controversial opinions - off topic version

Being a member of our armed forces does not make someone a hero.

The national news should stop feeling obliged to report every military death ('a British soldier has been killed in Helmand Province') unless something exceptional has happened.

I agree with this, it annoys me when I see 'all soldiers are heros' etc. Soldiers do however deserve our upmost respect, as they do something which the vast majority of us will not. Lots of soldiers are heros, however to join the army does not instantly make you one.

Exactly. But the media don't dare challenge the mythical world they have built around the army. The Sun is the worst for it.

The vast majority of us wouldn't eat shit sandwiches but it doesn't mean that people who eat shit sandwiches deserve our utmost respect ;)

People who say that being gay is a life choice are almost certainly bisexual

Think about it. If you think that being gay is as easy as a choice then you must have gay inclinations.

I've thought about it and no it doesn't mean i have gay inclinations.

People choose to be gay IMO.
Your opinion isn't controversial, it's just fucking stupid.
