Ok, I am giving a fair warning up-front that this will be a fairly illogical rant. I would not endeavor to defend any of these statements, nor do I think they represent good public policy. I don't believe that these are good opinions, but that doesn't change the fact that I have them. But since this kind of thing was solicited...

Most people, including me, are abysmally stupid, horribly illogical, and clinically insane. Humans would not be classified as sentient by any truly intelligent beings.
Privacy is bunk. If you are honest you don't need it and if you are dishonest you shouldn't have it.
People should face the consequences of their actions. Public money should not be spent on people who have done stupid things.
Social Darwinism may not be such a bad thing after all.
Wealth almost always leads to corruption and decay.
History shows that a society will always buy as much decadence as it can possibly afford.
All rich Western countries should allow unlimited and unrestricted immigration. Anyone who wants to come should be allowed to.
People should have to earn their citizenship. The process should be exactly the same no matter what country you were born in.
Most people who think they are environmentalists simply have an irrational emotional attachment to charismatic megafauna.
Any animal that cannot survive on its own deserves to go extinct.
Fishermen are short sighted fools who think they have a natural right to completely foul up vital marine ecosystems by plundering something that does not belong to them.
All environmental decisions should be made with the sole aim of improving human health and happiness. Clean water and air is vital, but endangered species are not.
Anybody who feels the need to alter their brain chemistry with any kind of chemical, including alcohol or caffeine, is a fool. Altering your consciousness is basically an admission that you do not like what you are.
All drugs should be legal. However, we should not provide any medical care for drug users. People should have the right to use as much heroin as they want, and they should have the right to die of an overdose outside the emergency room if they can't pay for their treatment.
Anybody who commits any kind of crime while under the influence of any chemical should be tried as if the crime was premeditated. Drunk drivers who kill should be charged with murder one, not manslaughter.
Capitalism is the most productive and efficient system known for giving the public what they want.

Anyone who does not put their trust in Christ will burn in hell.
Science does not contradict religion - it enforces it.
Amateur science buffs don't have a clue what they are talking about. They often treat science as a religion.
Enlightened dictatorship is more constructive than democracy because people are too stupid to know what is good for them.
Any form of 'justice' is immoral. People should only be punished with the aim of protecting society - not for revenge.
The west is neither democratic nor capitalist.
Libertarians are mentally defective, as well as amoral.
I don't find women with big breasts attractive.
I don't value people according to how much money they have.
Winston Churchill was an evil man.

One wonders who you define unpopular or unorthoodx views - they change, depending on crowd. For instance, IRL supporting drug war wouldn't be an unorthodox belief, while being an atheist would be - in Net (At least Apolyton) it's the other way around.

Most Weird Al stuff is not funny, it's just stupid. The reason he's so liked among the nerdkind is that he offers a nerdceptable option to listen to popular tunes, albeit with a bit different lyrics.
But then again, when discussing music, there is only one acceptable argument for band being good: "I like it". Likewise for band being bad ("I don't like it.")
"Blossom" was a good series.
12th season of Simpsons was genuinely and honestly bad. Not just bad Simpsons, bad television.
I once almost liked one of those songs Snapcase keeps pushing, but then snapped to my senses.
Yes, it was wrong, yes, it was senseless and no, it shouldn't happen again, but I bet there were more than a few bullies who tuned down on their act after Columbine - and more than a few victims who survived through the school without killing themselves by idly dreaming about massacre.
If democracy is strong enough, it can survive an more authoritarian ruler who severely bends the rules - as long as he stops short of smashing them completely. After all, Finland survived Kekkonen. Such strongman can even be good. However, it shouldn't be taken as a habit.
Knee-jerk cynicism doesn't equal wisdom.
Hypocrisy isn't nearly as bad as it's made to be.
Whether "Homophobes are secretly homosexuals" is true or not, in most of the cases saying it in a debate against a homophobe is nothing more than a progressive version of "Ha ha your fag".

don't f*ck anything that you wouldn't want to have a child with then... and last time I checked, women can't just stop supporting their children... legally anyways.
