Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it’s actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that’s really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

    I’m ok with paying taxes for universal healthcare and infrastructure. Welfare for anyone who isn’t mentally/phisically disabled (on various levels) can go to hell. No unemployment benefits, no state-funded child support.

      Universal healthcare would go a long way to improve all of the latter, however to play cause and effect; If you remove unemployment and child-support, you’ve inevitably now increased the homeless population and driven others to crime. How you do now deal with that?

        I moved 4 times, over 1k kilometers total for work, while all my peers where sitting on their asses and crying that there’s no future in the shithole we were born in. I do not have sympathy for such people. So answering your question: first: I don’t care. If you have two hands there’s nothing justifying you. Second: If you brake the law, you face the consequences.

          You had money to move. You didn’t need/want to live around your family. You had the skills to get a job somewhere else. You had the educational foundation to gain those skills.

          Your brash response and lack of answers tells me you really don’t know though, so we can leave it there.

            My family lost everything in a flood when I was 8. My parents lower working class. I left home/moved 1st time at 18. I had nothing to inherit and nothing to lose. The ticket was 3$. While textbooks were not free, attending school was. I accept excuses from people that got caught in a natural disaster or a war only.
