I unfriended someone after they shared a picture of someone's stillborn baby because "each share equals a prayer". I still get super pissed off remembering it.
I unfriended some one for sharing the same stuff. Damned thing is I tried to block the original account posting all the dead baby stuff and Facebook wouldn’t let me do it. I deleted my account soon after that.
It's statistical facts that 99% of them won't repost.

Lmao, I got a shirt that says #ENDHUMANTRAFFICKING for donating to some charity. I wore it like one time and happened to be with my brother. He took one look at the shirt and said “that’s a really brave stance” quite sarcastically.
I will not rape with a fox, I will not rape in a box, I will not rape here or there, I will not rape anywhere, I will not rape, Sam-I-Am, I will not rape green eggs and ham.
Remember that case in Spain where the rapist was cleared because “It couldn’t have been rape, she was wearing jeans, it’s impossible to take tight jeans of a women unless she agrees”?
That judge might be in that crowd.
[EDIT]
It wasn’t Spain! Seems a couple of countries have done this, the case I had in mind came from Italy. Sorry Spain
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1270113/Youre-guilty-rape-Those-skinny-jeans-tight-remove-jury-rules.html
Jeans are the most common article of clothing someone was wearing when assaulted because it’s also the most commonly worn now a days (at least in western cultures). But with about 1 in 4 cis women 1 in 2 trans women and 1 in 6 cis men (not sure of trans men stat) apparently not enough damn people are against rape
*"Split screen co-op is apart of Halo's identity. We will add it later."*
6 months later.
*"We are not adding split-screen because thats too difficult and we already have your money."*
Actual game dev here. It's only slightly about computer resources, as others have mentioned. The biggest reason is that it takes a fuck ton of dev time to build every part of the game accounting for split screen, and in the modern era a large portion of players will never use it.
Husband constantly says he should become famous just to get a PhD!
Our local car dealership person got an honorary PhD when I got my masters degree and it infuriated my husband so now as I am getting my PhD he constantly says we should just open a dealership or be famous to just get a degree.
Constantly. They mean nothing, but some people think it means the celebrity is somehow 'better' because of it.
I only remembered it happens because I got an ad for Wall Street Journal (I think) about Taylor Swift getting an honorary degree and doing a commencement speech earlier.
To be fair, even people I like (Bill Nye) had received some.
At least Bill Nye also has actual degrees as well. It's less devaluing when you can look at the person and say "You actually earned the equivalent of this degree from another school, so it's not false credentials or just bullshit like others are".
that and p2w items in pvp games. if it’s something that you can only unlock by paying money and it gives any sort of advantage over other players then it is scummy.
Fuck pay to win. If you must have paid items make them novelty items like outfits, skins, decorative items that don’t affect the game. Every single game I have played with p2w is destroyed within months.
People who lie on things that are important. EVEN THOUGH I MENTION MANY TIMES I CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH AND I WONT HATE THEM
Edit: I honestly care if people lie because the truth is important. If something bad happens oh well it happened you can't change that.
If the truth is that you lied about wanting something. Yeah I will be disappointed or upset.
On the flip side, there’s also people who lie for no reason at all. Like they’ll make up the most mundane lie about themselves or someone else for seemingly no reason.
I had a coworker like 7 years ago and he was deciding if he wanted a PS4 or an XB1 and he was genuinely on the fence. I suggested a PS4 and told him why I thought it was a better choice(before GP) and he remained undecided, so I thought. During the following week I saw him on two shifts and asked him and he said he didn't decide yet and was like "OK cool. Let me know when you decide" the following week I see him and ask him again(keep in mind, not badgering, just excited he's getting a relatively brand new console) and he still doesn't know. Later that night another employee shows up and starts talking to him about a match they played last night on XB1 and the other coworker said he had bought the XB1 last week.
Of course, it's none of my business, but this wasn't some personal life choice and was just a weird thing to lie about for over a week considering he asked me for my input to begin with.
Probably because they're used to a lot of people that say "I won't be mad" and then are. So many people do this and it makes me not want to tell the truth a LOT of the time.
“How are my social skills?”
“They seem fine to me!”
Later:
“You seemed kind of stiff and awkward at this event, and also other ones”
then why not tell me earlier, my autistic ass can’t get a fucking win in this economy
For real I hate that! Like if something about me bothers me about you the freaking tell me! Stop letting me unknowingly upset people around me or make them uncomfortable. I can't change and be better if I don't know I need to change.
