Unpopular Opinions (Non-Music Related) - Page 7

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.

demonrail666 · 07.01.2009, 08:38 AM

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.

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.

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.

tw2113 · 07.01.2009, 10:35 AM

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.

Sonic Youth 37 · 07.01.2009, 11:11 AM

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

tw2113 · 07.01.2009, 11:28 AM

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

This Is Not Here · 07.01.2009, 12:53 PM

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.
