I don't think I should pay taxes on money that I am making by investing the money I earned at work (on which taxes have already been paid).

Inheritance taxes are also a hilarity where I live. Let's say you make some

money, and you pay income tax on that. Then you save that money and put it

into the bank (or invest it otherwise), so you pay asset taxes on that same

money which has already been taxed (plus, as you say, you pay taxes on any

potential gains you make with that money, although I don't really have a

problem with that since that's new income you're making and hasn't been taxed

yet in our system, only your existing money has been taxed). You die and your

children inherit that money, and it gets taxed a third time. And if they keep

it, they will then again pay asset taxes on that each year as long as it stays

higher than a certain amount of money.

I don't really have a problem with taxes in principle (our state does build

many important and nice infrastructure projects and does many other things

I appreciate), but this kinda rubs me the wrong way TBH.

well i don't have anything against taxes in general, but I think that if I make money with Money that has been taxed already, then the new money should be mine and shouldn't have to be shared with the state. Say I buy stocks. When I sell them I pay capital tax. It is only 0.5-1% but still more than nothing.And it is not like the state is gonna reimburse me if I lose money :P

I think given a budget of 265 million, a much better game than GTA 5 could and should have been produced.

As a student in my university I think university sport is a waste of time.

I don't like beers, party and go clubing in the weekend.

The UK benefit system is a waste of tax payer money most of the time, the system is heavily abuse by people who don't want to go to work.

I like conservative party.

I don't hate rich people as long as they made their money legally.

As a Vietnamese, I want the US to win the war, I hate my country political system.

I like America.

That's all for now.

I dont really think mechanical keyboards are better for typing. In fact I think they may be worse. I have a mechanical green switch at the moment, 

Unless you have fingers like this 109033.jpg

Then obviously typing on Blacks/Greens with a hefty 60g actuation force will be harder than membranes. facepalm-f7e.gif

Go try out reds/blues/browns before giving an opinion on 'mechanical keyboards' which cover the entire spectrum!

On a relevant note, actually, here's a really cool documentary i watched about a finnish nuclear waste bunker that's being constructed. Covers the nuclear storage issue. Called "Into Eternity". Kinda crazy stuff. Anyone seen it?

Anywho here's an article by wired UK that covers it: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-09/20/into-eternity-nuclear-waste-finland

99% of humans are selfish pricks, and those who don't see that are either naive or stupid.

I think LEDs are tacky since the light is uneven.

LED fans are sin.

Asrock motherboards aren't as bad as you think, BIOS/UEFI is terrible though.

Android is meh, IOS is meh but slightly more reliable.

I'll add more as they come to mind.

I felt disgusted inside just watching that... I find it funny when a cop gets wrecked by people standing their ground against the corrupt pigs. Not sure if this opinion is unpopular or not, but whatevs.

Well here I go :)

 

1. I love CoD

 

2. I love Windows 8

 

3. I don't like Half-Life2

 

4. I actually enjoy consoles a lot

 

5. Windows 7 was bland and boring

 

6. While water-cooling looks cool, I think it is utterly pointless.

 

7. League of Legends is stupid

 

8. Minecraft is fun and addicting

 

and I guess I have millions of more I could add, but I'll stop there. :)

I only dislike the typical 12 year old COD players, don't hate the actual game or its fans.

 

Windows 8 is alright with classic shell.

 

I never played any of the series and don't get why there is so much hype for a 3rd installment that will never happen.

 

There are more fun console exclusives to PC exclusives in my eyes. PC has the power, but Nintendo has the magic.

 

My Win7 is visual modded to look nicer lol..

 

I have my chip at 4.5Ghz on a dinky air cooler with 92mm fans, I'll have to agree here.

 

I don't play LoL.

 

Don't play myself, but my GF is addicted and the style has some fun uniqueness about it.

 

You're an okay guy. :D

1. I love CoD - Don't play the franchise, so no comments :P

 

2. I love Windows 8 - I never gave it a chance so i don't have the right to complain :L

 

3. I don't like Half-Life2 - Never played it, serious  :ph34r: 

 

4. I actually enjoy consoles a lot - Gameboy & PSP +1, PS and Xbox, just no.

 

5. Windows 7 was bland and boring - Bland but functional good enough for me :P Visual themes ftw!

 

6. While water-cooling looks cool, I think it is utterly pointless. - True fact +1 for 99% of the community.

 

7. League of Legends is stupid - This is the only point i strongly disagree on :P  There is an extreme depth of complexity in MOBAs above it's shell, unless you mean LoL is stupid relative to DotA.... I concur xD

 

8. Minecraft is fun and addicting - Very!

 

and I guess I have millions of more I could add, but I'll stop there. :)

Like Mooshi said, you're an OK guy  B)

Hey asswipe, I did. Ive tried blues and reds. Great job jumping to conclusions that are nowhere evident in my post. I said Im using a green switch, and insttead of asking, you assumed I havent tried anything else. Before trying to put me down with face palms and telling me the futility of my opinion maybe you should ask a question or two to make sure you have the right opinion of my opinon. Confused?

 

And I have no idea why you decided to quote mechanical keyboards. Was there a point to that or was it like the rest of your post?

Yea a little bit. Maybe a bit out of proportion now that I re-read it. But if he wants to criticize me and my opinion with memes, then Ill call a spade what it is. By the way I thought this was an unpopular opinions thread?

It is, and sometimes these opinions create a bit of backlash (although for the most

part this thread has actually been rather civil so far). ;)

The Second Amendment is still relevant in today's societies.

Barack Obama is a terrible president.

I voted for him in '08 regret it ever since.

Sports meh.

It's perfectly alright to read Ezekiel Chapter 23 out loud to young children because its the word of some invisible superman.

I'm only kidding about the last one.  That's just Bible porn.

Laws only govern the honest.

"Barack Obama is a terrible president" isn't an unpopular opinion.
