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?

There are many cases of people being sentenced to death wrongfully. For that reason the punishment shouldn't exist.

Can't open the article, but I agree, the punishment shouldn't exist -- except for those like the people I listed previously. I figure they might as well be put to some good use. People such as Carlos DeLuna and Cameron Todd Willingham should not be counted among the likes of Ted Bundy, and should not have been executed.
