I Got Lazy

These are my opinions that I've posted on Minekey. Do you think any will get me banned?

Why is it that those who claim to embrace diversity are so intolerant of those who embrace religion?
And don't feed me that line about God being an Archie Bunker, either

Garrison Keillor should have been the Democrats' nominee for the presidency.
It's been a quiet week in Lake Wobegon

I have a hard time respecting the opinions of others when their theories are so fatally flawed.
Make me roll my eyes, but not wince!

I love how these oppressed, hijab-clad women aren't half as angry and wound up as the sexually-emancipated ones.
And of course, religion has nothing to do with it

If you post something I find asinine, I'm seriously peeved--but then, make me laugh, and you're my hero.
Dedicated to Perry Mihalakos for humoring me

I'm not cynical. I just have a brilliant grasp of human nature.

It IS possible for an opinion to be wrong.
...when the logic behind it is...nonexistent, for example.

Nothing makes me happy.
So very, very happy.

It kind of annoys me when people put in questions for their opinions.
(So, when I agree, am I asking the same question, or affirming the relevance of the question, or what?

I <3 dating prudes.
Commonality is beautiful.

If capital punishment doesn't deter you, then the firing squad shouldn't surprise you.
Duh.

Minekey should have an "Adults Only" section.
Because I don't want to read too deeply into your warped psyche. )

War: There's got to be a better way.
But there isn't.

I could be more open-minded if you made a point.
But you keep proving me right.

I don't mind having an opinion few people agree with.
I'm kind of an elitist that way.

Anger can blast things to smithereens, but sometimes, a little of that's necessary.
There are some things you just can't do when you're in your right mind.

Having something to say does not make you a thinker.
Some people just rave; still others share their favorite clichés. Somebody puts something like, "The beating of two hearts as one is the most beautiful form of abuse in the world," and what do I say? "NO! Love is the worst!"?

Sometimes you have to be crazy in order to avoid going insane.
This world is not always conducive to logic.

If conservatives were half as dangerous as the radical left-wing made us out to be...
...we could have done a LOT more harm by now; let me tell you!

Israel exists.
Now, stop crying, already, Ahmadinejad.

The Twilight series was ridiculous.
There. The truth is out. I wonder if it'll get more crap than the political comments I've made.

Telling a good friend that you're not interested in them in "that" way is a thousand times worse than rejection.
Like pulling fish hooks out of your chest. Holy crap; did I just post a relationship opinion???

I don't want to change unrecognizably over my lifetime.
I want all my old friends to know me as the same headstrong crotchet I've always been. Well...maybe not so crotchety :)

Just because I pick fights with you and occasionally insult you doesn't mean I don't think you're totally awesome.
Indulge my competitive spirit, and you're on my good list for weeks.

If you must poke fun at a European country for being weak-kneed, at least exclude their military.
I formally apologize for all those jokes I used to make about the French army.

People like to say you're closed-minded when you refuse to lose the freaking argument.
The use of logic and facts is dirty pool.

Quit telling me, "Not everyone can be a saint." Yes, everyone CAN be a saint!...it's just that nobody DOES.
Do NOT try to make this out as a matter of capacity.

Few people have the deep love for geeks that I have.
Pretty McFly for a white guy.

I love you against my better judgment because God told me to.
Now...how is that intolerant? (I can't wait to hear your input.)

Arguing with those who are impervious to logic is stupid.
But oh, how I love it!

Apparently not obvious: Guys--probably not a good idea to send pictures of...yourself...to girls you just met.
Thought I'd throw that out there...

Any jackasinine opinion is bearable
if it is delivered with panache and good humor. (Something tells me I'm going to eat my words for this...)

It's pointless for Muslims and Christians to argue about the divinity of Christ.
We have practically everything else in common. Let's just unite against the hedonists.

Give peace a chance
<====I-o NOW. Deleting opinions or comments is craven.
Incendiary remarks are your just punishment for being a moron. If I have to read your drivel, you can suck it up.

If you're going to post crap on my opinions, don't cry when I point out your errors.
This isn't a vacuum. (BTW, excessive use of the F-bomb constitutes "crying.")


It's effing ungrateful for peaceniks to demonize the military.
We're fighting to protect your lifestyle of deluded idealism. By all means, preach peace, wear flowers in your hair, but don't call soldiers baby-killers...you know, unless it's true. (It's not.)

