phillyb Posted June 18, 2020 Share Posted June 18, 2020 Speed limits. Do what you think you can handle. 90% of stop signs could be yield signs... If people had any common fucking sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted June 18, 2020 Author Share Posted June 18, 2020 Oh. Understood. Yeah, I could see why that would be enraging. to be clear my unpopular opinion was talking about those big events too. dont get me wrong, i love BBQing, having people around, havin some beers. possibly my favorite thing of all time. dont feel the need for fireworks during them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I'm fine with the events. They're timed. We know exactly when they'll begin and when they'll end. It's easy to schedule around it. I used to give my dog a relaxer pill an hour or so before they started and he'd be OK. Kids can probably be kept up, or allowed to sleep next to a relative for a few hours (to comfort them if they wake up). Miller Time Timothy has no business setting off fucking mortars in his backyard. I hope he blows his hands off. Both of them, so I never have to hear sticks of dynamite going off outside my kids window again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted June 19, 2020 Author Share Posted June 19, 2020 I guess I can’t say I hate July 4th because it’s when I met my fiance but I just never got the appeal. People filing fireworks? Like why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunny Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I met my wife on a golf trip, and now I'm not allowed to golf. Life is fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

josh Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 The viral video trend of flipping pucks and twirling sticks is dumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keirik Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The vast majority of Police Officers in our country aren’t racist at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlairBettsBlocksEverything Posted July 2, 2020 Author Share Posted July 2, 2020 I might disagree and it still works for the unpopular opinion thread for me, it's not that individually they are all racist. it's that they participate in a discriminatory criminal justice system. And that in police departments as a whole, there is a culture of not ratting on eachother. similar to gangs who don't snitch. so those cops that you would say are good, or aren't racist, don't speak up against the bad.

Albatrosss Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 We are all racist to different degrees. People want to stick with their own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrooksBurner Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 The word racist covers too many contexts and is frequently overused, which errantly causes confusion among the masses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 I found myself listening to a podcast yesterday about this (it was The Gist, which I do quite like) - the etymology of the word "racist" has fundamentally changed since the word replaced "prejudiced" in the 60s. It's definitely more what BBBE's post cited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 We are all racist to different degrees. People want to stick with their own Unpopular opinion for your unpopular opinion - that's not racism. When one thinks that their own are better than others and others do not deserve the same opportunities? That's racism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
