A truly free market is the cornerstone of a free society and the virtue of a free market is free trade -- ie, voluntary transactions. Therefore, non-essential businesses NOT funded or managed by the state *should* have the right to refuse service for any reason.

Trump is a humble, selfless person.

Not sure how unpopular an opinion that may be in this day and age, although it's still a controversial one.

people are gonna talk about the "popular" vote now on this point. you do realize that right.

Well, he is also a historically unpopular president so... you know, not liking him isn't terribly unpopular of an opinion right now. Losing the popular vote is less relevant than that.

just saying. popular opinion, popular vote, seemed too easy of a thing for people to jump all over

Pretty common among Oblivion fans.

Red Dead is an incredibly boring game and the 'story' isn't really any better. It's the wild west equivalent of 'your princess is in another castle'. The 'twist' near the end isn't all that moving either because the main character is pretty much a douche.

Story was cliche as shit but it was the atmosphere that made the game

yeah my perspective seems more uncommon. started with morrowind and skyrim is my favorite. I like all though. its just like they always add something really new and cool, but take away something that the previous had that was great as well.

ocarina of time has aged terribly, and is not even among the top 10 zelda games of all time, ok?

first part I can sorta see, but second one i'd need a list of every zelda game to be sure of.

thank god the 3ds got a remake though. a slight polish on the graphics and it being handheld made it worth playing and owning again.

We're still friends... but boy is that some sinful talk you just said to me. lol

How is it not in the top 10? Even if you put every 3D Zelda game above it, that would still require you to name five 2D Zelda games, and 3D Zelda is way better than 2D Zelda.

Disagree. I like the idea of old west shit but the fact that 90% of the game is going back and forth across virtually barren wastelands makes it a chore. That's not including having to stop every three feet so you can pick a stupid flower to craft a bullet quiver or whatever the fuck.

Butt sex sounds like one of the grossest things ever. Hard pass.

like you'd ever get anything that resembles sex of any kind? and idk i dont think its an unpopular opinion in any case

Ive been with the same chick for 12 years now. Project more, loser.

my mistake i confused you with icoyar lol. not projecting. would've been fact had you have actually been him.

also mmo's are trash generally and i hate online multiplayer/microtransactions and the state of gaming in which online play is the #1 culprit.

Here's another one

I think a lot of people are faking having things like "high functioning depression" so they have an excuse for why they don't get shit done. I believe people have depression, but I don't believe people who say stuff like "I'm so smart and so talented by my depression is the one thing keeping me from practicing my art/studying/writing."

No, you're just lazy, and even if you weren't, you're probably just average at your "talent" like everyone else. The fact that it's been 4 years since you last drew a thing is your fault.

Loud dogs living in population dense areas should be treated kind of like dogs that bite. They should get a couple of passes allowing the owners time to properly train them not to bark, but after that the owners either need to move somewhere where incessant barking doesn't matter, like a farm, or the dog needs to be surgically debarked.

I had to train my dog TO bark, because we had a few incidents of someone who didn't belong being spotted on our back porch. one of which tried stealing my brother bike while he was there. but my dogs are inside dogs only go out when they gotta piss/shit, so I guess their barking wouldn't really bother you much.

so I guess their barking wouldn't really bother you much.

I'm mostly just talking about disruptive ones who bark constantly at everything, especially at night.

not making a joke, just don't think thats how opinions work. opinions don't deal in facts, even though a lot of gamefaqs seems to think so.

I think that the way that you phrase an opinion can make it subject to truth-analysis. Confusion arises when people use forms of the verb "to be." For example, if someone says, "I like chocolate better than vanilla," you can't really say they're wrong unless you mean that they are lying. But if someone says, "Chocolate is better than vanilla," I would say that the person has made an untested claim about the world and people can interpret ways in which one flavor might beat the other based on their own criteria/tastes.

thats fine and all but this is a topic about opinions. so everything must assumed to be an opinion. and some things just can't simply be an opinion. I can't say "I don't believe sex can cause pregnancy" and it be an opinion. no it would just be outright wrong.

-There has never been a worthwhile Xbox console
-Steam is one of the biggest mistakes gaming has ever made
-The Incredibles is one of Pixar's most mediocre films; by contrast, Brave is an underappreciated gem
-Matrix Revolutions was the best Matrix film
-The Phantom Menace was the best of the prequels and it's not even close - Revenge of the Sith was only marginally better than Attack of the Clones, which was putrescent.
-Gaming in general has gone steadily downhill since the Wii/PS3/360 generation.
-Smart phones and (especially) tablets are grossly overrated.

I'd say it would be - even amongst Trump's supporters, I can't think that there are many who would honestly consider him humble or selfless.

Hell, half his appeal is that he isn't that, when the last guy who held the office was to the point where his detractors felt it made him appear weak and a doormat.

Red Dead, Dark Souls, & Elder Scrolls = trash.

Spider-Man Homecoming is a disgrace to one of my favorite characters & is easily the worst Spider-Man movie.

Similarly, I hate the MCU overall.

Sonic '06 wasn't that bad.

I don't like Rick & Morty at all. It's not funny & is more annoying than anything.

The Nintendo Switch is a disappointment & I say this as an otherwise huge Nintendo fan.

The Red Hot Chili Peppers & Green Day are horrible.

Pizza is gross like 98% of the time.

Star Wars Episode 1 is one of the best in the series.

Wow, these are some of the worst opinions I've ever seen!
