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?

Would you be able to own a marble countertop in your kitchen? Who owns the quarry it came from?

Nice thing I could also just park my car on every bit of dirt.

I guess that depends on what they meant by "land". Is marble land?

Or maybe no marble for anyone. The only materials we can use are non-land based.

Good luck even owning a car if the metal and fuel have to be taken from the land! A wooden frame bicycle would be possible, maybe? Would you be able to use rubber? Idk anything about how rubber is processed, but that also probably uses land-based stuff either as a fuel or some sort of chemical.
