I think that churches need to be taxed, many have been preaching politics from the pulpit which is in clear violation of the conditions of the Johnson amendment which grants them tax exemption. I also think there needs to be more investigations into sexual abuse allegations of many of the largest churches, and serious consequences levied against them. We already have numerous allegations from the Mormon church, Catholic church, and Jehovah Witnesses. So I think they need to be investigated fully and have wide reaching consequences.

    I really didn’t like trump, but, I did think that republicans shouldn’t be shamed for having opinions. Like, how would y’all dems like it if someone was all up in your face 24/7 saying: you burn in hell. Nobody likes you you are a disgrace to America and we hate you. It sickens me that things like this are always ok to be said to republicans but not dems. Never ever dems. It angers me every single day to an extent that is absolutely incredible. WHO YOU CALLING HATERS NOW?!?!?!?!?!?!?

    Thank you!! Trump is not the Republican party. He's a jerk that happened to get voted into office. I don't like him, but I do like some of the things he did in office.

    The Gop bent over backwards to embrace trump, He is a republican and they must live with what they created. I mean you had every single republican besides Romney sing trump's praises and went out of their way to please him. Look at Cruz, Rubio, McConnel, Graham, Cotton, and many others accepted him, so no he is a Republican now. That is the new face of the GOP.

    Reminds me of videos I've seen where a guy's in a blue state and walks up to random people and asks if they'd be friends with a Republican. They always freak out and say "no, I could never, they're too intolerant." Then the guy goes to a red state, and asks random people if they'd be friends with a Democrat. They're just like, "yeah, fine. I wouldn't agree with them on everything, but I'd still be friends." It's exactly like you said, who are the intolerant ones?

    I think the intolerant label comes into play, because in a blue state or city, we're more likely to have a diverse group of friends who are actively hurt by policies like the ban on trans people openly serving in the military. It's excruciating to watch people you care about have their rights stripped away, simply because they're being true to who they are. Likewise, the "friendship" offered by Republicans in the videos you mention - can it be a genuine friendship, if you adamantly believe that the other person is not entitled to the same rights as you?

    Republicans did say that for 8 years during the Obama administration, they even questioned his religion and citizenship. I think republicans should be shamed for enabling trump and some of their opinions like calling dems commies, snowflakes, and saying F' your feelings.

    That any organizations that receive federal money or tax payer money should not have the right to discriminate against anyone based on sexual orientation, race, or religion. Looking at you bible belt. If you are a federal employee you don't have the right to discriminate period. If you have religious reasons why you can't serve a LGBTQ person (which I think their reasons are BS) then you should be removed from your job.

    Wearing a mask doesn't make you immune to COVID.

    Please understand I'm NOT suggesting that you shouldn't wear a mask when you're in close proximity to others - you definitely should! But it seems like some people are starting to get the impression that wearing a mask will grant you 100% protection from the virus, which it doesn't. Especially if you're wearing a non-medical mask. Although your odds are decreased, you can still get COVID or make someone else sick even if you're both wearing a mask - especially if you're indoors and in close proximity to each other. So be vigilant, listen to your Public Health authority, practice social distancing, and keep wearing your mask (:

    a) I hate the whole hype about 'wrong pronous'. I have absolutely no problem calling you he/she if you‘re transgender, but 'xor'?

    b) At least in Germany, gender-neutral writing is a pain in the neck. I get and approve of the intention, but our languange sadly isn’t made for that in krs current form. For example, I‘m not allowed to call our library users 'users' anymore because in German, there‘s a male and a female word for 'user'. So in order to keep things gender neutral, I have to write 'the using one'. Which leads to wonderful constructions like 'The working one must scan the library card of the using one.' As someone who writes a lot of instructions, that drives me nuts. Makes texts bloated and much more difficult to understand. We need a whole new system for gender neutral writing to work properly, but I don’t think that will happen anytime soon.

    That cats should NOT be allowed to roam and they have also HAVE to be desexed.

