What's some really unpopular opinion you have? (lemmings.world)

Most of the time when people say they have an unpopular opinion, it turns out it's actually pretty popular.

Do you have some that's really unpopular and most likely will get you downvoted?

Assisted suicide is good for society and if legalised would help fix my countries broken healthcare system

I supported assisted suicide until I read your comment.

Get injured in the US, now I'll live the rest of my life with debt I can never repay and I'll never be able to spend money on what I want.

Or before the surgery, tell me how much it will cost. Then I can choose between a lifetime of debt or assisted suicide.

As long as religious people run things, the US will never have a federal level assisted suicide law.

In Canada they have MAID program and it appears to just be used as an excuse not to help people. Curious your thoughts on this? https://beta.ctvnews.ca/national/politics/2022/12/2/1_6179325.amp.html

I used to be all for this program but I don't think it was implemented with good intentions. Instead of fixing the country they are just telling us to kill ourselves. They know that anyone who kills themselves is just going to be replaced by 10 immigrants anyway
