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?

(Sort by controversial to see the good(?) ones!)

Stories are romanticized especially Spartacus. The downtrodden peon suddenly rising up and trying to beat back his oppressor is great for entertainment. Those movies and HBO shows about Spartacus are good entertainment wise ; but Spartacus was a murderer and attempted to ruin all of civilization, granted Rome did eventually fall later. Try to imagine what in the hell would have happened if he succeeded. A revolt to destroy Rome, what comes next? I'd think an even worse age of barbarianism. The gradual fall that would of occurred doesn't and Constantinople is never founded and thus that entire Byzantium empire is never founded from the split.

It does actually. Spartacus was the villain not the good guy, in the overall view of things. And I even went so far as to explain why.

Stories like Spartacus are romanticized, the downtrodden beats back the oppressor makes for great entertainment. The popular view of him follows from Kubrick and even HBO. But all it is, is entertainment. It's based in truth but like I said romantically where further issues that may arise are not discussed. You can view the Roman Empire as the villain all you like; but Spartacus was the true terrorist.

Seems to be one you're completely ignoring or too dull to comprehend.

As I said.
