Ive heard him described as a Jacksonian Democrat in the past and I think it's rather apt. I don't. Trump may have Jackson's bluster, but I don't see his commitment to policy. Trump is also a chickenhawk; Jackson was not only a war veteran (at 12 years old no less) but was known to personally beat down assassins. And duel his enemies (killing them, after letting them shoot first.) Jackson had a lot skeletons, but the raw charisma of his personality and political will is a lot different than the the inflammation Trump touts and spreads. I'll agree with both of you. He's tapping into the same nationalist tradition (that still somehow exists). But he's a fake toughguy. Jackson definitely was not.

Unpopular opinion: in countries with a good health care system very obese people should be taxed harder because they're more prone to suffer from permanent (self-inflicted) illnesses that are very expensive to treat. It would be only fair for those who take care of themselves but have to pay just as much as everyone else, and as a nice side effect it would also further discourage people from stuffing their faces with cake 24/7 resulting in a healthier population.
Also people who take care of themselves and avoid unhealthy habits should have to pay less taxes. In fact, I'd like to have it work in a way insurances handle it.
Of course, exceptions are people with metabolic illnesses that cause chronic obesity.

I don't think marijuana should be legalized for recreational use, and I think people who use it in that way are degenerates undeserving of any kind of help or aid from society. WEW LAD Do you realise how much money and effort is wasted on the "War on Drugs"? Do you realise how many people are clogging up the justice system just from marijuana possession alone? I get that you hate MJ, but if you legalised pot (with very stern restrictions), youd be doing everyone a world of good.

We can't have this legalized, it will become ten times worse. An even bigger issue is when these people start using taxpayer money to fund their habit. We either have illegal marijuana or we have a system of financial support for those in need. We cannot have both. It simply is not feasible. The weed users, the weed users are doing it. They do it now even though it's illegal. It will be everywhere if we don't police it.

I get that you hate MJ, but if you legalised pot (with very stern restrictions), youd be doing everyone a world of good. Not to mention a great deal of highly respectable and prominent figures use marijuana in recreation. I have a college friend who's a lawyer in Colorado who smokes the stuff regularly. One of the Mercury Seven, the first American Astronauts, Scott Carpenter was known to light up during the 70's and 80's (granted, he had retired from NASA and the Navy by then.) He was hardly a degenerate. So long as you're not letting your habit get the better of you and interfering with your ability to function safely, I don't see the problem. Personally, I'd say regulate the stuff and tax it; for the most part, it's a victimless crime, and potentially a good source of revenue for the government rather than a money pit from all the money sunk into fighting it and imprisoning offenders for it.

I'm not a weed smoker, but I was when I was a kid. I hate what it does to me, but I still support it being legalized.
If for one reason: I was also involved in gangs. And I knew Mexican Mafia. And these guys were relatively low level, but still... some of the creepiest shit ever. I almost got killed by one. And if you just legalized weed, you'd be cutting out all of these middle men.. up to the highest in the Cartels (although they'll still have plenty of meth and coke).

I think that people who argue for the law to be changed in ways that benefit themselves, should be required to wear red, shiny clown noses until the legislation is voted upon. Needless to say, the nose must 'beep' when squeezed.

I liked DA2.
Kids should be spanked.
The Australian accent on women makes me cringe.
Honey tastes and smells disgusting.
Most red haired men aren't attractive. That orange hair color just looks weird. There are a few exceptions such as Domhnall Gleeson of course.
Seafood is gross.
All women should lift weights.
Many more but that's all I can think of for now.

I don't drink and I do not do drugs, I did a smoke a bit of weed in my teens but that was a long time ago, and I honestly find smoking pot less harmful than drinking. I worked graveyard shifts at convenience store for a couple of years and I was always more weary of the drunks than the pot heads. I find it hypocritical for a regular drinker to insist pot should be kept illegal, when alchohol is more addictive and drunks are a lot harder to deal with.

I found DA2 enjoyable as well, to the point where I finished not only the core game but the two DLCs. "Enjoyable mediocrity" is what i like to classify that game as(Devil May Cry 2 is another). And the more posh sounding Aussie accents don't sound too shabby on dames.

I don't think that marijuana is harmful; the right most certainly is not correct in this case. Have you ever tried the stuff? I have. I can't say it's for me, but it's certainly not anything that's inherently destructive. And my buddy is pretty good lawyer; he runs civil law at his office, and he's never lit when he's at work. It's a hobby that he partakes in (legally I might add), and he's not destructive to anyone or anything. You haven't made any argument as to why cannabis should be banned either, just that it should be.

New unpopular opinion. Social media allows a lot of cancer in the first world to fester. Narcissism, materialism, stunting social skills, de-anonymisation, etc.
But it is ultimately of net benefit to our society.

Oosh, where do I begin fam? Let's start with a simple one. I believe that pop culture is making a big mistake by demonising the traditional family unit/relationship as a means of making alternative lifestyles feel more included. I don't even mean LGBT honestly. I'm thinking more normalisaion of divorce, polygamy (open relationships), promotion of hookup culture, holding off on settling down, etc. I think modern life has done a lot of damage to the social organisation (the family unit) that has been the cornerstone of growth for each major civilisation in history. The desire to "work hard and improve my lot for my children" is disappearing for more abstract "I need to make humanity better" or more materialistic "I want more money" motivations. We're already seeing it with the damage the Baby Boomers at the top have done for the futures of Millennials. Even on a personal level, the growing trend for baby boomers is to spend wealth for themselves in retirement instead of passing it onto their children. It'll get worse if things continue as they are. You make great points I agree with. Unpopular opinion: I'm a Mormon. Yes, we're Christians. Yes, we heavily emphasize the family unit. Yes, I only have one mom. Yes, I don't drink or smoke or do drugs. Yes, I don't drink coffee. Yes, I saved myself for marriage and so did my husband. No, I don't have horns. No, we're not a cult. There are only 15 million of us. Less than 1% of the world's population. That's definitely an Unpopular opinion. Another Unpopular opinion some of you know I have is I hate porn. I've never watched it. But I have seen it destroy countless relationships because it's twisted minds of the perfect body, the perfect fantasy. In truth, some porn is produced by sex traffickers who kidnap young girls. You never know if what you're watching is consensual. Don't fear me because I'm different. I love everyone and respect their opinions, even Unpopular ones. Please respect mine I love all my friends here, I don't want to alienate anyone.

I do believe there is something to a person's astrology sign and natal chart. Not that predicts events, but it gives insight to a person's personality.

Do you believe that the insight is to something innate? Or that it is developed within the person over time? In other words - is it nature or nuture? My wife is a Taurus...and well...I don't believe in that stuff myself, but for those that do, she'd be a poster child.
