RE: Controversial views
They're fascists, what do you expect?
I am John Cena's hip-hop album.

See, this is where I am okay with your controversial view. As long as you see some benefit at the core, the rest is certainly debatable. So far you're okay in my book.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

There are good intentions and ideas behind the whole movement, but they are fucking fascists, for sure.

As in, what do you take to be true, or think about a particular thing, that most would not agree with, or that a lot of people would frown upon?

For example, here's mine: Nigel Farage is my favourite politician and I think he speaks the most sense out of all of them.

(I could probably get more controversial than the above but I don't want to offend anyone Wink )

Thanks for asking this question,  Napoleon.  I have the following concern:

Some people, regardless of whether they are theistic or non-theistic, say that there must be one truth and that everyone else is wrong. But, why can't everyone (all truths and beliefs) be wrong?  Why doesn't humanity embrace this possibility more often?

Hm. On some level I agree with you, but there still has to be one set of truths that is true. That doesn't mean that anyone on the planet absolutely has the right beliefs. We could all be wrong about the truth.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

Thanks. In truth I'm pretty frothing at the mouth to protect people rights and I can't stand sexism or racism. I think that is why I'm the way I am because for example I can't stand it when women are painted as these delicate little wall flowers that can't take care of themselves. Just like can't stand people that look at a black person and say "you must be a criminal".
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

Because that removes the need for an idea of right and wrong altogether. There is a right and wrong way to do everything. If you say everything is wrong, you won't get around to doing anything, presumably.

Theoretically, yes.
