ITT: We share unpopular beliefs we have

[PatrickHenry]

I'm a social liberal and young so a lot of the crowds I run around with are also liberal. However I am a foreign policy Realist. That means semi-support Afghan war, oppose Iraq War. The positions I always get **** for are my beliefs regarding the Cold War...pro-Vietnam, pro-nuclear arms race, pro-arming contras/mujahideen and stuff like that

Also I am a bit of an imperialist at heart

On what basis would you justify going to war? What objective would be worth putting thousands of people's lives at risk? Do you have any philosophic underpinning for your beliefs?

Not trying to be a dick. I'm genuinely curious.

The age of consent should be lowered to 13 across the globe.

I think performance enhancing drugs should be allowed in sports

[StalinBrah]

It's like working behind enemy lines. You can see the despair and alienation in the workers eyes.

Julia Stiles is incredibly attractive

people who claim aspartame is a significant poison in edible amounts, and that homeopathy works, etc. are more harmful to society overall, in the long run, than serial killers

people who say carmel instead of carAmel are generally less educated, and not because its a dialect/accent

I am pretty much amoral when it concerns war. I think of a nation as an entity. Now, what that nation does has to be in it's own best interest. However, I am not a hawk in that I think war is always the answer....often diplomacy and goodwill abroad is a strong way to get what you want. War is the natural state oof man, however...it does happen from time to time. I think that the committment of the lives of armed servicemen ought to be in pursuit of something worth it. It is also a disservice to use their lives inefficiently as well. Hence why I semi-support Afghanistan (just cause after 9/11...incompetant conduct of the war for a long time)....Iraq was a poor decision in that it was unnecessary, incompetent, and also terrible for the US' international reputation.

If you wish to get into a discussion of Vietnam I will, but generally I feel in the Cold War context (and ONLY the cold war context) it was a just cause in Realist terms to combat communism (although the justification that it was any sort of humanitarian mission was both disingenuous and laughable). However it was incompetantly managed and therefore was an embarressment. That war is so nuanced and complicated, however, and hardly anyone has a working knowledge of the intricacies so generally I get stuck arguing with moronic pacifists or just as moronic redneck hawks who think all the war needed was nukes or something stupid.

I think that people that steal when they don't need to should have one of their hands chopped off as a reminder not to do it again.

Stealing is the lowest thing you can do in my home country (dominican republic) so you better pray to god the cops come fast if you get caught stealing by someone because you'll most likely get killed or have something chopped off with a machete. (SRS)

I believe you should have to have a license to have a child; furthermore, I believe all women should be sterilized from birth and then given an anti-dose to remove the sterilization once they are found to be members of society whom we want to reproduce.

This. Would fix a whole boatload of problems in the world.

grew up not too far from Carmel, NY and some of my family lived there at some point. So its more natural for me to say carmel then carAmel.

*I think people have a right to live their lives as they please as long as they are not harming others.
*The constitution protects us as a nation and sets basic guidelines to keep government in check.
*The educational system and media in the US purposefully dumb people down to socially engineer brainwashed idiots.

The US should strip the Federal Government down to military and infrastructure. Leave everything else to the states.

Homosexuality is a mental illness.

Science and religion go hand in hand, not one disproving the other.

Majority of people that back science fail to adhere to a fundamental law of science: creativity and imagination without bias.
I.e failed scientists.

[Poolee32]

This is very interesting. I'll share mine

1. You should have to own land or be the head of a 3+ person(one being a child) household to vote.

2. There should be tests to take to determine whether you are fit to have a child, just as there are tests to take to determine whether you're fit to adopt.

3. Abortions should be encouraged and free for those that can not support the child.

[Negbro]

I think you should require a license to procreate.
