reddit reader, think it's okay when you're the good employee of a scumbag manager, you quit, and laugh as the company dives and burns under his watch, without you. Because that's totally different.

[–]TheConstipatedSnake 3 ポイント4 ポイント 前

Breaking Bad is a terrible television show. Shakespere was a terrible play-wright. Liberals are just as bad as Conservatives. Suicide is a viable option. The NSA is justified in its spying tactics and techniques. Marijuana's health risks are greater than the benefits for a vast majority of users. Take your pick

[–]WORSHIPS_THE_DEVIL 1 ポイント2 ポイント 前
