Expressing your opinions is pretty much essential as our community progresses and changes because of the thoughts that are being verbalized. For instance, when someone is afraid of voicing their concerns, it only takes one person's bravery to encourage others to speak up and educate the world about the problem.
There are billions of people with contrasting and sometimes even controversial views; it could be something silly or something quite harsh that not everybody would be bold enough to communicate. And despite our society being somewhat open to hearing people's thoughts, it's important not to confuse freedom of speech with ignorance:
TikTok user with over 384K followers started a trend on the platform and encouraged others to reveal the things that most would probably get a lot of hate for if they were to say them out loud.

People are so furious at Amazon and Jeff Bezos for the wealth that they have when the Vatican is sitting there with enough wealth to cure world hunger twice and the Catholic Church is a charity.
Christians are often the most hypocritical, judgmental, intolerant people on this planet, hear me out. Let it be said that I believe in God and could be called a Christian. However, I see an awful lot of self-proclaimed Christians doing things that a God of love would most definitely not approve of. In an effort to keep this short, I will give you a "for instance". You could feed a nation but unless you do it with a pure heart with the sole intent of helping out of pure selflessness, you're not doing it for them. If you do this, just to post it to your Facebook wall and go, look what I did I helped all these people, I'm a good Christian. No, you're doing that for you. God says go forth and spread the word, be the light, be the truth and speak it. Never does it say go cram it down people's throats and berate them, judge them condemn them. Is it your place to condemn another? In the name of God? No. Now, if you are a Christian doing that, what are you really accomplishing except running off a soul that perhaps could have been saved if shown love and kindness? But instead, now they want nothing to do with a God because of your actions. That is incredibly sad, and it's been a problem for millennia. Before I make this video entirely too long, I'll end with this. If you are a Christian hand picking out pieces of the Bible to suit your needs and your agenda, should you really be calling yourself of God, a Christian of Christ? I think not. Because let's move everything off the table except for this. Love one another. Berating others, judging others, condemning others is not of love period. Lastly, if what you're doing in front of others in the day does not match with your heart in the dark and at night when you're alone. Then this video may anger you, for that I apologize. But if that should be the case, perhaps you should look within as to why that is.
Family is not blood. Just because they're family doesn't mean you have to love them. Love is not a duty. Love is not an obligation. You love because it's real and it's coming from a genuine place. Blood is not an excuse. Blood is not an exception. Family is not blood.
AMEN!!!! The family I love does not share one drop of blood with me, while the family I was born into has used and abused me. Not anymore. Stick a fork in me, I am done.
I already know I'm going to get a lot of hate for this. But once you get married, your partner comes first, even before your parents, if you're not ready to put your wife before your mother, you're not ready to get married.
If you have to become a biological parent, meaning your DNA in a new human to understand and experience unconditional love, i,e. you have not experienced unconditional love for family members, friends, nieces, nephews, puppies, dogs, pets, any of those things. If you have to become a biological parent to experience unconditional love. That's not unconditional love. That's narcissism. You needed to see your DNA in another being and see yourself in order to love them. I would argue that parental unconditional love, biological unconditional love is the least compelling, unconditional love. Stop telling people that if they've never been a parent, they don't understand unconditional love because you don't either.
Just because you're smart, you have your masters or your PhD it doesn't necessarily mean that you're a good teacher.
There is no nursing shortage. Nurses are plentiful. We're 4 million strong in this country. One in every 100 people is a nurse. Nurses are everywhere. What there is, is a shortage of nurses at the bedside because they've left, because of healthcare administrators creating toxic, unsafe working conditions. But make no mistake about it. There is no shortage of the number of nurses. If conditions improved if we had mandated staffing ratios. If we had protections and legislation in place, nurses would return to the bedside. There is not a shortage of the amount of nurses. Be very clear. This is propaganda created by healthcare administrators to get away with s**ty staffing so they can save money at patients expense and at nurses expense, no nursing shortage.
Abortion shouldn't really be a big deal because when a fetus is inside of a woman, it doesn't have any memories, concept of life or emotion. So why do we care? Women should be allowed to be shirtless in public without being sexualized or harassed. Children under 13 shouldn't be allowed internet because they're easier to groom manipulate and tend to give up personal information easier. There's a huge difference between finding Asians attractive and fetishizing them because of anime and K-pop. I don't support Trump. But Biden is not amazing. People care too much about teenage boys wearing skirts as if Black Lives Matter doesn't exist. If you're a person of color, you have no right to be homophobic because you face the same discrimination is them. And lastly, cats are better than dogs.
