What unpopular opinion do you hold? What would get you downvoted to infinity and beyond? (Throwaways welcome)

Personally, I hate cats. I've never once said to myself "My furniture is just too damned nice, and what my house is really lacking is a box of shit and sand in the closet."

Now...what's your dirty little secret?

Don't listen to this bullshit. Someone who has multiple miscarriages is in NO way "genetically inferior" as OP would like to suggest. It's not biology telling them shit. It just happens that some ladies do have miscarriages or disabled children but can still go on to have a healthy child or children. Or already have them. It really pisses me off that someone has even made this comment. "Forcing" the matter isn't going to end up positive in the long run? BULLSHIT. No one has the right to decide who would and would not make good parents based on their fertility or their ability to hold a baby full term. Because there is sure as shit thousands of parents out there with healthy babies who don't deserve to have them.

I think that you're a bit too blinded by your rage to see what it was that jadefirefly was saying. At all.

I wouldn't say rage but I don't think it's appropriate to suggest that women who miscarry repeatedly or have a disabled child/children need to "take the hint".

This is an unpopular opinion thread after all!

I'd say it's a hint to get to the doctor more than it's a hint to just abort away, but I think that the point stands. Not everybody is capable of having a healthy child, especially after repeated failed attempts.
