Here's my unpopular opinion:

I don't like "Rock the Vote" or any other campaigns that encourage people to vote. I think our leaders should be chosen by people who genuinely give a shit. If I decide to vote only because Jon Bon Jovi told me to, then I really have no business voting.

Che Guevara was a twat.

I'm all for democratic socialism but I feel no affinity with commonly idolised godheads of revolution like Che Guevara, Lenin, et al. Every other left-of-centre person I've ever talked to seems to look up to these people as a role model, a perfect example of how to apply socialist beliefs to government, and this is completely ridiculous considering the amount of crimes against humanity these men are responsible for. Salvador Allende was pretty okay, but then again, he did blatantly cheat on his wife (who died last week, by the way- she was a champion of Chilean opposition to Pinochet, all round legend).

Generally my argument here is that I am at heart a socialist, but I don't like any other socialists because they are doing it all wrong.

If Nelson Mandela was doing what he did in the early 60s today, he'd be considered the most abhorrent of terrorists.

That's a really good point in terms of it being the perfect llunchtime sandwich. i always feel a bit cheated if i have to make one myself but as a prepack it's spectacularly good. Marks n Sparks do a great one.

Just as he was when he was doing it in the early 60s. In S'th Africa at least.

Totally. Tuna and cucumber baguettes are my lunch time sandwich of choice.

the secret i've found to making the perfect tuna sandwich at home is to stir a little bit of pesto sauce in with the tuna and mayo then chop up some gherkins and stir those in too. Wack that into a freshly heated ciabatta and you're talking pure snack magnificence.

oooh I'm sorry, gentlemen, but 3 people make it popular!

I refuse to go before Leaky Lifeboat.

[[I'm sorry, but I don't make the rules. I just read what I'm given.]]

ohhhh and here comes the hook!




alright everybody, let's hear it for Team Tuna!


ps: deleter.
pps: by "Leaky Lifeboat", do you mean Glice? why do they call him that? is he packed full of sailors trying to fill all the holes?

your anger is misplaced. why be upset with revolutionary doctor Che ? Be upset with the fakers wearing his t shirts and listening to shit-ass rage against the machine.

ps: deleted for fear of being misjudged over my Vanna White enthusiasms.

pps: If i'm not mistaken, glice is nigerian for shit dinghy.

I'm a chain-smoker, so it almost feels like all of my opinions are unpopular by default because I think whiny non-smokers can go straight to hell.

I think MN is one of the coolest places, not just from cold winters either. I may feel the same about western NC soon too.

Western NC is great if you like mountains, illegal whiskey, and NASCAR.

I'm from SD, home of flatlands, I could use some mountains

not smoking is way cooler than smoking.

are you taking the piss?

Not smoking is being neither cool or uncool, just kind of neutral. Smokers either look very cool or just plain disgusting, depending on the smoker.

florida fucking sucks.

NO SHIT

when are you due in california?

i want a house in florida, an SUV and a wife called Taylor.

we can all agree with that.

Not do, stick it right here.
Well I been movin' down to Florida.
I'm gonna potty train the chairman Mao.

Well, I been movin' down Florida Way,
And I'm gonna build me the atomic bomb.
Well, I'm gonna hold time hostage down in Florida, child.
Ain't nobody, said ain't nobody gonna tell me what to do. Right here.
By this time I guess you've figured out about Florida.
Drink the muddy water in the Vaseline stain.
They be makin' tadpoles the size of Americans down in Florida.

I took the children down to Florida.
I stuck the dick down the drain.
Get that boy down to Florida.
Give him a switch blade.
Tell him what to do.

I've just been reading the drinks thread, and I thought I'd dump the following here:

- American beer is categorically shit. This is not my 'opinion', this is a fact masquerading as netoric. Obviously, real ales/ microbreweries don't count.
- Anyone cought putting coke into a half-decent whisk(e)y needs to stick to WKD blues and other kids' drinks.
- Bourbon just doesn't cut it.
- Neither does ice in whisk(e)y.
- I discriminate against lager drinkers (except Eastern-European lagers).
- Sweet whites or spritzers are an immediate sign of either a slattern or a ropey divorcee.
- "I don't like Timothy Taylor". Seriously?
- Cider is, was, and ever shall be the drink of violent bumpkins. There is no amount of re-branding something as a refreshing thing over ice that will dissuade me of the opinion that, eventually, everyone drinking cider will turn into either Adge Cutler or a rapist.

Ha ha, I went on the Anheuser-Busch tour while in Saint Louis.

It was mostly all about how much shit beer they produce and their new sexy packaging. Also they skimped on the post-tour boozing though I didn't mind because it was all shit.

What cider are you talking about? I generally drink either Strongbow (not a particularly good cider if it's served in the pub) or Magners, both fairly weak drinks compared to certain beers or spirits. I never felt like raping anyone in both instances. Also, all those flavoured ciders are nice, and not all that strong at all. Obviously if you are talking about that really cheap stuff they sell in your local shop it's a different story (White Ace etc).

if florida is america's dick, isn't it the one getting sucked as opposed to the one sucking?

sometimes you just can't help it, especially when the whisky itself is shit

I drink strongbow at the cigar bar I go to.

pics or it didn't happen

- Dance parties are almost always obnoxious
- College can actually occtationally be mind-expanding
- Livejournal used to be cool (or at least relatively interesting)
- Starbucks has some tasty products
- The New York City creative arts scene is overrated
- The DC metro sucks

I agree with everything except the your view of bourbon and ice in a whiskey. True, if you have a nice scotch one should have the discerning taste to not put ice in it, same with a fine bourbon.

Glice, what are the ''best'' (maybe i should say most expensive) bourbons you have drank?

It may be a hassle to seek these out, but if you happen to see any of these at your liquor shop or pub, think about purchasing a taste:
Four Roses Small batch
Blantons
Woodford Reserve
Bookers
Knob Creek
Bulleit

try telling my girlfriend that...

I agree. Nobody should put ice with a fine whiskey but it's sort of necessary with a mediocre one. Also, there are indeed some really great bourbons. The only one I've tried on your list is Knob Creek, which i really liked. Another one i really like though is Old Charter. And while I'm at it, people can sneer all they like but there really are few nicer drinks than a JD and coke.

harry potter can eat a bag of dicks

Although I agree with the beginning of the Churchill quote, "“It has been said that democracy is the worst form of government except all the others that have been tried," I am not convinced of the exception.

That's not to say I'm a libertarian. I distrust that, as well.

Being wonderfully pleasant and agreeable isn't sexy to hot women. That's how waiters or doormen behave, and I've never seen a woman leave with one of those. But only an idiot would think the solution is to do the exact opposite and act like an asshole. If you meet a woman, act rude to her, and if she sleeps with you, expect an emotional breakdown several minutes later and 75 voicemails after you finally get the crazy bitch and her daddy issues out of your home. Lonely masturbation wins over that any day, even if someone catches you.