    Tomato sauce should be kept in the cupboard even though it says to refrigerate after opening on the bottle lol. Can’t stand cold sauce on my hot food.

    Peanut butter cups and candy corn are absolutely revolting. And salt water taffy is highly overrated.

    Steak needs to be cooked medium to medium-well done.

    Coffee and Alcohol are the absolute worst.

    Beyoncé, Elvis, The Beatles and Mariah Carey are not that great.

    You don’t need a label for every tiny little difference in your sexuality etc like aroace, cisgender, genderqueer, grey sexual etc. Everyone has different preferences and sex drive, are we going to start labelling people that are only attracted to tall people, disabled people, big breasts only, brains etc. Just stick with the basics like LGBTQIA+.

    This is probably the one I will get most of the flack for but here it goes. Everything you say can be considered offensive to someone so we need to stop censoring the words themselves but consider the intent in which the person uses it. For example using the word female in general is not a transphobic word, he/she/her/him in general etc are not insults to individuals who are gender fluid, black as a descriptive word is not an insult unless used in a derogatory manner. Same as the word fat. I used to find it so hurtful when people used the term but then realised it is how they use the term that matters. We need to try and stop letting words effect us and focus more on the person using the words and the intent in which they are used.

    I understand why LGBTQ peeps are fighting for marriage equality, totally. But. Why marriage, an already broken institution. Why not make a new word, same privileges. I don't want to get married because the original purpose of marriage has absolutely nothing to do with love; the woman was given as property to ensure legitimate children for a man. I don't have a particular religion either. So a new word would be great for people like me too.

    Pence would have been a better president than Trump. I mean, he was the first Republican who pleaded for the rioters two weeks ago to please leave peacefully. People also make fun of him for always having someone else in the room with him and a woman so that he could be faithful to his wife. If he does that much effort to be a good husband, then why not a great president?

    You're gender and your biological sex are the same thing. This is not to put down people who actually have gender dysphoria. Gender dysphoria, according to psychologist, is a psychological disorder that needs therapy. Just a like person who has schizophrenia, you wouldn't tell them, "Yes, listen to the voices." You would expect them to seek help and understand that the voices they hear is not reality. This is the same with gender dysphoria, just because you feel like the opposite gender does not make it reality.

    It's time for me to get downvoted into oblivion. I have a ton of unpopular opinions, or at least what are unpopular opinions on this website.

    1. I am pro-life. Since abortion is the killing of an innocent child, it should not be legal. Nobody should get to decide if an innocent child lives or dies.

    2. The media is crazy biased. It's really insane.

    3. Biological sex is what matters, not what someone makes up in their head. I'm not trying to be hateful. That's just a fact. People identifying as a gender that does not match their biological sex wouldn't be a problem if they didn't demand to be let in bathrooms and locker rooms that don't match their biology and to participate in sports or other activities that don't match their biology either.

    4. The BLM riots were very, very awful. Burning buildings, killing and assaulting people, and looting stores are not okay at all. Just to be clear, the Capitol riot was awful too. I don't support any riots.

    5. Antifa is also terrible. I'm not supporting the opinions of the people they've attacked, but what they do is wrong. You should never be assaulting people for having beliefs you don't like. I'm not going to list every hateful group that exists, just the ones that are popular to support on here.

    6. I don't know if this is an unpopular opinion, but so many people have a very hard time treating the other side as individuals. For instance, many people in the media blamed all conservatives for the Capitol riot. Many people also said that the BLM riots represented all of BLM. Many people who are part of political parties in America seem to have a real problem with treating people on the other side as individuals, instead of a mindless part of an evil cult.

    Just to be clear, I'm expressing opinions. I mean no harm to anyone. If you want to talk with me to change my mind, I have no problem with that.

    There is no reason to panic about climate change. The climate has been changing, rapidly and drastically, the entirety of earth's history. Don't believe me? Go look at the environment(s) the dinosaurs lived in. There were no polar ice caps longer than we have had polar ice caps. The oceans are we know them are again, a recent addition (in age of earth terms).
