I'm a 20 year old swimming teacher.

One of the children I teach told me I looked "39, because I looked just a little bit younger than his dad."

He failed.

Correlation? Causation? I'll leave that to you to decide. :p
I'm an 18 year old swimming teacher.

When I revealed my age to one of my classes they looked shocked. Asked how old they thought I was one girl was like "I thought you were older.......like 19" :p.

I'm 18, I go to Melbourne Uni, I drink lattes, I live in SE Melbourne.

Not everyone is like that, but I do agree that there can be people with the personality that fit your stereotype.
Do you study Arts? :p

Smart phones and the activities associated with them are largely negative and severely overrated as a mobile device.

-Americanisation of Australian culture (i.e. American vernacular, media, and culture dominating Australia) isn't a good thing.

-Change/progress isn't always a good thing that should be blindly accepted by everyone. It should be judged on it's merits.

-People are not "born" gay (or straight for that matter).

-The media are heavily biased towards the left wing.

-Australia should become a republic.

-If god or some kind of supreme entity exists, it probably isn't a divine, sentient being. Also, creation and evolution are not necessarily two mutually exclusive things.

As you've probably gathered by now, I have loads of unpopular opinions.

Except that one about sexual orientation none of those are wild out there unpopular at all.

I think Rupert Murdoch would be surprised at being described as left wing.
I didn't say 'correct' but I did say they weren't unpopular. Most readers of Murdoch papers/viewers of Fox News believe every single other media outlet is heavily biased toward the left. :p

After finishing exams for the semester, I prefer to go home and just do nothing because I can (without feeling bad about it), rather than go out and get buckled. I just cbf going out after all the study/lack of sleep, I'd rather recharge my batteries and save it for the weekend.

there really is no difference between a capuccino and a latte outside of the chocolate no?

there are varying levels of froth but it's all about airy-fairy really. it should just be flat white, foam white no choc, foam white with choc.

any royal family is really the wrong way to do things.

i gotta admit i do like harry. i reckon he can see how stupid the whole thing and is just taking advantage of it.

i'd probably do the same.
I'm sure some of them are alright people, Harry strikes me as one of them, but monarchies are so outdated and pointless.

I'm just making a guess here, but I'm sure they don't help Britain's issues with classes in society?

Kings Of Leon are great. Songs like Arizona, Fans and Milk are excellent. Sex On Fire and Use Somebody not so.

This isn't an unpopular opinion, it's just the comment on some other posts in this thread.

I also love Happy Gilmore, and think Adam Sandler is/was pretty funny (except for shit like Jack and Jill).

-Our worst criminals deserve sympathy and understanding, not hatred.

-Long-term relationships which demand monogamy are absurd and the average LTR in Australia is a demonstration not of love but of immature animalistic feelings of ownership - the antithesis of genuine love.

-The Australian education system is poor and getting worse.

-Most children born in the outer suburbs of our major cities are unintended by at least one of the parents.

-Democracy is not always the best form of government.

-As our tax dollars are spent by our elected officials on aggressive wars against innocent parties we are all fair game for terrorists who suffer at the hands of our wars.

-'Morality' does not exist outside of the minds of simple people. Ethics is a different matter and I accept that without further definition of key terms this is a hard concept for many to grasp.

-MDMA, LSD, cannabis and magic mushrooms should all be legal and regulated. All come out better on cost-benefit ratios (to individuals and societies) than alcohol.

-Mariah Carey's 'Fantasy' is still an awesome track after all of these years.

The first two of these aren't really that unpopular..

Number 3 depends if you're a girl/gay man or not how it will be perceived though.