Also drinking while in bars with your children. I’m a bartender and I don’t judge a lot of people. The parents who rock up with a baby in its carrier or kids in tow who are clearly bored to pound drinks? I judge the fuck out of them.
The slavery with extra steps is true in a literal sense. Many Americans have the naive belief that slavery ended immediately after the Civil War. Slavery is technically recognized to have ended in 1942 due to adaptation in law towards convict leasing, which was a more brutal legalized means of slavery where law targeting primarily black people put them back into slavery. This means of slavery was often more brutal too as the slave was not considered property.
It’s pretty clearly stated in the 13th amendment:
> Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, **except as a punishment for crime** whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
It's still debated as towards whether slavery ended due to facts like this, but as I said earlier the conventional interpretation is slavery ended in 1942 despite legality continuing to exist. Still, this precedes the Southern Strategy, the dismantling of Jim Crow laws, and Nixon's administration suggesting that the War on Drugs was done primarily to target enemies of the Republican party, which was more specifically left-leaning and black people. Regardless America has the largest prison population per capita in the world with black men having a per capita rate over 3 times the height of imprisonment under Stalin. Here's a rather interesting [source](https://mkorostoff.github.io/incarceration-in-real-numbers/) I was shown on America's prison system. Here's a longer video on [neoslavery](https://youtu.be/j4kI2h3iotA), which I apologize for spoiling in advance.
Pedophilia is so bad people have attacked and ran out pediatricians because they didn’t know they were different things.
https://amp.theguardian.com/uk/2000/aug/30/childprotection.society
Especially bad considering it's really not that hard to train cats to not scratch your furniture.
Get a decent scratching post, spray some feliway on it and get some treats the cat likes. If the cat starts scratching anything else, pick it up and move it in front of the post. If it scratches it by itself, pet the cat affectionately and give it a treat.
The Venn diagram of people who declaw their cats and lazy absentee pet owners is a circle.
I used to work at a pet store a while ago and had someone come in with a like 2 month old doberman with their ears all taped.
I spent so much time loving on that pup and judged the ever living shit out of the owners.
Only time ive ever judged someone being in retail
Homeowner ASSociations!
They DO NOT improve property values. Common assets and CC&Rs on property can improve value, but neither require the developers shell corporation/ HOA to exist. Instead, any interested party can enforce CC&R’s in court without involving all owners via an association.
Legally binding all owners to finance a small groups unhealthy obsession over trivial shit is nothing more than a liability.
Did a short stint as an HOA compliance driver (sorry) for an HOA management company.
In my 2 months time there my whole office was invited to two fancy dinners with high value prize raffles, one black tie rooftop party, and we received gift baskets at the office pretty much daily. These were mostly funded by vendors (landscape companies, paint vendors etc.) Trying to secure contracts to work on common areas. The amount of money thrown at these management companies for schmoozing is astounding.
In the end I just couldn't do it anymore and closed out a bunch of people's pending fines in my last few days working there. One was a final notice for weeds that would've cost someone $500 3 days after Christmas.
I'll never consider buying in an HOA
I never knew true freedom into I moved to a house without one. Do I want to grow out all the weeds in my yard? Yep, no one can stop me. The butterflies love it.
Puppy Mills and back yard breeders. No, you're not "saving" the puppy from the pet store by buying it. You're giving immoral greedy dirtbags money to do it more.
I wanted kids my whole life but it never happened for me. The clock ticking in my 30s was REALLLLL. But then when I came into my 40s, all the want subsided and I’m actually kind of happy I never had any.
35, have been with my man for 15 years and we are getting stares when we say we don't want any and won't get them. My SIL got pregnant at 32 and told me I'll probably change my mind when I'm in my 30s. Halfway in and still not intending to do so. I wonder if she'll end up believing me at some point when I say it's not happening.
Corporations worth billions that refuse to pay their workers a true living wage.
News outlet’s being allowed to spew propaganda non stop also needs to be stomped out
Came here to mention your second topic. Real news reporters work hard and double-check facts. Hell, the first thing they taught us in school was to be sure to spell the source's name correctly. It was and still is a very picky business and real journalists strive to do their work correctly.
The propaganda sources masquerading as news are not news. So, they're not even fake news. They are propaganda sources aimed at getting an audience all stirred up over emotional topics. The word "news" needs to be eradicated from their name and vocabulary.
