What’s your most controversial opinion?

My MOST controversial opinion?

Easy: the United States should officially and fully adopt the Metric System.

You missed that one by a kilometer

Blood is not always thicker than water.

But love is thicker than water, and higher than a mountain

Saying “not all men” makes me think you are of the men we should be afraid of

All generalizations are wrong, including this one. (Credit to George Carlin, IIRC)

Liquor sold in plastic bottles just ain't right.

I feel like @Cratos should weigh in here. He has brought several rugby players to my attention. I'm sure we can get AI to create a Fantasy Rugby/Am Football league going and watch how it plays out

Having played in college, I have a bit of insight into this. We had fall and spring seasons. In the spring, we would pick up a football player or 3 as seniors (since they no longer had spring practice) and they always made us better. My senior year, 2 of starters from our offensive line became our 2nd row and a running back that never played played wingback for us. We were good in the fall but we destroyed everyone we played in the spring.
While I'm sure this isn't the same in other countries where rugby gets some of their best athletes, American rugby and soccer don't come close to getting our best.

This coming from an American, and sticking with our current theme...

Association Football (soccer) is infinitely more entertaining than Gridiron (American) Football. The rest of the world has this figured out, but we insist on watching a game with more commercial airtime than actual playtime!

We all have our likes and dislikes. I find soccer often boring, tedious and annoying. The drama/bad acting on any contact is worse than the flopping Coach K used to teach at Duke. There are times when I see what folks love about soccer and like the Olympics, when World Cup comes around and you see people playing for their country, it hits a little different. Eliminate the offsides rule and hand out cards for flopping and faking injuries and maybe I'll watch more often.

Personally, I think much of this is what you grow up with and become passionate about as a child. It's OK not to like the same things.

What is not ok is the bastardization of pizza. Crust is not made with foul vegetables. Tomato sauce can't be replaced by some mayonnaise-based cream sauce. That's not pizza. Call it something else.

Some people like to argue just for the sake of arguing.

What's wrong with the offside rule?

Mental health issues should be cared for and treated. Not promoted and used for political gain and division

 

[Mo_Bandy]

Dude I actually really like soccer(futbol) and rugby but get fucking pissy when muh fuckers try and shit on American Football and make up dumb names for it.

 

[ydahecnot]

Same thing when people call rugby "egg chasing".

More like “bum thumbing.” Can we all agree that pretty much everything else is more athletic than golf?

Soft shell tacos are better than hard shell tacos.

Is a hard shell taco even really a taco?

 

[Fingerfuxs]

Soft shell tacos are better than hard shell tacos.

Combo crunchy for the win. With finely *diced tomatoes , not lazy cut chucks of them.

What the fuck is a tomato? I haven't had anything even close to tasting like a tomato in 40 years. I am sure they still exist...but not around these parts

Jersey tomatoes are the best. Heirloom tomatoes , Publix has great produce. But homegrown are best.

JerZ tomatoes!

Just cleaned up the veg garden last weekend. Plucked those last few tomatoes, made marinara sauce (gravy as my dad called it) and froze it.

And it’s pork roll, not Taylor ham.

I have no idea what that is , but I want one. I’ve heard of in for years and years , but never had one.

 

[Wonderer67]

I think Publix had or has it. It’s a processed pork “product”.

It’s good. Fattening but good. If you’re from jersey, it’s a total thing.

Pork roll is a processed meat commonly available in New Jersey and neighboring states.[1]It was developed in 1856 by John Taylor of Trenton, and sold as "Taylor's Prepared Ham" until 1906.[2] Though since then food labeling regulations require Taylor and all other manufacturers to label it "pork roll", people in northern New Jersey still call it "Taylor ham".[3]The "Is it pork roll or Taylor ham?" question is a notable element of New Jersey culture, and the division over what name one uses divides the state along roughly north–south geographic lines.[4][5]

This fails the definition of controversial…….unless you only celebrate white people taco night.

Farmers markets and/or your backyard (if you have one) are your friend. Sadly awesome tomato season is just about over here, meaning the end of delicious tomato cucumber salad season. Sadness.

 

[Bry1313]

There's no such thing as "white people" taco night. There are real tacos and then there are "other" tacos.

Those linked videos say otherwise

 

[jaF0]

Isn't a soft taco a burrito? At least they don't cut your mouth like the knife sharp hard shells do.
