Unpopular opinions

[Megatron1505]

I fucking hate the term "lol" too 

[Megatron1505]

Here's a real unpopular opinion for everyone. You're all, each and every one of you and me included, complete hypocrites.

We have all made a fuss about cheap labour, child labour, unsafe working conditions in some countries and exploitation etc….

Anyone here shop at IKEA? Anyone have ethically produced bedding, towels, cutlery, carpets, TV's, smart phones, games consoles, computers, home furnishings and decorations? All of it ethically produced?

Let's be honest here, we all pick and choose our ethics to our own interests, budgets and tastes don't we? None of us are Snow White on this because not many can be. The mass market has beat you down somewhere in your life and there's nothing you can do about it.

Now that's how you do an unpopular opinion.

Mega. I think you have stated a fact.

[Megatron1505]

An uncomfortable fact 

[BloodnThunder]

Right.  That was borderline the same as saying all humans are incredibly flawed.  It is my opinion but it's also a fact.

For the record, I completely agree with you.

I literally laughed out loud though! I don't use it lightly

Uncomfortable fact, not an unpopular opinion.

And by the way, I went to the gym earlier, so literally everything I'm wearing was likely made by third world children and from fibers originating in a refinery.

[Megatron1505]

How can insulting the purported values of every man, woman and child on the forum not be unpopular ? :o

Dark times indeed

Here's an unpopular one…. Not trying to grow and learn to do better is much worse than just being a hypocrite. It's being a void surrounded by a sphincter.

Where do you buy your towels?

Duh.

My towels were made in Austria, so entirely first world.

[JCMx800]

Many of my towels are made in Belgium, so they´re third world too

The same place I get all my extra heavily soiled underwear: Goodwill. No… The grandparents gift towels to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ. No idea why, it must be a cultural thing. Maybe it's just something us Catholic Republicans do here in 'Merica... Guns, TV, suburbia, Limbaugh, wall-mart, Trump, Jesus, and towels; the American dream!

If I were to help pick out towels though, I'd get these color grown cotton ones because they become more vibrant if you piss on them. Seriously, it has something to do with chemical reaction to changes in PH level.....

Your towels are from China aren't they 

[Chris]

Mine are from India.  I haven't pissed on them, but I'm pretty sure that won't change the color.

Yessir

My towels are made in Turkey. I'm a terrible person.

Both Monocle and the Conran Shop sell Japanese made towels, if you want to be a socially conscious hipster.