I agree with abortion considering there are other concerns out there plus without it people could die from miscarriage or the fetus is sick. If men can be shirtless why tf can’t others, idc. The ones who care also grew up with hatred for groups of people. I agree with the Internet thing (for video games, you should restrict chat usage). True about the Asian fetishization. Neither of them are amazing politicians, but one’s pro/cons outweigh the other. Gender shouldn’t be in clothing. BLM is NOT an evil corporation (I know people who think this). Discriminating another minority in general is wrong. And I love both animals equally but when I’m able to I want a cat
Okay, this is for me and I'm really excited to tell you about the kind of mom that I am that I don't think other moms appreciate. I would rather my little girls say things like f**k, than call somebody fat or say, oh s**t, instead of telling someone they're ugly, like, use expressive words, that's fine. You will not ever degrade anyone else or make them feel terrible about themselves. So yeah, if you hear my kid drop the F bomb. We're probably not going to get onto them about it.
Most parents don't actually know their own children. I've been a teacher for many, many years of all levels except for early childhood. I'm also a parent of adults now, this is my experience. Parents will only really be proud of their children when they do the thing that they want them to do. What they don't understand is that we as the strangers or the outsiders get to see the true personality of the child. Of course, that child or young person has to mask around narcissistic parents. And it's always to do with ego because these people, these parents don't work on themselves. And because they don't work on themselves, they try to live the life through their kids to feed their own ego. I also know this from personal experience because I don't really get to know my son's personalities until they were much older and could express them openly. So ask yourself parent, are you only proud of your child when they do the thing that you want them to do?
if when you tell who you are your father commits you, if when you don't do what he likes he beats you, if you don't think what he want he burns you ; you SHOULD be dishonest and not show yourself as who you are ; it's not freedom of speech "you can tell me anything but if you do......." you can't I can't you SHOULDN'T be honest in front of someone who is stronger than you ; who has the power the means AND the will to hurt you..
Black men, disrespect and talk s**t about black women more than anybody else on the damn planet. Even though black women praise and put black men here, black men don't reciprocate that same energy. Now I know what you're saying. No, not all men. I would never do that. Okay, I know not all men. But most of us really be doing that and I'm not going to act like I've never done it before, but still fight me.
Let's not forget about how the majority of sex traffickers in the US are black men.. and the majority of people being trafficked are black women.. but apparently black ppl enslaving other black ppl is excusable? Yet we blame the white men who purchase these women (not excusing them. They're POS too and should absolutely be prosecuted) more than we blame the actual ppl doing the pimping, exploiting, beating, debugging, kid napping etc. ppl just love to ignore the black on black violence in this country n then they'll make excuses and say "white ppl love to bring up black on black violence" and make it some race issue that is some conspiracy made up by white folks to make black ppl look bad. When in reality it's something that is not talked about enough. N to be clear.. I am a bi sexual Afro Cuban Italian woman.. I have experienced a whole lot of discrimination in my life.. so I'm not speaking out of my ass on this. I'm just sick of seeing women n children being trafficked.
Having a neighborhood of people that you don't even know is better than having a neighborhood of your own relatives.
One of the advantages of living in larger towns & cities is that most people do tend to mind their own business. It's not deliberate. We're all just going about our lives in a busy place and usually don't intersect. Some people find it alienating, I've always found it comfortable.
Yes, teachers have favorite students but that's on you fam, be better.
I think pumpkin spice lattes are disgusting and they taste like butt.
If somebody cheats on you, you have to leave because they will subconsciously see you as weak and a pushover for forgiving them. And they'll either cheat on you again, or they will hurt you in some other way. So, if somebody cheats on you, the only option is to say f**k you and leave.
This is very black and white and lacks understanding of the depth and diversity of people and relationships.
I agree wholeheartedly. Now that I'm thinking about it though, if the person who cheated on you thinks you're weak for staying maybe they are just someone you shouldn't be with. I know if stories where cheating happened and the marriage worked out.
Load More Replies...I know several couples where this was the case. I also knew a few where a lot of counseling was done and they were able to move forward. I don't think serial cheaters change though.
I have a pair of friends who are a couple, and there was some straying on both sides early on, but eventually that just drifted off as they worked to make things between them smoother and more cohesive. They’ve been together for 30 years.
Load More Replies...About 5 years ago, I cheated on my husband. We separated and I hit rock bottom in life. I realize how shitty of a wife I was and how I had turned into a bad mother and person in general. I made a change and worked hard to become a better person. It took my husband about a year to forgive me enough to give me another chance. Now, we are very happy. I am honest with him about everything, even things that may make him uncomfortable, because I want transparency and trust. We are each others best friend and never get tired of each other. If a person truly wants to, they can change. It's not easy. It take a lot of time and hard work. But, even had we not worked things out, I am happy with who I am now. The fact that we are completely in love and happy is just an amazing perk that I don't take for granted
Disagree. There is as many relationship types than there is people. Sex and love have nothing in common. Communication and respect is the key to a healthy relationship, being in a relationship doesn't automatically make the person less selfish, less broken, without mistakes. Strong relationships are were everyone can speak openly. I have gone on holidays alone, I have gone out alone, and I have fallen in love multiple times during my 13+yr of relationship, and I always tell him about all my actions not because I want to brag, but to discuss why I'm feeling this way. The best decision we ever made was to inform each other if we have thoughts or plans to go out and have sex/dates with someone else. This gives us chance to talk, and also I can make a choice is it something I deal with or I will leave . If I stay I cannot use it against him in future to win fights, if I leave he respects my choice. So far talking prior to hurting has kept as loyal to each other
I disagree with this one. The world is not so black and white. There is way too many scenarios and personality types to say this situation is cut and dry. If it works for the OP, then live that life, but it's not the same for every relationship ever
Nope. My ex-wife cheated on me. We were going through a very rough time, I was in a deep depression and stopped being affectionate, and she turned to another man. She told me, felt horrible and thought I would leave her, but I knew why she did it and couldn’t really blame her. She didn’t do because she thought nothing of me or was devious, she did because she was LONELY. We moved on from it and were fine. Well, until we amicably divorced years later for unrelated reasons, anyway.
