I support Demeny Voting (and I think the self-voting age should be more like 15 or 16).

Sounds like an interesting system.

Ok,the whole State bills to protect religious freedom advance, alarming some.

So if you believe something,and have a religious reason for doing something,then regular law does not apply to you,think "Thou shall not allow a witch to live",or the popular "Man shell not lie with man" so if you are a devout Christian,you should be able to bypass modern law for religious law..Sharia anyone? An eye for an eye too?

Enough special consideration for religious belief to allow Bigotry and discrimination,because you believe it should be ok.

If this is the rule of law for us,then kill someone if they spit on a bible,or disrespect an image of Jesus,or GOD..BUT,only the GOD of Abraham is covered...what if someone disrespects an image of Pan,or Satan? Slippery slope right there..

^^^ I read somewhere that Adam Lanza, the Sandy Hook school shooter in CT, was a vegan. Anything's possible.

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

Hitler was a vegetarian (at least towards the end). True story. From the sounds of it, he barely even ate dairy or eggs. Also, the Nazis labelled soya beans "Nazi beans": http://www.telegraph.co.uk/history/w...rian-diet.html

People who claim that vegetarians or vegans can't be violent or murderous have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Vegetarian sites always try to discredit it because he wasn't a strict vegetarian before the war started, but according to most sources, he did become a full vegetarian.

Charles Manson is also apparently a vegetarian.

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

I love meat and will never (willingly) be a vegan. Because.. bacon. ^^

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

I have nothing against people who go vegan...I just can't stand it when they try to justify it by saying that vegans are better people, that everyone can do it, and that it's always better for the environment. Vegans are often great people, but that's not always the case. Not everyone can do it (I've given quite a few a list of my allergies and said "go...tell me how I can eat a varied diet for a week. None of them could give me an answer). It is often better for the environment, but you have to watch your choices. Getting food filled with palm oil shipped halfway across the world is probably not as environmental as local sustainable salmon or organic eggs from a small farm or a neighbour (or whatever is locally raised in your area).

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

I don't think poor people are vegan.

I just kind of skimmed the discussion...but this right here.

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

I could not go without eating meat. I mean there's many reasons, but I'll give you three
1. Steak
2. Ribs
3. Bacon
Three solid reasons right there

I think you forgot bacon, and bacon as well. Did I mention bacon?
Bacon should definitely be on that list.

Bacon should definitely be on that list.

You forgot sushi, pork chops, bacon, eggs, tuna steak, bacon, chilean sea-bass, salmon, bacon, sausage, bacon and bacon.

I don't think so, either. Stuff like beans and lentils are pretty cheap, but you kind of have to go beyond that to get B12 and stuff. A lot of those vegan fortified foods and supplements are really expensive, not to mention the alternative milk and egg products and all that.

Also, another unpopular opinion (I guess it's not really an opinion, though):

I'm not that big on bacon. I mean, I don't dislike it and I enjoy it from time to time, but I could take it or leave it.

Re: Unpopular Opinions.

I agree!

I always choose sausage, when asked "bacon or sausage?"
