The unpopular opinions thread.

I believe in recreational cocaine.

How's that for a unpopular opinion.

I think Crowe is decent in films he doesn't have to carry.  Like LA confidential.   I agree about Costner, even though i like a few of his star vehicle films it has been more about the story of the film than him.

Agreed about a few good men, that all around was a great movie imo.

Wasn't it? And what Tom did was very well done, he did that scene on his own and Jack Nicholson wasn't carrying him through it. I was never a fan of his until I saw that movie, it impressed me, so now watching a Tom Cruise movie doesn't bother me as much as it once did.  (my sister and her constant gushing over him in Risky Business really soured me to him...ever have that happen?)

A fair point. But yes, the main thrust of the argument is that we should de-emphasize the importance of physical attractiveness altogether. "Everyone is beautiful to somebody" is likely a factual statement but one that, to me, shouldn't really be valued all that much.

That there's probably some stranger out there who might like how your face looks shouldn't play that big a role in how you view yourself. A large number of people or someone important to you considering you to be beautiful is certainly cause for celebration for people in those fortunate circumstances, but it shouldn't be treated as the avenue by which everyone seeks and finds validation.

If I were to declare myself unattractive, the knee-jerk, good-person response would be to reject that opinion with "Oh no you're not!" when, really, the response should be "So what?" I'm reminded of the South Park episode in which the boys are freaking out over a list that the girls made, ranking them in order of attractiveness. Clyde was at the top and Kyle was at the bottom and the way Clyde tried to cheer Kyle up was to say "Hey, Kyle. Look man, it doesn't matter what people think, okay? You know, Abraham Lincoln was pretty ugly too, but look what he accomplished. Chin up, cowboy." That's played off as a insensitive, cavalier thing for him to say but why should it be? It's a good goddamn point.

Now to be clear, I'm not advocating for that to be the approach people should take right now in those types of scenarios. The current social climate makes that kind of a statement come off as way too brutal and saying something like that can be very harmful to someone with low self-esteem. But I do think it would be better if society eventually got to a place where that kind of thing can be said.

Nescafe is better than Folgers

ok

I love Jay Baruchel's voice, it has a wry, sarcastic edge to it that I think absolutely wonderful. I like that it gives him an aire of defiance, I can't stand prim, proper or obediant, I like personality and his voice has it. (not to mention if my daughter has her way, he may one day be my son-in-law and I can't say anything mean about him. LOL the girl's been crushing on him since PMK.)

I believe in burning Drug plants farms. When you do it properly, there won't be any supply for drugs! 

Yes, they count as unpopular opinions, but we're not taking this thread into a 'drugs discussion' because of 'ProBoards TOS'.
Thank you, please carry on.