When somebody disagrees with me, I know that idealism is alive and well.
It's kind of encouraging...

The term "leftist fanatic" is a little redundant.
Kind of like referring to the Pope as a "Christian Catholic."

Pink Floyd's "The Gnome" should figure prominently in the upcoming "Hobbit" movie.
It's adorable, and who's going to notice that it says "gnome" instead of "hobbit"?

I don't argue with you because you're homosexual, or a tramp, or a liberal, or an atheist.
I argue with you because you're wrong.

Oft times, the worst thing you can do is take someone seriously.
People who deny the existence of the Holocaust, for example.

I think the worst thing you can do to someone on here is insult them grossly, and then apologize while they reply.
You stole my thunder.

Far Side comics are like Impressionist paintings.
Examine them too closely, and the magic is gone.

I wish there were more atheists with class who know that the existence of religion isn't killing small birds.
I wonder how many nut jobs will comment that it does...

David Bowie is going to Hell for writing "The Laughing Gnome."
Once you're gone that far over, there's no turning back. Or maybe he'll be redeemed for doing "Labyrinth." Eh?

The best song ever written about transgender issues is "Lola" by The Kinks.
Who is this Katy Perry to think she can even compete?

Axe murderers suck eggs.
Why do people feel the need to post such obvious opinions?!!

Religion: It's the new thoughtcrime.
See? I AM a renegade!

Why is it such a crime to assert that religion is not a crime?
The Grand Inquisitor is an atheist.

Why some among us give a hoot about Palin's pregnant daughter is a mystery to me.
Discussions with those who do care have failed to enlighten me in any measureable way.

It was Nature's little joke that made the bladder so much smaller than the stomach.
It may be the best way she could think of to forefend against obesity...?

I'm really sick of hearing, "Live each moment as if it were your last."
Is that a THREAT??

It's unbelievably stupid when guys ask you to send them a "good" picture of yourself.
Uh, am I supposed to be flattered? Jassack.

The world needs more tricorn hats.
It just does.

Instead of spewing it all over the U.S., the uber-left should fertilize a Third World country with their bullcrap.
Everybody has a purpose.

If Kostas is such an idiot, why are you posting so many opinions about him?
It's a little like putting out a fire with your face.

Some people seem to exist only to disagree with every opinion I post--EVEN THE REALLY RANDOM ONES!!!
Like that spectra/barcode guy who doesn't like tricorn hats.

"_______ has withstood the test of time" opinions are getting a little old.
It's really much too easy to find something that fits. Much too easy.

Just because it's true doesn't mean it needs to be said.
You people are so disgusting sometimes.

I will never understand throwing away more than a few dollars for a handbag.
I can't think of a better way to say, "Look! I have money to burn! RIGHT HERE!!!" than by getting an expensive purse. It's a bag! You throw your crap in it. You lose things in it. You set it on the ground to get dirty. Just get a crappy one.

Al Gore is the root cause of global warming.
Him and his hot air and private jet and carbon footprint of 18,000 and his really lame documentaries...
NOTE: It took inhuman restraint not to put "Talk about your bovine flatulence" as the tagline.

It is NOT callous of me to insist upon you seeing a therapist when you have recurring problems time and time again.
It is, however, a little callous of you to swear at me about it. It would be a LOT easier to just leave you alone.

Stereotypes are earned.
Which really sucks for the exceptions.

Screw McCain and Obama! I'm voting for Palin!
And anyway, a governor of Alaska still has more experience than some dinky senator.

People need to quit freaking out about pronouncing "nuclear" as "nukular."
Sure, it's annoying like picking your teeth with razors, but get a grip.

I wish I had a pretty voice like Janis Joplin.

Conservatives should start arguing like hippies.
That would just be funny.

Beauty is a matter of opinion.
If your opinions are stupid, it affects your looks.

"Hick" is the new N-word.
It's no longer socially acceptable to defame anyone except a country dweller. And we've GOT to defame SOMEBODY.

Slow people always travel in hordes so they can take up the whole sidewalk. And they always walk in front of you.
And they do it on PURPOSE.

Guys are NOT just dirty-minded pigs.
They're funny, reasonable, easygoing, etc. If you'd like to add to the list, please do.