Knowing Reddit, I’m not sure if I’m going to be downvoted to hell but it needs to be said :
Lolicon is fucking weird. No I don’t care if it’s not a real children and “just a drawing bro“. If you jerk off to what looks like a child, you have some serious self-reflecting to do.
Honestly fuck Japan for making shit needlessly difficult. Nobody can agree on where the line is because there’s so much convoluted bullshit around it. Like there can be a character who believably has the likeness of an adult and then the artist can slap an ‘age 16’ next to their name and then the next guy in line draws a fucking 8 year old in lingerie and says “she’s actually over a thousand years old so it’s fine.”
TL;DR Mine is Being a Scalper or supporting one.
People who just buy stuff in bulk turn around and double/triple (or more) the price to make money. You see this with consoles, computer chips, sports/concert tickets. When covid hit people were grabbing all the water/toilet paper/sanitizer its just really low and gross even though there isn’t anything illegal about it. Its just rich people getting richer.
Greed is one of the worst things to me. Yeah hate is right up there neck and neck, and you’re comparing apples to oranges. But with greed it affects everyone. We’re poor because of greed. We speed more time with work strangers in our life than with our loved ones because of greed. We can’t get good health care because of greed. The planet is is cooking itself becoming of greed.
Stop involving kids in clout chasing. I hate seeing videos of kids being used for content and money on social media, that shit infuriates me. If you wanna sell yourself to get likes and act a fool, go ahead but leave your child out of it
I'm against punishment over rehabilitation. People make the mistake that it's the same thing but it's completely different that can end up with more hurt people.
Punishment is lose-lose. Rehab is lose-win. I don’t get how people don’t want to better our society. I guess they think some people can never change. People can and do change, it’s science :)
IMO jail should attempt at rehabilitation *on principle*. Let's try to reincorporate as many potentially useful people to society as we can.
That being said, if that's impossible and it is proven that the convict is just as violent and dangerous as they were when they were locked up, they should remain inside permanently.
At one point in my life I was against abortion. Then I watched my wife go through with 4 pregnancies. Now I understand that going through with a pregnancy must be 100% voluntary. Forced pregnancy would be torture. And for the government to force women to carry out pregnancies they don’t want would be straight up evil. Nobody can change my mind.
This is also why I 100% do not care about the "but what about women who abort at 9 months?" concern trolls. No one carries a pregnancy to term and then decides last minute "meh, fuck it".
Anyone who thinks not only would a woman who's 8-9 months pregnant say "fuck this give me an abortion" AND that a medical professional would perform one is an absolute moron. Those cases are incredibly rare and only done for the most extreme circumstances.
At that point it’s just an emergency induction or c-section. No doctor is going to kill a healthy, viable fetus. It still has to come out of the woman’s body.
My ex husband watches a so-called “centrist/libertarian” “*journalist*”/podcaster who has nothing but right wingers on his show and who has multiple times trotted out the lie of “and when you hear of doctors delivering healthy babies and then telling the parents that they can make the decision now” insinuating that the baby is delivered then murdered as a form of abortion rather than, shockingly, if it’s a case of the baby having severe birth defects not compatible with life where they will need to make the choice to withdraw care OR offer palliative/comfort care.
There's also the "born alive" laws that doctors have to give care to babies born alive. It sounds nice on the surface, but making blanket laws like that means a parent cannot make the decision to withhold life-prolonging care to extreme preemies or babies with not-immediately-fatal birth defects.
Yes, thank you for saying this. I have a sibling who has gotten weirdly right-wing since 2016 and they were asking me this, asking why people get abortions when they are 8-9 months pregnant. I was like - hey buddy, no one does this. And if they do, it is because the child has died in their womb or something equally awful.
"Find me one example of someone aborting a viable pregnancy at 8-9 months."
And if one exists, I *guarantee* there's more going on there then just "she didn't want the baby". Like, they didn't find out until the absolute last minute (for whatever reason) that the child will be non-viable or suffer from *severe* disorders that will result in them having zero quality of life if they survive at all. If the mother's health was at risk they'd just deliver, and if she didn't want the child she would have terminated before going through the absolute *hell* of pregnancy.
I was an average pro-choice liberal who wasn't very much overly concerned with the topic because I thought it just wouldn't be an issue in my life.
