Your biggest flip flop

[Napoléon]

What's the strongest opinion you've had on an issue that you've flip flopped on?

Example: I used to be quite homophobic when I was younger, refused to admit homosexuality was 'natural' etc. 

Now I'm all about life being fabulous.

I used to be very against homosexuality, and abortion. After many heated arguments, and insults, and the like on a different forum, I eventually came around to accepting these things.

Militarism.

Homophobic might not be the right word. Laughing and pointing fingers at them might be. Until I learned that my best friend was actually gay. That's when I flopped, if you can call it that, since through him, I came to know quite a lot of gay people and started to understand what it means to be constantly on the receiving end of society.

I was a huge fan of President Nixon during his presidency. Seeing Air Force One touch down in China was quite a rush.

Before any of it was launched, I was sure the International Space Station was going to be a huge cluster fuck. It's a trivial foot note in the Encyclopedia Galactica now.

I thought I'd like that last lobster roll I had much more than I actually did. Taste and texture was more like tuna fish than lobster. My disappoint, shudda sent it back.

You should post more threads, your latest ones have been gold, pretty interesting topics.


Probably hunting being totally wrong, I've always been pretty sensitive about issues with animals but I've learned a lot about how hunting reserves might be the only hope to keep territory for some animals, how sometimes animal populations need killing.

Most of my other huge turns of opinion are the transition from me as a stupid teenager to now.

Back then I used to think it was acceptable to sit around, smoke weed, not have a job, placed no importance on hard work, no understanding of money or independence.  I used to think those bum fights videos were cool and that they really had a deeper message being put across, I used to be a real hippy idiot in that way, like I'd say to people that Jim Morrison wasn't just a wife beating, drug taking alcoholic, he has a really deep message.  Charles Manson isn't just a serial killer he has a really deep message.

If I was a teenager now I'd probably be an idiot telling people ISIS have a deep message and supporting blacklivesmatter.  Complete with rebellious facial piercings and whatever other new trend is out.

I used to think there was an all-powerful creator of the entire universe.

Now I don't.

Hard to imagine you were ever so stupid Tibbers, I thought you popped out from the womb with an IQ of at least 50.

I'll happily pretend they're all my original thoughts

Come to think of it, I never really did. I believed in spirits and ghosts as a child, but never really thought about farting a universe into existence.
