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.

Look, all you pro-lifers: Imagine your best friend got raped. What are you going to tell her? “Keep the baby?” And when these poor parent(s) (poor financially speaking) have to keep the baby and sometimes end up abandoning it, you shame them. What choice do they have?

See I think on a case by case basis, such as complications with the pregnancy or rape, we can absolutely talk about abortion as a possibility. But the fact is that only 1% of abortions fit in that category. Sadly, most abortions happen because, for whatever reason, they choose to do it. I get not being ready for a baby. Our 2nd born was not planned, I wasn't working, and we already had a 1 year old. It was terrifying, but we work through it and now I couldn't be happier have him in our family.

Part of the reason I think this is so hard to talk about is we still don't have a line we can all agree on, on where consciousness begins. I am firmly in the camp of men should not make laws or vote about this though, at all. I know, I know, it is your potential baby too, but until we can remove a faetus and pop it into your body to carry around and suck the nutrients from your teeth and bones, um.. yeah. The power to create a baby belongs to women, and women alone should vote on how to rule themselves.

Absolutely! It's a personal choice. If you don't agree it's totally fine, but nobody is forcing people to have an abortion.

Ok, the thing with abortions is that even if they're illegal women are still gonna get them. We would stab ourselves or brutally do stuff to kill the baby before it was legalized. So the question isn't should women get abortions because we will. The question is would you rather women get abortions in a clean, sterile room by a professional, or in a dirty warehouse by anyone?

The right to have a child is exactly that, a right. It should be your right to decide to not have a child. I don't know why they stumble at this wording, it's simple logic.

My issue with abortion always revolves around the philosophical question: "At what point is a person a person?" its a deceptively simple answer. A pro-lifer says, "At conception." and so the entire life cycle from fetus to finale the entity is a person and is entitled to the rights and protections under the law. A pro-abortion usually says either when a person is born or when they can live separately from the mother. This is a quagmire, as the youngest fetus to survive outside the womb was 21 weeks (Lyla Stensrud) and that number is likely to get lower as neonatal tech gets better at sustaining life. At present, a fetus can be terminated when it in fact can survive outside the womb in many states. If the ability to survive separate from the mother is the base requirement for personhood, and the conferment of rights and entitlements to the protection from harm, then in many states it is legal to murder a baby.

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.

If he does that much effort to be a good husband, then why not a great president?

Because of our larger brains and the changes to hip structure caused by being bipeds, human babies have to be born earlier, otherwise it would not be possible for the mother to be able to give birth to them. So technically all humans are born kind of premature. That's why human babies are so dependent and take so long to mature, and probably also why human babies look quite weird, whereas animal babies are just like smaller, less hairy versions.

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).
The concept of a baseline climate that humans are altering is a lie. There is no baseline. There never was a baseline.