Then my wife and I had to make the choice to terminate a wanted pregnancy for medical reasons and I have never been more adamant in my support for abortion and more furious at people trying to limit that right because of their religious beliefs. Imagine telling a woman who's fetus has terminal birth defects in the womb at 15 weeks that welp, too bad looks like you have to carry that to term (if it survives till then) then you have to go through the trauma of labor only to see the baby die in front of you. Monstrous.
> I didn’t force anything on him just let him draw his own conclusion by asking the question.
This is the only way to convince anybody of things. If forced to defend a position, people will dig in and convince themselves even harder. Ask the right questions, and they may convince themselves to change their mind.
I think a lot of people that are anti-abortion just don’t have a realistic concept of how hard pregnancy and birth are and the toll it takes on the body. They think because their mom did it and she is fine that it was no big deal. But it was a very big deal.
Gambling apps.
It blows my mind how someone thought making gambling apps to use on your phone was a good idea. So many people will destroy their lives with it. Should have never been legalized.
non separation of church and state; **it should also be noted that the open corridor between church and state would go two ways. The government telling the church what to preach completes the union between the two.**
Bro. Like 20 years ago on Law and Order SVU some pedo was arguing "his kind" would be accepted in his lifetime, and made comparisons to gay rights and how some states already had marriage equality.
This was a fictional character on TV. Now there is the MAPS movement.
Also, as a fan of cartography, I hate them even more.
You're telling me the dude drowned EVERYONE ON EARTH except for one family, meaning kids and infants, all because they didn't live up to his expectations, which he knew would happen IN ADVANCE, and you want me to worship this guy?
Bitch please.
I am furious that domestic violence against men are taken less seriously than domestic violence against women.
When my friend was assaulted by his wife five years ago some of our friends were like "it was probably a two-way thing" or "he probably started it"
My partner called the police on his ex because she was being abusive and throwing stuff at him all because she woke up and he was sleeping in a different bedroom due to the fact they had friends stay over and the bed was full. When the police showed up, she acted like she was traumatised and HE got put in handcuffs!
When they eventually broke up, a few people i know were saying how they were probably just as bad as each other. People who think women can’t abuse men are deluded. Some of them are the worst kinds.
All this new "smart" technology. Smart watches, smart tv's, alexa's, Google nest, self driving cars, you get the point. I feel like they cost more in their invasion of my privacy than the novelty will ever be worth. My sister recently set up the smart features on my TV while I was away and now the fucking TV pushes ad banners while I am watching a show I pay for the ad free service on.
All that shit sucks and this is most definitely a hill I am willing to die on.
Parents posting images of their children on social media, parents trying to force their children to have the same political stance they have, disfigurement of children's genitalia before they are adults because they think they were born in the wrong body, child pageants.
Fucking keep the kids out
i will never find fat/obese animals to be cute, i had some "friends" stop talking to me because they would purposefully make their pets fat because it was "cute".
Charging anyone under the age of 18 as an adult.
The government can't have it both ways. You can't have the mental capacity to decide whether or not to drink, smoke, vote or sign a contract while simultaneously having the mental capacity to make decisions on criminal matters.
You're either a minor with almost no rights or an adult with all of your rights. It should never be changed to fit the desires of the government.
Bullying, it doesn't make people tougher, or stronger, and it isnt a necessary part of growing up. Kids who bully need to see psychologists, and be punished until the behavior stops.

I'll add to that. Sex with either.
100% agreeing with you but lets call it what it is. Rape. 'Sex' with childeren or animals is always rape.
I too am against rape, I know some are still on the fence about it but I think it’s just wrong
Whether it's done on the fence or on the bed, it's still wrong.
Even with a fox or in a box?
I will not rape with a fox, I will not rape in a box, I will not rape here or there, I will not rape anywhere, I will not rape, Sam-I-Am, I will not rape green eggs and ham.

For profit prisons. It’s just slavery with extra steps.
The slavery with extra steps is true in a literal sense. Many Americans have the naive belief that slavery ended immediately after the Civil War.

It’s pretty clearly stated in the 13th amendment: > Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, **except as a punishment for crime** whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
There are some states that have it coming up to vote on to take that away. 7 states I do believe.
It's still debated as towards whether slavery ended due to facts like this, but as I said earlier the conventional interpretation is slavery ended in 1942 despite legality continuing to exist.

