Unpopular Opinion Thursday

I don't get viral videos. I've watched a couple and I never really get why they go viral. A baby laughing over ripped paper? Blowing your nose? And these people are on the Today Show and Jay Leno? It's all lost on me...

    I agree.  I am not a huge youtube fan to begin with and the idea of watching videos online seems boring to me.  I have heard about the baby laughing one (and others) but have never seen them.

  • There is a girl on another board that I post on that posts a "Good Morning" post every day. Everyone says what they've been up to the day before and what their plans are for the current day, etc. I hate it because it basically killed the board. Everyone posts what's going on in their life in that one thread, so very few other threads ever get posted.

  • I'm glad my unpopular opinions ARE unpopular :) I hate when people post like, I think registry info on a wedding invite is tacky.

    Um... not unpopular.

  • More of a Flameful Confession as opposed to an unpopular opinion:

    I hate when a woman has a baby then develops an inability to talk about anything other than the baby. Yeah, you have a baby & that's great, but you used to have a personality too.

    (Not about this board.. Specifically a girl on twitter who used to be interesting but now every.single.tweet is about her baby).

  • I have a religious unpopular opinion. Last night was the last night of a four day revival at my church. We haven't had a revival in over 10 years so it was a big deal. At the end of the service, 67 people were baptized. As we were leaving I heard two little old bitties say something about the fact that a lot of the baptized were kids and teenagers and that they shouldn't have been allowed to participate because they were just following the crowd and they didn't really get saved. Um, when did they become God? Just because they're young that doesn't mean they don't know the magnitude of their decision.

    I have a friend like this but he's not a baby anymore he's 4.  I also hate people who have had kids and think they know everything and look at me like I am the devil if I do something that their doctor did not let them do.

    Really?  I have approximately 4,568,120 of them, but I would get flamed to hell and back so I usually keep them to myself.  :)

    I'll try to think of some less offensive opinions.  We've already established that I'm cold and would never give a kidney to anyone, but that's just the tip of my heartless iceberg.

  • I just thought of another one that has bothered me for a while. When I worked with low income families and foster families in childcare we were always told to never post pictures of the children becUse most of them are at risk. If we did anything in public we were by no means allowed to use their full names. Parents were asked to sign a photo release and foster parents never allowed us to use pictures of their foster kids. I have a friend that is a Foster parent and she posts pics of her foster kids all over her fb. She posts statuses about them, negative and positive and she doesn't hold back. it bothers the heck out of me! I can't help but think that some crazy family member or someone that shouldn't is going to find their pics and she's going to be at fault for it. Keeping these kids safe should be her priority and plastering them all over the Internet doesn't do that.

  • Okay, I don't know if this is an UO or just a statement/observation. 

    Popular opinion - everyone hates vague FB statuses.  It's being an AW and obviously trying to reel people in to ask you, "zomg what's going on???" 

    We know that and everyone can usually agree on that.

    Then half of the people who say they hate vague FB statuses... still post them!  "Worried..."  "Just wondering..."  "Crazy day!"  "So frustrating!"

    That's what you just said you hated!  

     

  • After reading the over/underrated house features thread, I guess my unpopular opinion would be that I LOVE my deep pantry. It's semi walkin in the corner of our kitchen with a light inside and it's L shaped. I store sooo much stuff in that thing. If I had a long narrow pantry, where would I store all of my appliances? My cases of water? How narrow are these pantries you ladies are talking about?

  • Let me start with this - Chris Brown is a dooshbag times ten.

    However, after his GMA breakdown, he's gotten SO much flack. He called out his treatment vs. Charlie Sheen's treatment in the public eye, and he's 100% right in saying it's total BS. Yes, in public Charlie Sheen is more funny/mental and Chris Brown is angry/scary, but they've both been charged with the same things - assault on women and having anger management issues, yet Charlie Sheen is now on a world tour raking in the $$$ while Chris Brown is villianized.

    I hate them both, but I see Chris Brown's point here.

  • I think its stupid when people change their FB name to FirstName + MiddleName (no last name).

    If you're that concerned with privacy & what people may find out about you, then:

    A) Don't post stupid crap

    or

    B) Delete your FB profile all together.

    I think a walk-in is way different than what we're, or at least I, was referring to.  I was thinking of this:

  • This is my pantry:

    image

    It's not really shallow, but it's long enough that I don't have to go digging through stuff I can't see to get things.  If that makes sense.

    Also don't judge my pantry.  I didn't get far in organizing it before I got distracted by the internet.

    ETA I didn't mean to turn this into a thread bragging about my pantry.  Sorry.  lol

    Yes lol Happens to me all of the time. Ok, I get what you mean. My shelves are this deep but longer and L-shaped. I love that the pantry itself is deep because it gives me good floor space to slide things under the bottom shelves.

    CD- Yeah, a deep pantry like that would drive me crazy. (Excuse LB for rubbing her disorganized totally awesome pantry in your face.) Stick out tongue

  • Well I'm sure I HAVE unpopular opinions... but they don't pop to mind if I haven't thought of them recently.... OR I don't realize that they're unpopular. lol

  • Oooh, I thought of one!

    I think NASA's space exploration should be shut down until we have a budget surplus. Monitor for asteroids on a collision course, sure... but find out what the 90th ring of saturn looks like up close? Not right now! It's like taking your kid to a museum and then sleeping on the sidewalk bec you can't put a roof over his head.
