This is just a thread for EvCers to list their most controversial opinions. Whether these opinions are worthy of futher debate is up to the community to decide. It's my hope that some opinions will spark posters to create new threads based on these opinions. It's also my hope that posters won't use this as an opportunity to spew hatred and bigotry!
I'll start...
1) I think time flows in both directions. We just haven't learned how to receive signals sent from the future
2) I think the integrated circuit board is reverse-engineered alien technology from whatever crashed in Roswell N.M.
3) I don't think O.J. did it. I think his oldest son did.
4) I think Heaven and Hell are only as real as we make them.
5) I think there's life on Europa. (More of a hope than an opinion I guess)
6) I think people are initially good. Fear and laziness is what makes us "fall from grace"

NOTE TO ADMINS: I think this belongs in the "Coffee Shop", but if you know of a better location go ahead and put it there.

i not only fail to see the supposed difference between humans and other animals, i also think most people are generally dumber than my cats
LOL. I agree! I have two cats and their behavior is many times more mature than that of the typical person I encounter. Especially people in groups. We do seem to become dumber in direct proportion to the number of people in our "pack". Which leads me to a new controversial opinion...
People who hate cats feel threatened by them because they don't trust the feline's independent mind. I think it's because they themselves don't know or understand how to think independently.

Re: If you wanted controversy, controversy so you shall have
quote:
I couldn't help but notice this one. You might be the only person on the planet that believes this. So, what kind of evidence exists to support such a lofty assertion?
To be honest I haven't really researched this to any great length but there are the "facts" and conclusions I drew from them that led me to believe his eldest son did it.
1) Blood matching O.J.s was found at the scene: I'm no biologist so I could be wrong but wouldn't O.J.'s son's blood be very likely to match his?
2) O.J. acted very "guilty" in the wake of the murderers: If it's true that he really didn't do it, only someone very close to him would cause O.J. to act the way he did. The only person I can think he'd be inclined to protect would be a family member.
3) O.J.'s eldest children (not by Nicole) didn't like her at all: Speaks for itself and my provide motive
4) The glove didn't fit: It's more likely that the glove simply wasn't on his hand than that it shrunk and all that other jazz. Perhaps that glove fits his son's hand?
I'm not married to this opinion by any means. If we are going to discuss this much further I say go ahead and propose a new thread :-)