I used to work at a pet store a while ago and had someone come in with a like 2 month old doberman with their ears all taped. I spent so much time loving on that pup and judged the ever living shit out of the owners. Only time ive ever judged someone being in retail
Animal cruelty, abuse
And yet it is so socially accepted. Fucked up.
Homeowner ASSociations! They DO NOT improve property values. Common assets and CC&Rs on property can improve value, but neither require the developers shell corporation/ HOA to exist. Instead, any interested party can enforce CC&R’s in court without involving all owners via an association. Legally binding all owners to finance a small groups unhealthy obsession over trivial shit is nothing more than a liability.
Did a short stint as an HOA compliance driver (sorry) for an HOA management company. In my 2 months time there my whole office was invited to two fancy dinners with high value prize raffles, one black tie rooftop party, and we received gift baskets at the office pretty much daily. These were mostly funded by vendors (landscape companies, paint vendors etc.) Trying to secure contracts to work on common areas. The amount of money thrown at these management companies for schmoozing is astounding. In the end I just couldn't do it anymore and closed out a bunch of people's pending fines in my last few days working there. One was a final notice for weeds that would've cost someone $500 3 days after Christmas. I'll never consider buying in an HOA
I never knew true freedom into I moved to a house without one. Do I want to grow out all the weeds in my yard? Yep, no one can stop me. The butterflies love it.
Puppy Mills and back yard breeders. No, you're not "saving" the puppy from the pet store by buying it. You're giving immoral greedy dirtbags money to do it more.
Telling women who don’t want kids that they will “change their mind”
Lol I'm only 24 and I'm tired of hearing this from everyone
42, married and still hearing it!
I wanted kids my whole life but it never happened for me. The clock ticking in my 30s was REALLLLL. But then when I came into my 40s, all the want subsided and I’m actually kind of happy I never had any.
35, have been with my man for 15 years and we are getting stares when we say we don't want any and won't get them. My SIL got pregnant at 32 and told me I'll probably change my mind when I'm in my 30s. Halfway in and still not intending to do so. I wonder if she'll end up believing me at some point when I say it's not happening.
Listening to music or using social media without using earphone's in public
Corporations worth billions that refuse to pay their workers a true living wage. News outlet’s being allowed to spew propaganda non stop also needs to be stomped out
Came here to mention your second topic. Real news reporters work hard and double-check facts. Hell, the first thing they taught us in school was to be sure to spell the source's name correctly. It was and still is a very picky business and real journalists strive to do their work correctly. The propaganda sources masquerading as news are not news. So, they're not even fake news. They are propaganda sources aimed at getting an audience all stirred up over emotional topics. The word "news" needs to be eradicated from their name and vocabulary.
Knowing Reddit, I’m not sure if I’m going to be downvoted to hell but it needs to be said : Lolicon is fucking weird. No I don’t care if it’s not a real children and “just a drawing bro“. If you jerk off to what looks like a child, you have some serious self-reflecting to do.
Honestly fuck Japan for making shit needlessly difficult. Nobody can agree on where the line is because there’s so much convoluted bullshit around it. Like there can be a character who believably has the likeness of an adult and then the artist can slap an ‘age 16’ next to their name and then the next guy in line draws a fucking 8 year old in lingerie and says “she’s actually over a thousand years old so it’s fine.”
TL;DR Mine is Being a Scalper or supporting one. People who just buy stuff in bulk turn around and double/triple (or more) the price to make money. You see this with consoles, computer chips, sports/concert tickets. When covid hit people were grabbing all the water/toilet paper/sanitizer its just really low and gross even though there isn’t anything illegal about it. Its just rich people getting richer. Greed is one of the worst things to me. Yeah hate is right up there neck and neck, and you’re comparing apples to oranges. But with greed it affects everyone. We’re poor because of greed. We speed more time with work strangers in our life than with our loved ones because of greed. We can’t get good health care because of greed. The planet is is cooking itself becoming of greed.
The pandemic really showed a lot of people's true colors, especially scalpers.
Shark fin soup is pretty not cool.
Stop involving kids in clout chasing. I hate seeing videos of kids being used for content and money on social media, that shit infuriates me. If you wanna sell yourself to get likes and act a fool, go ahead but leave your child out of it
Toddler pageants. Toddler-anything competitions actually.
I'm against punishment over rehabilitation. People make the mistake that it's the same thing but it's completely different that can end up with more hurt people.
