It's too late to do anything about climate change.

Why so defeatist? Clearly, we cannot press Ctrl-Z on man-made climate change, but that's irrelevant to the goal of being better to the environment.

Cities are already sinking. There won't be any polar icecaps by mid 2020s. Cities like New York and Miami will be underwater by mid-century. oh and then there's the crippling food and water shortages that will come with it.

It's pointless to try and do anything about it. We need to focus on getting off this planet before we all die.

This is hardly massively controversial but whatever.

Every so often I go in the 2020 predidential election board. See people earnestly talking about how much money so-and-so has raised; what campaign events they are doing in their ultimately futile, self serving tilting at windmills.

And it's such an utterly grotestque spectacle of a para-democracy. So, so clearly so. And yet people on here just lap it up, as if it's the way things are supposed to be.

Then again, every "active" boy in college (or upperclassman in HS) or single guy out in the world has some story to tell that can be construed by a reasonable amount of people as being "prostitution". Especially on the apps.

Really? That was never my experience, and my social circles have been sexually active since high school. None of the recent scholarship on prostitution in the US suggests that having paid for sex is the norm, even among sexually active men.

What do you call buying sh**t for girls to impress them on dates? Though sometimes it’s something like an energy drink or gas.

-Gay marriage should be federally repealed.

-Women who make false rape accusations should face the same amount of jail time that her victim would have had.

-All sexual crimes on minors should be dealt with the death penalty.

-The US should cut all ties with both Israel and Saudi Arabia.

That's not outside of the Overton window. That's literally what everyone thinks but won't tell pollsters

Imagine being this delusional. anti-LGBT policies are becoming a thing of the past, and the majority of people who still disagree with same-sex marriage are old and dying off.

I mean it is within the Overton window. Atleast 30-40% of people still support it.

1) I support the death penalty for eugenics supporters and identity thieves

2) we should cut all aid to every country on the face of the earth (including Israel and Saudi Arabia)

3) we should considering ending student loans

4) I don't support the UN

5) I'm against abortion in almost every case

6) the second amendment is more important than the first amendment

7) Christopher Clumbas was a hero who founded the new world

Cool Andrew Jackson was probably one of our best presidents

9) America is superior to all other countries

I didn't say it wasn't, but to say that literally no one supports it is perhaps the most hilarious thing I've seen on this site.

Is it really more hilarious than this?


5) Yes down syndrome is an valid reason for an abortion.

6) It is a disabled persons choice if they do believe they are a burden to society and their family after a certain age they should be able to choose to be euthanized..

They might not admit to it, but what people who say they support capital punishment for rape really want is for real life replicas of what happened to Tom Robinson in the book "To Kill a Mockingbird" to occur.

-Billionaires should be taxed out of existence (as already mentioned here)

-The US should abolish all of its armed forces and encourage others to do so

-Abortion should be called what it is: genocide

-Democracy is flawed because most people are stupid and stupidity has been the biggest killer of productive, peaceful societies across history so i'm in favor of sham elections to keep people 'involved' while all real decisions are made by an enlightened despot or some sort of benevolent oligarchy

Unpopular opinion: Catastrophic climate change is already locked in. Industrial civilization will not make it to the 22nd century and the human species is in danger of extinction.

Related: Politics over the next thirty years will narrow down to a choice: communism or genocide. Climate change-induced crop failures and extreme weather will push masses of refugees northwards. Already, the hard right is preparing us for why gunning them down at the border will be morally acceptable.

Of all the bad opinions posted here, this is definitively the worst and most ill-informed.

US's drinking laws should match Europe's, aka lower it to 18, maybe even 16 in some states

Abortion should be treated as murder and punishable by death, no exceptions

Must be Catholic. The church still does a lot of good things and a lot of bad things. These two items are unfortunate but I like to think of them as features  but not bugs though I think they will destroy the lives of most people.

Santander is right. Your most "radical" ideas read like someone who either never votes or only decides who to vote for at the last minute and usually for the most "false" reasons such as Obama being "pro-life" or Trump being "pro-union" or something.

I don't think that by 2050 that we will have to make a choice between communism and genocide, but I think a lot of people want that to be the case.

This would probably be mine too. As long as it's permissible among all genders and gender identities. I mean really, why is this such a big deal? Marriage in general is a sham, why does monogamy have to be put on a pedestal?

- It should be legal to drink beer in public.

- Cigarette ashtrays are a good thing because they prevent litter.

- The police should leave “runaways” alone.

- There should be shelters for “runaways”.

- 16-year-olds should be able to sign contracts.

- Suburban sprawl is a form of house arrest for people who can’t drive.

- The government should stop giving out student loans.
