Fatty meats are good for you.

I never had a Facebook account.

I love what the government has done.

If that era was so awesome, why do my photos of that period make me cringe? Just start with the shoes for example.

We still love The Bee Gees.

Those kids could really dance. Without grinding and twerking. They really had a great time.

So we are glad there was disco. Although not our taste in music, we totally understood it.

In the past, I have smelled weed and it seemed acrid and a little unpleasant, but that was all. Maybe there is a new strain, or more than one, because my housemate's weed smells like baloney and unwashed balls. (Or it may actually be him.)

Animals eat animals all the time. Animals rights activists sometimes take the perspective that we shouldn't use animals in any way to serve our needs because we are not better or different from them, but if you bring up animals eating animals, they say that as humans we should aspire to "higher standards". Which is it?

Some disco is fun and some is not.

Some movies that others think are bad are beloved by others. Some movies are so bad that they are fun to watch to see how bad they can get. And others are bad on levels that endanger human health.

My own unpopular opinion: People have a right to be wrong in their own homes. So, if you have racist relatives, you can tell them honestly how you feel about that. But if you are in their home, you can leave because you disagree with them but it's not your place to lecture them over Thanksgiving dinner.

It's better to politely refuse the invitation in the first place because their racist conversations make you uncomfortable--and you can tell them that. . .Or you can be a coward like me and come up with some excuse why you can't be there.

I'm very sensitive to bitter tastes. I don't like cilantro either. To me, it tastes like soap.

Some weed does smell nasty, but not all of it.

There was some great disco and some folks could really tear up the dance floor and that was fun to watch. I was never one of those people though.

I eat meat.

I've gotten something out of just about every movie I've ever watched, but Lars von Trier's "Nymphomaniac" is 4 hours of my life I'll never get back.