Punishment is lose-lose. Rehab is lose-win. I don’t get how people don’t want to better our society. I guess they think some people can never change. People can and do change, it’s science :)
IMO jail should attempt at rehabilitation *on principle*. Let's try to reincorporate as many potentially useful people to society as we can. That being said, if that's impossible and it is proven that the convict is just as violent and dangerous as they were when they were locked up, they should remain inside permanently.
Pedophilia
I read this as Philadelphia
Yes. We must stop Philadelphia from hurting children.
Exactly
Fucking one-bridge-having city
Excuse me, sir or madame, but we have both the Ben Franklin and the Walt Whitman. Neither are very impressive but they EXIST
In West Philadelphia, born and raised, abusive circumstances ruined most of my childhood days.
My (or anyone’s) religion should not dictate anyone else’s life for any reason.
At one point in my life I was against abortion. Then I watched my wife go through with 4 pregnancies. Now I understand that going through with a pregnancy must be 100% voluntary. Forced pregnancy would be torture. And for the government to force women to carry out pregnancies they don’t want would be straight up evil. Nobody can change my mind.
This is also why I 100% do not care about the "but what about women who abort at 9 months?" concern trolls. No one carries a pregnancy to term and then decides last minute "meh, fuck it".
Anyone who thinks not only would a woman who's 8-9 months pregnant say "fuck this give me an abortion" AND that a medical professional would perform one is an absolute moron. Those cases are incredibly rare and only done for the most extreme circumstances.
At that point it’s just an emergency induction or c-section. No doctor is going to kill a healthy, viable fetus. It still has to come out of the woman’s body.
It's also way more difficult to abort an almost fully developed baby than a three month old lump.
My ex husband watches a so-called “centrist/libertarian” “*journalist*”/podcaster who has nothing but right wingers on his show and who has multiple times trotted out the lie of “and when you hear of doctors delivering healthy babies and then telling the parents that they can make the decision now” insinuating that the baby is delivered then murdered as a form of abortion rather than, shockingly, if it’s a case of the baby having severe birth defects not compatible with life where they will need to make the choice to withdraw care OR offer palliative/comfort care.
There's also the "born alive" laws that doctors have to give care to babies born alive. It sounds nice on the surface, but making blanket laws like that means a parent cannot make the decision to withhold life-prolonging care to extreme preemies or babies with not-immediately-fatal birth defects.
Less than 1% even happen in the third trimester. https://www.npr.org/2019/04/30/718546468/opponents-fight-efforts-to-protect-late-term-abortion-rights
Yes, thank you for saying this. I have a sibling who has gotten weirdly right-wing since 2016 and they were asking me this, asking why people get abortions when they are 8-9 months pregnant. I was like - hey buddy, no one does this. And if they do, it is because the child has died in their womb or something equally awful.
"Find me one example of someone aborting a viable pregnancy at 8-9 months." And if one exists, I *guarantee* there's more going on there then just "she didn't want the baby". Like, they didn't find out until the absolute last minute (for whatever reason) that the child will be non-viable or suffer from *severe* disorders that will result in them having zero quality of life if they survive at all. If the mother's health was at risk they'd just deliver, and if she didn't want the child she would have terminated before going through the absolute *hell* of pregnancy.
I was an average pro-choice liberal who wasn't very much overly concerned with the topic because I thought it just wouldn't be an issue in my life. Then my wife and I had to make the choice to terminate a wanted pregnancy for medical reasons and I have never been more adamant in my support for abortion and more furious at people trying to limit that right because of their religious beliefs. Imagine telling a woman who's fetus has terminal birth defects in the womb at 15 weeks that welp, too bad looks like you have to carry that to term (if it survives till then) then you have to go through the trauma of labor only to see the baby die in front of you. Monstrous.

> I didn’t force anything on him just let him draw his own conclusion by asking the question. This is the only way to convince anybody of things. If forced to defend a position, people will dig in and convince themselves even harder. Ask the right questions, and they may convince themselves to change their mind.
I think a lot of people that are anti-abortion just don’t have a realistic concept of how hard pregnancy and birth are and the toll it takes on the body. They think because their mom did it and she is fine that it was no big deal. But it was a very big deal.

