Umbrellas should be banned
Only people who can swim the hundred metres freestyle in under 70 seconds in a 50m pool should be allowed in the fast lane at public swimming pools

That is not an unpopular opinion though.
Some of my unpopular opinions (as proved by previous slanging matches on TTM):
Tanning salons should be banned and all that use them are setting a bad example, especially to children.
Horse racing is great.
Skiing is not.
Women are as bad as men and vice versa.

If you are over 15 and genuinely excited about StarWars, or any other film adaptation of a comic book, you are a wanker.
If you are interested in celebrities you are a retard.
Lifestyle Magazines are for sheep. Mens Health magazine is for closet homosexuals.
Expensive bicycles are a waste of money. All bikes have two wheels and have to be pedalled, so does it really make a difference if yours is made out of NASA grade titanium.
Adults who talk about kids TV shows being 'like, really trippy' are total losers.
I could think of lots more.

depends what you use your bike for
if you're cycling round starnbergersee, for instance, then it is definitely worth investing in a bike with good gears and decent suspension (and a helmet)
altough nasa grade titanium or whatever might be a tad ott

1. Passports should be abolished and people should be able to live and work wherever in the world they want.
2. Organised religion means that technologically, we are several hundred years behind where we would have been without the repression on free thinking and new ideas through religious dogma.
3. Political conservatives have no vision
4. We are working far too long nowadays. In the last 30 years, there have been huge advances in Computer, communication, etc technology which means that office workers are able to work far more efficiently than 50 or 60 years ago, yet work the same hours. If we are using all these time saving devices, then what's happened to all the extra time? Salaries have also not increased on relative scale. Surely it takes only a day to do the same amount of work that took a week previously. Obviously, each person working in an office is creating far more output than ever before in the past. Big Companies and businesses must have a lot more money through this increase, but are continually sacking and reducing staff numbers, crying poor. We're all suckers and are falling for it, while the execs are laughing all the way to the bank.

American Football players are definately giant pussies as they wear helmets, body armour, tights and only play for about 10 seconds before a break.

About 80% of people in Universities today are too thick (to put it bluntly) to be there. They are getting worthless degrees at the end of which they end up being a graduate shelf-stacker at Asda's or similar.

American football is gay. Their beer is water. Apart from that, top people.
Princess Di was just another person who died in a crash. She was probably driving the car herself.
The 95% of soccer players who stay down after being tripped up holding their noses, foreheads or whatever are pussies. Get up. If it hurts so much get off the ground.
Marmite is a poor, poor cousin of Vegemite.
