- I will fucking go off my nut the next time someone says the following songs are bad:  1990, 1991 omfg k callum k  2014 1995  1996  1997  1998 These songs aren't badly considered at all by the ESC fans in general, I don't see why liking them should be a kind of "unpopular opinion"  - If you have time to watch Eurovision, you should also have time to watch decades before + 100000000 In my opinion, the best ESC songs were sent before 2000   |

-  2013 doesn't deserve to even have the status as a song. ERT went off air most likely in embarrassment rather than government decisions  another unpopular opinion - I believe that 2013 was the first good Greek song since... I don't know, "Horepse" (1997), I think. |

Yeah great, make 85% of the world population criminals for those few hundreds or thousands who misuse their religion to do harm   Seriously, how can you think religious people are any different than you. Most of them are just like you but use their religion as support in their life, as a guideline, like you might use other opinions of yours as a guideline. Why should you care that it might be 'bad' to believe in a God. Don't bother us, most of us don't bother you. *I don't like to start a fight, but if people are unreasonable, I'd have to react, sorry. Okay, you made several assumptions in that post of yours..... I'm assuming from what you said that you think that was aimed at Islam believers (not true) and that you assumed I believe believing God is wrong. Yet again not true. I guess I should have said why I thought so - I've got nothing against religious people and I respect them and what they choose to believe and their way of life, I just personally think it should be done away with as a whole because it's the number 1 reason people can't agree on things....... People are killing others in the Middle East over land. Why? Religion. A few people felt the need to invade Charlie Hebdo and cause grief to a country. Why? Religion. Gay people were denied the basic human right to marry the person they love. Why? Religion. As I said before, I have nothing against people who practice religion but the whole topic of religion as a whole causes so much hate and discrimination amongst people. If it was done away with completely, there'd be a lot less hate among everyone in the world. Not starting to try an argument, just backing up my points.Okay, you made several assumptions in that post of yours as well...For instance, you assumed that I assumed that you were talking about Islam (which is not true, I'm Christian myself). A second thing, how can something be illegal and yet not wrong. A bit contradictory, isn't it. Now it's my turn to explain why I thought so - I on my part have nothing against atheist people and respect them, their choice of believes and their way of life. I disagree that religion is the number 1 reason to disagree. Why? People kill for many more reasons than that they have a different religion. For example, a lot of wars are about posession of territory, nationalities or ethnicities. That's not a ground to ban posession of territory, nationalities or ethnicities. A lot of attacks, for instance by the ETA or the Rote Armee, had nothing to do with religion, but with difference in ethnicity or political views. That's not a ground to ban ethnicities and political views. Religious people are denied their basic human right to worship whoever they want and are put away in prisons in several countries. Why? Forced atheism. That's not a ground to ban atheism. Moreover, about gays, not every religious person is a gay-basher who yells 'God hates fags' at every passerby, I hate those as well, but that's not what religion was meant to be, that's what some idiots have done to it. Last, religion has not only the side of extremism and discrimination, what atheism and politics have as well. There is also a very good side to religion, which you will lose if it is banned. For instance, Christian theology has the core value of loving and helping other people, so you'll see a lot of Christians doing very good work in charity. This core value of helping for instance, the poor, is also present in Muslim theology, and is very helpful as well on your way to a better next life in Buddhism and Hinduism. What this means is that you will also lose a lot of what makes up a humane society if you will ban religion. If it was done away with completely, there'd be a lot less love among everyone in the world. |

I can see your points and they're valid, and I totally understand and respect where you're coming from. I'm entitled to my opinion just as your entitled to your own - hence the title 'Unpopular Opinions'. I would most likely go on trying to defend my POV but it's not going to really go anywhere except back and forth between the two of us. |

Some things about me with ESC stuff: - I've never considered  Estonia 2001 as a bad winner, in fact, it's probably my 6th on my top atm  - Usually, my favorites are just flopes. None of my favorites won since 2007. - The 90's was the best decade for ESC music  - My favorite songs (top 2 so far) of all times in ESC is "Volare" and "Nocturne". -  Georgia 2014 was a masterpiece for me and  Belarus 2014 was my winner. - I'm still baffled by the "whole fan-army" fangirling over a song or so because it goddamn won recently or they consider it the best song ever or so (example: My Number One, Euphoria, Only Teardrops, etc). - I actually acted awkward between some my ESC friends of which their favorite winner of the decade was  "Running Scared" and for me it's like the worst winner ever. - I love  Finland's 2006 winning entry. ^-^ Rock on! \m/ - 2008 and 2011 are by far my worst years. - 2009 and 2012 my best years (of this decade). - I hate the girls which ship a winner with another winner and try to convince the whole world that their "shipping" is a real couple - I hate the ones which consider ESC more like a Beauty Pageant and not an actual music contest - Saw tops of which only good-looking girls without talent were like on top 3 spots lmao. - I also hate the homophobes or attention whores hating singers out of the songs. (The former LGBT participants in ESC got this pretty badly, and I feel like they never deserved all the hate which they still receive.) |

Not all is about religion. Just look at the 30yrs War if you are uneducated and don't know sht.

- I find most of the artists whom people put here on their avatars mediocre and overrated at best (most are awful and untalented, in my honest opinion, though); though there are some exceptions. Hope you like the ones who write their own songs  |