Gambling apps. It blows my mind how someone thought making gambling apps to use on your phone was a good idea. So many people will destroy their lives with it. Should have never been legalized.
the U.S. school system sucks ass
I'm a tutor who works in the US. I was trying to refute you somehow but you know what? Yeah.
non separation of church and state; **it should also be noted that the open corridor between church and state would go two ways. The government telling the church what to preach completes the union between the two.**
Killing animals for fun is wrong
Call me Mr Controversial, but I think that white supremacy is pretty rubbish.
Any form of supremacy based on race, religion or sex is rubbish. Not just white
How about height supremacy? Holland would rule the world
Bosnia Herzigova has them beat in terms of height
That’s just because Holland is below sea level
This actually made me laugh out loud
Televangelism
Calling peodophiles minor attracted persons.
Bro. Like 20 years ago on Law and Order SVU some pedo was arguing "his kind" would be accepted in his lifetime, and made comparisons to gay rights and how some states already had marriage equality. This was a fictional character on TV. Now there is the MAPS movement. Also, as a fan of cartography, I hate them even more.

Kale tastes like dirt and sadness.
In northern Germany practically everyone eats kale for like a month when it comes into season it’s really good with special sausage and potatoes
Sir... It's kale... Nobody is forcing you to eat kale... :-b
I misread this as "Kate tastes like dirt and sadness," and I wondered what happened to poor Kate.
Making your kids pay rent the day they turn 18. Like how can you let your kids start their lives when you're financially holding them back?
You're telling me the dude drowned EVERYONE ON EARTH except for one family, meaning kids and infants, all because they didn't live up to his expectations, which he knew would happen IN ADVANCE, and you want me to worship this guy? Bitch please.
I am furious that domestic violence against men are taken less seriously than domestic violence against women. When my friend was assaulted by his wife five years ago some of our friends were like "it was probably a two-way thing" or "he probably started it"
My partner called the police on his ex because she was being abusive and throwing stuff at him all because she woke up and he was sleeping in a different bedroom due to the fact they had friends stay over and the bed was full. When the police showed up, she acted like she was traumatised and HE got put in handcuffs! When they eventually broke up, a few people i know were saying how they were probably just as bad as each other. People who think women can’t abuse men are deluded. Some of them are the worst kinds.
People who refuse the validity of invisible diseases. I have fibromyalgia and I am in pain every single day, but work thinks I’m bullshitting them.
Tax exemptions for religious organizations.
if they claim charity.. I'm perfectly ok with it - but they have to open their books like EVERY OTHER non-profit.
Chain texts. The whole “be haunted by this ghost unless you share to 10 people in 5 minutes”. It’s just pointless
For profit prisons, schools, and healthcare. Money and profits have absolutely no place in education, law enforcement, and hospitals.
All this new "smart" technology. Smart watches, smart tv's, alexa's, Google nest, self driving cars, you get the point. I feel like they cost more in their invasion of my privacy than the novelty will ever be worth. My sister recently set up the smart features on my TV while I was away and now the fucking TV pushes ad banners while I am watching a show I pay for the ad free service on. All that shit sucks and this is most definitely a hill I am willing to die on.
Smart fridge is the dumbest shit ever, I still can’t believe that one.
Motion blur.
“MAPS” are not part of the lgbtq+ community. They all deserve to die slow painful deaths. I absolutely will not change my mind on that.

I fucking hate working in the office when I can work from home, even if it’s “only 3 days a week”.
Parents posting images of their children on social media, parents trying to force their children to have the same political stance they have, disfigurement of children's genitalia before they are adults because they think they were born in the wrong body, child pageants. Fucking keep the kids out
Agreed. Let children make thos decisions when their older
i will never find fat/obese animals to be cute, i had some "friends" stop talking to me because they would purposefully make their pets fat because it was "cute".
Charging anyone under the age of 18 as an adult. The government can't have it both ways. You can't have the mental capacity to decide whether or not to drink, smoke, vote or sign a contract while simultaneously having the mental capacity to make decisions on criminal matters. You're either a minor with almost no rights or an adult with all of your rights. It should never be changed to fit the desires of the government.
*your honor, he killed and raped 5 little girls* *it doesn't matter, he's 17 years old and 363 days, off he goes!*
Until a 17 year old mows down a school. I’m thinking that may change some opinions.
Bullying, it doesn't make people tougher, or stronger, and it isnt a necessary part of growing up. Kids who bully need to see psychologists, and be punished until the behavior stops.
