What’s your most controversial opinion?

I'm relishing this cranberry discussion.

Cranberry mayo and cranberry-orange mayo are perfect for that leftover turkey, mashed potato, dressing/stuffing whichever you have, and cheese sub/sandwich on Sunday!
 
Fresh cranberries, chopped/minced. Add orange peel, also chopped/minced. Add a buttload of sugar. Let the mess set and flavors blend. A weird bittersweet flavor that will make your teeth feel like they're rotting away in record time.
 
Most controversial opinion:
Everyone in the world should learn the same primary language. I don't care if it's an existing one or one created for the purpose, but it's beyond stupid that we don't all share a language. This only becomes more true the more connected the world gets. Local languages could still be kept as second languages to preserve cultural identities.
I don't know if it's still true, but I remember reading at one time that more people around the world spoke English (even if it was their second, third, fourth, etc. language) than any other.

Went to Belgium and Netherlands recently and everyone spoke English. English is also universal language for air travel considering air traffic control is almost always in English. Close enough.

Har! Any proposition that begins with "Everyone in the world should" ends with an exercise in futility, and language is certainly too mutable and slippery for such a project; we would be hard-pressed to carry on a conversation with an English speaker of 500 years ago, and I, as an American, have longed for subtitles while watching a Danny Boyle movie. Hell, I don't understand what the kids today are talking about half the time. :unsure:
