40 Bizarre Beliefs People Will Defend Until The End Of Days, As Revealed By Folks Online
Have you ever found yourself arguing with someone you perhaps even don’t know that well about a topic that some people might find not that interesting or important and you felt right about it to a point where you would be ready to do whatever it takes to prove your point? Well, it’s probably safe to say that you’re not the only one who has found themselves in such a situation. For this reason, Reddit user @u/Youhavemystapler11 was curious enough to ask others online “What’s a hill you’re willing to die on every time?”. The question that received 32k upvotes encouraged others online to share matters that they strongly believe in and would not let anyone change their minds.
A lot of these answers included topics on certain people’s behaviors, social constructs, and everyday encounters that might sometimes seem to be annoying, such as people who won’t use a turn signal when they’re driving. If you want to read some more interesting answers, you can find them here and here.
What is one thing that you hardly believe in that perhaps wasn’t mentioned in the list? Don’t forget to share your thoughts in the comments down below!

If you're against free school lunches for kids who need it, you're an a*****e, period, full stop.
Edit: can yall stop trying to debate with me, I'm not changing my mind. If you don't mind children going hungry at a place they're legally required to be, you're a f*****g a*****e. For like 3 or 4 different reasons. I'm not responding to your comments.
Health insurance should cover the whole body. The fact that vision and dental are separate things is a pure cash grab.
It's not "Babysitting" when a dad is watching their own children; It is parenting.
Freedom of speech does not mean complete freedom from consequences.
You are free to voice absolutely any opinion you may have. Other people are free to challenge it, judge you, or even disown you for those words.
Equal pockets for women.
Seperation of church and state! Keep religion out of politics and decisions that effect everyone
There is a reason the Founding Fathers explicitly kept church and state separated. They knew the history of bloody wars that were fought on religious grounds, so did not want their new country to have a “state religion”, but to make religion a personal choice—-and that choice a Constitutional right. They knew religious bias has NO place in government, as that leads to persecution, so they purposely did not set up the US to be a place that makes such government sanctioned persecution a part of life here.
Children are legally required to be in school, and often have to stay in the building during lunch. We should feed them healthy, nutritious food for free. Every single child.
And be made to go to school while sick, while parents are threatened jail time and removal of their kids if the parents keep them home a day or few longer until they're better.
No one should need to go into debt for their health
Or their education. Or be hugely overcharged for rent on a small apartment, or the mortgage for a starter home.
Children beauty pageants are creepy as f**k and parents who subject their children to such scrutiny and judgement are crazy, and don’t deserve children.
People who get extremely disappointed when they discover the gender of their unborn child aren't emotionally mature enough to raise a child.
And people who comment on (mostly) men's "inability" to produce a male offspring (saying things like "oh, too weak to make a boy, eh", surprisingly and disgustingly common thing in Russia) should be surgically prevented from procreating.
Wanting to be childless or not even marry doesn't mean something is wrong with you.
Disagreeing is not a personal attack.
*gasp* you disagree with my opinion! I feel attacked and helpless now /s
keep the goddamn sponge OUT OF THE SINK
You can pry my Oxford comma from my cold, dead, and angry hands!
Term limits for every branch of government in the U.S.
Retirement age sounds reasonable. Government needs a huge infusion of new blood, new ideas, new viewpoints. Politicians are making decisions now that will affect generations to come, and I would like at least some representatives from those generations to have a voice. Also, there should be a limit to how many consecutive elections you can be on the ballot for. It’s perfectly fine for politics to be your career—-for a while—-but not one you only leave by dying of extreme old age.
Public libraries are undervalued by many.
My pet peeve. Small town libraries can absolutely become the life blood of an area when they provide computers and printers and classes especially for stuff like life skills like understanding taxes and mortgage, as well as literacy for children. I used to be on the board for our village library and I've seen children who've never held a book in their hand become enchanted at books. Video and movies are nice and all, but books open entire universes in your mind.
The kind of people who want power are the worst kind of people to have power. Power should be a responsibility, not a reward
If your ego is so large that you think you can run the country, you should definitely not be the one to run the country.
People who love you don’t hit you. Also, you don’t hit people/animals you love.
Start that in childhood please. No honey, he did not hit you because he secretly likes you. He hit you because he’s an abusive a*****e child who is probably being raised by an abusive a*****e adult—-who should f*****g well know better.
Repeal Citizen United.
Nothing to discuss. Politicians should have to list where every freaking dollar comes from.
Using your children as content for social media is child exploitation.
Why not just put a sign on your front door that says "Welcome, Pedos. Children live here."
We shouldn't have to work two minimum wage jobs to afford enough food to survive healthily
The Manitoba government thinks minimum wage is only for "young adults just starting out in the workforce. It's not supposed to be a career goal. We're not raising the minimum wage to match inflation". These people are so out of touch about what's out there for jobs and how much is needed to live. $10 for a bag of oranges, now, at the supposed cheap grocery stores. You would have to work about 45 min to afford a bag of oranges.
The right to die should be universal.
I’m very sorry but I’m afraid I don’t understand this statement? Can anyone please explain?
Unpaid internship are not good for students, a poor student can't afford the costs that go along with the internship.
I'm not that familiar with internships. When I was I school to become a train driver a major part of the education was practical. You'd shadow a train driver and then drive trains yourself, always with a train driver at your side. No pay for you as a student, but the company does have to pay more to have you there. Teachers fee for the train driver, overnight costs, uniform etc. Is that an internship?
Die Hard is a Christmas movie. The plot does not exist if it happens at any other time. John McClain is there to visit his family for Christmas. The bad guys are at Nakatomi Plaza because there's less security during the holidays. The people who are taken hostage are there for a Christmas party. Christmas is an integral part of the movie, therefore it is a Christmas movie.
A bigger debate is if The Nightmare Before Christmas is a Christmas movie or Halloween movie.
The McDonald’s Coffee lady lawsuit WAS NOT FOR ATTENTION OR FRIVOLOUS! The Coffee shouldn’t have been that hot.
Edit: according to the American Burn Association, “water at 155°F (68°C) can cause a 3rd degree burn in 1 second.”
……. **Her coffee was ~190°F (~88°C),** +35°F above a third degree burn in 1 second. Meaning she literally had .15 seconds to react before her skin melted.
No one needs to care if others like/hate the same things.
Put pineapple on your pizza.
Like sports team X.
Stick a candle wherever it fits.
If no one gets hurt, no one should care.
Getting compliments as a Dad for normal parenting behavior.
Yes, I can feed, bath and put to bed a 9,7, and 2 year old. No I didn't need to call my wife for direction. No, the house didn't burn down.
The praise you are heaping upon me doesn't make me feel good. It just makes me feel bad for you, your kids and your husband.
The purpose of praise is not always to make someone feel good. When I praised my students, it was to encourage them to continue their efforts and to identify models to other students. You may not need to hear the praise, but there may be fathers in the room who need to hear you getting it.
That 75% of the USA needs to retake an American Government class. The fact that most people don’t even know we have 3 branches of government baffles me.
We can start off by making ALL elected officials pass the immigration test.
PUBLIC BATHROOM/STALL DOORS SHOULD GO FLOOR TO CEILING!!!
People getting on subways or elevators before letting people off. Makes no sense. I say my piece every time I see it.
Zipper merge lane. It's every other car no matter what.
I agree, but try getting all the other jack-wallabies out there to follow the plan.
Boneless wings are just nuggets... and that's fine, but don't charge me wing prices for nuggets spun in sauce.
Radio stations should play more than 250 songs.
And DJs should NOT talk over or cut off the beginning and/or end of a song! Additionally, does the station really have to stop playing music for hours on end, just to play some a*****e’s talk radio show? I want to jam to tunes during my commute, not listen to some out of touch a*****e jabbering for hours with other out of touch assholes. I doubt I’m alone in this. Talk radio should be limited to its own stations, not steal hours of music from other stations.
Tangled is better than Frozen.
I think they’re both nice. Can we just agree that movies are fun?
People are completely fine with immoral/morally gray actions as long as it’s someone they like doing it.
These are not bizarre (except one or two near the bottom). These are actually kind, common sense, human rights centred beliefs that many countries which are not the US adhere to. What a strange title for the list.
I believe it's on the 18th of July 2024....unless the groundhog sees it's shadow, in which case it'll probably be pushed until 28 November 2057.
Load More Replies...Didn't see this one but - Civil Asset Forfeiture as it's practiced now is nothing but legalized theft and should have been declared unconstitutional a long time ago. ...Also the SCOTUS-invented idea of "Qualified Immunity" is Bulls*it.
Not me scrolling through BP when I should be working on schoolwork... 😉
Why the down vote? Some of these lists are ridiculous.
Load More Replies...Maybe because you invent nonsensical words such as "sill list" and "unconseey".
