Unpopular opinion: I disagree with Phillip Seymour Hoffman being showered with all this praise and sympathy after his death. In fact, I think he's a worthless piece of crap. He chose to stick his arm with heroin instead of being the attentive father he should have been that morning by taking his kids to school. That's another thing. Once you become a father, you need to stop doing crap like that.

You see, I can't agree with any of that (I know, unpopular opinions for a reason) because I'm well aware that for a lot of people, vices never really go away. Not even when you're clean for a long time. It will always be something that sticks with you. Just like how if someone quits smoking or drinking, they still constantly have those urges to smoke or drink again. That's the same with heroin (Hell, one could say it's much worse)

I didn't expect anyone to agree with me, given people's stances on addiction and their love for PSH.

I liked the 1st and 3rd Star Wars prequels. Also I believe that half of the complaints about the prequels are just people over reacting

If handling addiction was as easy as just stopping, there'd be a lot more fewer dead people and the need for a lot fewer studies.

Just like how if someone quits smoking or drinking, they still constantly have those urges to smoke or drink again. That's the same with heroin (Hell, one could say it's much worse) This. If you want to know just how bad addiction is, read Mike Doughty (the singer)'s memoir The Book of Drugs. He got addicted to pretty much everything that existed. That was compounded by being treated like utter crap by now former bandmates. It took a mental breakdown in public at WB Studios during a meeting with record execs for him to realize he needed help. He did get clean in 2000, and is to this day, but he still goes to meetings when he's not touring. Not only does he get to share his story with others, but it keeps himself in check in the process. Even if you're clean for the rest of your life, you will always be an addict. The urge never goes away. That's why Jake Roberts and Scott Hall had all their issues, and always will, even if they stay clean.

I hate the stupid fake and made up names some parents come up with for their children. It's assholish, but I'd laugh if you had to register the name online to have it be legal, and it kept rejecting the stupid made up name the parent wanted like the way they reject certain passwords or usernames, whilst giving you proper suggestions, until you're forced to concede and just go, "Ok, fine! His name is David!" or something. All f***ing names are made up. I don't know why people can't wrap their minds around this concept. Just because your name is connected to an ancient scroll or a toothless family member that saved your nanner nan from a well doesn't mean your name is "real". It just means your name is old. Plus, many of the names that are deemed fake come from different cultures. Speaking of kids' names: There is a special place in hell for parents that give their kids nicknames before the mother reaches her second trimester. First of all, the best nicknames are earned. I'm not going to call your kid Cobster because you think it's cool. I'm going to call your kid Cobster because his dumb ass did something gross with corn on the cob. Then there are the mom's that give their kids predetermined nicknames because the are bond and determine to give their kid a name everyone else has. If you find out that there are five other Sophies in your hood, buy a baby book and pick a new name.

I mean in New Zealand a few years ago some f***wits got into a tizzy because they couldn't name their child 4real and before that some couple tried to name their twins Benson & Hedges only to them to get told to pick something else.

Saying "Come at me, bro" is really, really stupid.
The wrestler's movements in the AKI games were too slow prior to Def Jam Vendetta, which corrected that. And yes, I did play Vendetta and one of the N64 titles.
Naruto went off the rails after the Sasuke Retrieval Arc. (I'm not really sure if that's an unpopular opinion)
Peter Parker in Spider-Man 3 is not emo. If he were, he'd be sulking throughout the film.

Like mine is a derivative of John, whickh means in its original Hebrew spelling "God is Gracious". And boy is he. He gave this forum me. That said, I'm talking about the idiotic names people come up with in a vain attempt to somehow have the best and most original name ever that'll surely put their special snowflake high above all others. It just reeks of arrogance. And I know because I can smell my own kind.

-while I think Johnny Cash's cover of "Hurt" is fantastic, the original is better.
-while it's a great game, FF7 isn't half as good as FF6 and FF7 was the game where the cracks in the franchise started to show.
-most of Alan Moore's material doesn't do much for me. not that it's bad, I just think other writers have handled similar themes better. his work often feels a bit too cold and sterile.

Final Fantasy 8 is one of my favorite Final Fantasy games. Its main fault, in my opinion, is a plot that doesn't really work out, but I enjoyed the aesthetic(RPGs are long. I better not get sick of looking at your game), music, characters, and hell, the Junction system didn't really cause me any grief. Not my favorite Final Fantasy, but it has a lot going for it, and has a lot of sentimental value to me. Also, Triple Triad, of course.

Serving in the military does not automatically make you a "hero" And what a soldier likes in his free time is not the military or the government's business unless it's illegal. If a soldier's only "Fault" is his sexual preference, that has nothing to do with what they can do on the battlefield. Same for sports, same for any profession.

If a soldier's only "Fault" is his sexual preference, that has nothing to do with what they can do on the battlefield. Same for sports, same for any profession. But with sports, you have to analyze that stuff because it affects team chemistry. If a guy frequently speaks his mind on Twitter, you have to be sure his loud mouth won't cause problems. If a guy is politically outspoken, you have to be sure he won't cause a rift in the team. If a guy likes dudes ala Michael Sam, you have to be sure the media circus will be under control and nobody will say something that causes a shitstorm. You can't just throw a bunch of random guys into a locker room and assume everything will be hunky dory. Off field stuff matters.
