Donald Trump is a criminal and unfit to hold public office. He's dangerous, delusional, a pathological liar, and probably needs to be in an asylum under medical care.

I'm tempted to continue this conversation, but I don't think this is the place for it. I appreciate your civil response. Thanks!

I did vote for trump and besides his abrasive character he kept a lot of his campaign pledges and had a great economy. Biden needs to take a cognitive test immediately. He has no business being in charge of the military.
Joel Strauss (Submission author) 2 years ago
And Trump does? Sorry, I wouldn't want that pudgy little finger anywhere near the proverbial button! Do you know how many licensed mental health professionals have called him, let's see,where to start, psychotic, sociopathic, narcissistic. Oh, and delusional. President Biden may not be a great president, but he's a whole Constitution better than Trump.

Are you kidding? I never heard Biden tell people in national TV that drinking BLEACH might cure COVID. And I've never seen evidence that Biden tried to overthrow the government! Or throw rolls of toilet paper to disaster victims. Or claim that being famous is great because you can grab women's "p*ssies." And Joe Biden doesn't make friends with autocratic dictators, nor does he praise their"genius" when they wage unprovoked war.

Assault rifles that shoot multiple rounds in seconds are manufactured for the sole purpose of killing large numbers of people in a short time. They are not made for hunting, protection, or target practice. They should be banned. The Second Amendment does not give ordinary citizens the right own weapons of mass destruction, nor does it require that firearms can't be regulated.

Fascinating. This one makes sense. Even if you were protecting yourself from an intruder, you probably wouldn't need this kind of weapon, unless it was a whole group of people, in which case you have bigger problems on your hands.

Political parties don’t matter. Shouldn’t even exist. I don’t need to argue with everyone about everything until the end of time just because one is red and the other is blue. I don’t have to agree with everyone either. Just because you think you’re right doesn’t mean you have to be a pain about it. Yelling at someone won’t change their mind. Our president should be a cat. They’re just about as selfless as any we’ve ever had. I’ve got 4 and they’d eat me if I slept in too late.

I'd have to agree, in that politicians in the USA vote on legislation based on their party's line, which more often than not is in direct opposition to what their constituents want. America is supposed to be a representational democracy, but politicians don't represent their constituents anymore, they represent their party.

Anti-abortionism is based solely on religion. The government, therefore, has no business whatsoever legislating it's availability or lack thereof. By banning abortion, the government is affirming one religion over another. That is unconstitutional. See the First Amendment. It's fine to believe that life begins at conception. That belief is faith-based, though. There are other religions whose traditions maintain that life doesn't even begin until birth, in some religions even days after birth. By banning abortion, women of those religions are being denied their religious freedom

If your opinion is against a human right, that’s not an opinion. Your being discriminate. (e.g. “queer people shouldn’t get married” Marriage-human right Queer people-human. They deserve that right)

There are some women that hide behind their own gender- They can mock men, body shaming them, laugh at their mental etc but should it happen to them...
They are the type to be "feminists" but than criticise and backstab women
Those who get it , get it
Same thing applies to the lgbtq community, they talk the talk but there is biphobia transphobia etc, they have their own drama

My close-ish friend (idk, i've known them for years but we're kind of distant now) who's aroace, nonbinary and gay said I was "more of a lesbian" and basically that I couldn't be bi. I'm assuming their reasoning was that I tend to be attracted more to the same sex, but believe me I still get male crushes from time to time and I'm bi and I'm valid. Oh yeah they also said I didn't fit into "the agender role cause you're really feminine" (note, I've been trying SO HARD to avoid being feminine. And there's nothing wrong with being feminine but it's just not my thing personally.) Then they tried to pass it off as a joke. So yeah we really do have our own drama...

No matter what you say, you can always offend someone in someway. There can never be a way to not offend everyone, that would be impossible.

If you wear a piece of clothing that was made to accentuate a certain part or area of the body, don't act shocked and insulted when people notice and/or comment on said part or area.
Women with large breasts are particularly guilty of this. I was accused once of "inappropriate behavior" by a woman who chose to accentuate her ample bosoms with her choice of clothes. These breasts were so prominent that even I, a gay man with absolutely no erotic interest in any part of a female body, could not keep my eyes from wandering down below her neckline. WTF?

While I get you shouldn't be offended that someone notices said body part, it really isn't that polite to comment on someone's body unless it's not rude/positive. Even it's true, it might not be the right thing to say, you know?

Jesus would have never approved of what is going on right now. The hate and anger in our world would disgust him. We’ve morphed Jesus into somebody he’s not and keep forgetting the basic message: love and respect everybody, not just a choice few.

You are allowed to have an opinion, until your opinion is disproven with cold hard facts, then you're just dumb.

I agree with you in principle. But a person is entitled to an opinion, even if it's not based on demonstrable facts. On the other hand, if said opinion is expressed as an insult, or if the person refuses to even listen to the other side, then they would do best to just keep it to themselves.

People shouldn't compare their sufferings. we all don't live the same lives.
It doesn't matter if someone is suffering more than you, talk about yourself, others suffering more than you don't mean that you are not suffering.
Depression is not a flex, nor a phase, it's an illness, you don't flex an illness you treat it to improve your well-being. it's not easy, yes but you are not alone either.
Genz, millennials, boomers we all are products of the time we live in, completely different from each other, older gen needs to comprehend this, just in the same way you started from zero we are doing the same, it's natural.

Well, I don't think this is a controversial statement at all. It's well-known that eating disorders are incredibly serious, and one of the most deadly mental illnesses.
