I think islamic fundamentalism is a bigger threat to civilized mankind than nationalsocialism was.

I think western nations should invade fundamentalist countries and enslave the population.

I think all drugs should be legalized.

I think casualties are more bearable if the victims are children, because there was not yet too much effort put into their education compared to adults and they can easily be reproduced.

I think women are primitive animals compared to men.

I think AIDS is a good thing because overpopulation is a far more concerning problem.

World peace is possible.

"terrorists, whatever else they may be, are not "cowards." We have been the cowards lobbing cruise missiles from 2,000 miles away. That's cowardly."
While not necessarily agreeing with this statement I do not think it is treasonous, outrageous or unpatriotic as an American.

Their is nothing particularly special about my country or its people.

I have no more affinity or care for people of my country then people of other countries.

Morality is not a bad word.

Faith is not a bad word.

Their is no God.

GM food worries me.

Welfare is good.

Their are an awful lot of people who abuse the welfare system.

Nationalism is evil.

Zionism is racist.

Fundamentalism is evil.

All men secretly desire to dominate women.

All women secretly desire to be dominated.

All impulses shouldn't be followed.(not really unpopular, just necessary after the last 2.

my eyebrow-raising views:

Using prisoner labor is ok. 'debt to society' doesn't mean sitting in a single place, doing nothing .

People should be well-behaved.

Soft drugs should be decriminalized.

these are the ones that pop out of my head.

I find it irritating to adhere to social niceties at the expense of candour.

The people with strong political opinions are the least suited to be political leaders.

Not being in a serious relationship is underrated.

Tired of ads?

We have a good income tax system.

Human beings, brought together, are smart.

Politicians are the most hardworking members of our society.

Well - I tried to express them as controversial as possible, but there is a true core in them (not starting a discussion here, just explaining that I'm not (completely) pulling your leg...):

"I think islamic fundamentalism is a bigger threat to civilized mankind than nationalsocialism was."

- It's far more spread than nationalsocialism was, just as aggressive and even less rational due to it being a religion (ok - NS was practised like a religion by some, but it wasn't as such). I'd call Nationalsocialism wicked, but fundamentalism foolish - and as Alexandre Dumas said: "I prefer the wicked rather than the foolish. The wicked sometimes rest."

"I think western nations should invade fundamentalist countries and enslave the population."

Basically, I propagate going back to imperialist and colonialist behaviour more openly than it's currently done - the "slavery" part was to make it sound more controversial. People working for minimum wages (mainly to produce goods for western nations) is veiled slavery in my eyes and this is allready taking place all over the world. There's just no need to invade if there are "friendly" governments - if they are unfriendly, they should be attacked for some false pretenses and have a new governmet installed to ensure the above - mmmh - wait wan't there something? Ah - no - Iraq isn't exactly fundamentalist

"I think all drugs should be legalized."

If citizens are to be considered emancipated, the government has no right to dictate which drugs to use and which not.
Example: Alcohol is legal too - and someone addicted to alcohol is more likely to stay so than someone on heroin as a matter of fact - the difference is that alcohol causes more organic damages than heroin and most people dying of heroin are doing so because of the circumstances under which it's consumed due to it being illegal. I don't propagate drug abuse (I don't even drink myself), but if someone does, should be his own decision.

"I think casualties are more bearable if the victims are children, because there was not yet too much effort put into their education compared to adults and they can easily be reproduced."

In fact I'm all serious here - it was a common practice in certain regions of ancient China in times of famine: The children were eaten first - I allways admired the logic behind that.
It was partially even in europe: My own grand-grandfather allways let the youngest son climb up the highest trees to harvest fruits because "if he falls down, it's the one one having cost the least money 'til now" (besides him weighting the least )

"I think women are primitive animals compared to men."

In terms of behaving illogical and uncontrollably emotional (which I would call animal and primitive) they are imo.

"I think AIDS is a good thing because overpopulation is a far more concerning problem."

With the current worldpopulation and it's current tumor-like growth rate, there has to be a limiting factor sooner or later - let it be famine, AIDS (it's overrated - simple diarrhea is more effective) or future multi-resitant bacteria - Nature will defend itself, if anyone thinks it's positive or not.

"That last one just kills me, Dan."

I knew it would be popular.

All of the higher level politicians that I know of work 80-100 hour weeks routinely, all the time maintaining their top game.

At the state houses and local levels, good politicians spend an amazing amount of quality time with constituents. Giving speeches, attending BBQs, etc.

Not that they don't have fun doing it.
