Unpopular opinion thread

Yup.

Of course. I’d rather eat quality restaurant chips rather than from the fast food chains in KFC & Macca's.

This is a unique opinion that I have and I strongly doubt it's popular. But if the idea of doing everything with your best friend excites you, then you need to be a better friend.

As ironic as this may sound, I think some distance in a friendship is actually healthy and beneficial. I would even go as far to say that I recommend it. People need distance. And if you want to do everything with your best friend or even BFF, there's less of a chance that you get to meet other potential people that you might just naturally bond and vibe with. Yes, I like my best friends, but I want to meet new people as well. 

It's also important to keep in mind that I'm only talking about non-romantic friendships here.

😱

Omg I only just saw this post. My soul brother!

Sorry, but I very strongly disagree with you on that. Revealing the identities of convicted people is something that I would have advocated for in the past, but after the ordeal that my family and I had to endure over my Dad's arrest six months ago, I seriously couldn't think of anything worse. By revealing the face and name of a convicted person, not only does it have a negative, long-lasting impact on the person charged with the crime, but it also affects their family as well. I would hate for someone to have a negative opinion of me simply as a result of seeing something in the newspaper about a crime that one of my family members has committed. Thank goodness that never happened. 

If what you suggested came true, everyone would see me as being the son of a criminal. They would see my Grandparents as the parents of a criminal. That has NO reflection on who we are as people. Besides, things like that just don't go away either. It would be out there all over the media and on the internet, for the whole world to see. My friends would never see me in the same light again. What if I was applying for a job and the business/organisation happened to be aware of the criminal history associated with my surname? It would likely affect my chances of getting the job.

The rest of us in the family already have to live with the embarrassment and shame that a family relative is currently serving time in prison. Why should we have to suffer further emotional and psychological torment by having the face/name of a family member all over the media? We're just as innocent in all of this as everyone else is.

Back on topic. I don't understand a woman's desperation to have a child and disapprove of fertility treatment. Motherhood is a privilege not a right. The 'I must have a child' mentality is selfish.

The Foo Fighters debut album is better than the rest of the albums in their discography. A lot of music critics and Foo Fighters fans consider The Colour and the Shape (which contains songs such as "Everlong", "My Hero" & "Monkey Wrench") to be the band's best album and while I don't deny the fact that it features a lot of great songs, I personally think their debut offering is the more interesting and creative album overall. 

For starters, you have excellent tracks like "Alone + Easy Target" and "Exhausted" which harken back to Dave Grohl's time during Nirvana, as well as some absolute gems in "This is a Call", "I'll Stick Around" and "Big Me". Another aspect in which I really like about the album is that apart from the guitar chords in "X-Static", everything was composed by Dave. The writing, the drumming, the guitars; all Dave.
