The problem with Star Trek is that it's a modern movie series built upon a fun but cheesy 60s show with not much better writing than the Beverly Hillbillies. Why is it that some Vulcans don't show emotions but they're arrogant and condescending to people? Why are some emotions okay and others not? |
I'm sure the answer is in here somewhere. http://memory-alpha.org/en/wiki/Vulcan I especially like the pic of the "Vulcan posterior".
I fail to see the problem with Star Trek. I've never seen the original, but the movie was awesome. The Beverly Hillbillies movie was awesome too. |

I like Star Trek and enjoy the shows and movies (just never got into Deep Space 9). I'm just not the type who memorizes episode numbers!
Another unpopular opinion. I didn't think the last Indiana Jones movie was so terrible. It's not a must-see, but it was okay. Does everyone hate it so? I find some of the older movies equally ham-fisted at times. |

| Describing yourself as (insert nationality)-American when you have no immediate familial/cultural ties to the 'home' country is moronic. |

A little embarrassing to admit, though! Just like, when it came out, I was pretty good at dancing the Macarena.
Celine's early stuff is not all bad. I had a friend at UNLV who worked security for her concerts and said she is not like her public persona. She was a foul-mouthed Quebecois girl! My aunt once was shocked at an Anne Murray concert (she's from the east coast) to also see her swearing a blue streak. |

i don't care at all what singers say or who actors date or what authors do or w.h.y.
Music, film and books I appreciate on their own terms independent of the artists.
I enjoy Celine's early French ballads. She has a phenomenal musical range. Her voice is golden. I like ballads. And she's good at them. I think her 2002 album A New Day Has Come was very good. I liked every song on the album. She is top-3 in worldwide album sales all time but it isn't hip or cool to say you like her music. It is an unpopular opinion. |

DS9 was the best of the Treks in terms of stories, writing, overall acting and character development. Unlike TNG where you could watch one episode on a Tuesday night and be entertained, DS9 basically requires you to watch the whole series.
It just lacked the "It" of The Original Series and the great Picard and Data that made TNG such a great show. |

| I liked Voyager. I thought Janeway was funny and she had some great lines. Never got into the soap-opera world of DS9. Just my limited attention span. |

| All sports are lame and boring. American football especially is latent homo sexual desire made into a spectacle. Sports are the downfall of society and are correlated with alcoholism, segregation, spousal abuse, and illegal gambling. "Athletes" can receive a free college education because they can catch a ball, even if they can't read. People that cry at games because their team won are utter losers. Watching ESPN to watch a bunch of old football players have wet dreams over new players and arguing who is better has to be the most useless activity in all of history. |

I'm going to say it again even though I posted it earlier: Who on God's green earth thinks that Sarah Palin is attractive? How did this become a media assumption and story? She looks like someone's Aunt Mildred who never got married and yells at you for playing your music too loud and leaving a pop can on her tea table. There's nothing wrong with MILFs. But she's not a good-looking MILF, along with being a dingbat.
Really unpopular opinion that could get me into trouble: this feminist dogma that rape is an act of power and not of sex. I don't think emotions happen in isolation and that quite often sexual assault is both ugly urges mixed together, such as a man who believes that an attractive girl is teasing him. I am not condoning or trivializing the crime or speaking from any experience. But I hate these advocacy statistics that no one's allowed to question.
Medical doctors have no right to call themselves doctor if they have no doctorate. A physiotherapist with a two-year diploma doesn't deserve that honorific if I have a PhD and have people telling me "Oh, so you're not a real doctor."
What a geeky thing to say. I find A4 paper holds more text and is a little more efficient than Letter paper.
My favorite Led Zep album is In Through the Out Door. I wish radio stations would play it more instead of "Stairway to Heaven" over and over and over and over... |