For me this view is black and white just like cheating, it is more complicated than it seems ,though for me cheating is one of the worst things you can do.You go or you stay. They cheated because they were drunk, they didn't say anything about a partner/spouse, they lied (3rd person didn't know)they feel lonely, the relationship is dead, toxic relationship etc. End of the day the decision is for the "victim/cheated person" sorry don't know what to call it, and people shouldn't judge them on it , just show them care
Disagree. They could just as easily subconsciously believe they’ll die in a burning bed if they ever do it again. Some people have an error in judgement. It’s not always about disloyalty, dishonesty, taking someone for granted, etc. Sometimes circumstances collude in f****d up ways.
ya know - this one time I figured it was karmic payback for all the times I did the same to others. 13 years now, just the one time, and going pretty strong. Although he did have hell to pay for violating my trust and it's taken 12 of those 13 years to build it back. All good now. If he does it again, I'm taking more than half of everything... and probably breaking his favorite guitar.
Man cheats on me, he 1) gets the SuperGlue treatment & 2) gets his $#it and LEAVES
You need to first ask under what context you'd consider being cheated on acceptable. Then work from there.
I dont understand people for whom cheating and physical assault are the only 2 relationship dealbreakers and everything else should be worked through. And everyone has a different idea of what cheating is.
"Shame on you if you fool me once, shame on me if you fool me twice" also is relevant.
That may sometimes be the case but it is definitely not always the case. It really depends on the people involved and the circumstances behind the cheating.
Seems like someone (OP) was cheated on. Every situation is different. Every person is different.
This is a powerplay gone wrong and not a relationship. Of course in a healthy monogamous relationship the need to be unfaithful should not be a big issue but every good relationship that lasts will at some point have hard times and sometimes temptations coming with it. Sometimes it's good to remind yourself that you gave your partner a promise and a simple cheating will not make me give up on my partner. Only if we can't find the way back to each other over a long period and I feel I have done everything I could.
That a lot of people are exactly the kind of people that they warn their own children about.
Gryffindor were not the chosen house or the chosen ones, Ravenclaw was. Because outside of Slytherin, Ravenclaw was actually the hardest house to get into. Because if you weren't pureblood pretty much you would not get into Slytherin. And if the Sorting Hat did not detect at least an ounce of genius in you, you're damn sure not getting into Ravenclaw. Gryffindor was only popping because of the Hermione Granger. Without Hermione Granger Gryffindor would not be s**t. I feel like people that are like oh Gryffindor, Gryffindor, Gryffindor – only watched the movies, they did not read the books. If they did they would know Ravenclaws were the s**t. Yes, they love backstabbing towards each other. However, that's just like, get over it. And Hufflepuffs were not losers, okay, the world would be a lot better if we had Hufflepuffs in this world.
When I tell people that I look at looks first and then personality. I don't understand why so many people are pressed about this. It's not like I'm saying I will sacrifice looks for personality. The world is big enough for me to find someone with better both worlds. It's not just one. What's wrong with that? And if you're upset at me, then maybe you're insecure about something. Think about it.
This will pass as one matures past one’s overwhelming mating instincts.
Majority of women that I have come across that are always like, yes queen, you go girl, women supporting women, build women up. They're the type of girls that like always hyping people up on social media. Some of them are the most toxic people I have ever met.
The women who do it on social media expressly for likes and use language like yes queen, you go girl might very well be toxic. But women supporting women and genuinely investing time and energy (beyond a vapid social media comment) are absolutely not. I have been blessed by knowing some amazing women who have supported, encouraged and mentored me over the years and they have been some of the most rewarding relationships I have had. I think the differentiating factor is.... are you doing because you genuinely care about the women or are you in it for attention or likes. Because one of these does not look like the other.
I think you should pursue your career based on the money and not based on what will emotionally fulfill you. Let me explain. We put so much weight in having our careers fulfill us emotionally, professionally, spiritually. I mean, like, we think of our careers as synonymous with our identities. But what if you f**king hate your job? What if it's just exactly that? What if it's just a job? So would you rather pick a low paying job or a high paying job? If you're let's just assume like, there's gonna be points when you hate your job anyway? Why not just pick a higher paying job?
Up to a certain salary point that's true. But consistent studies have shown that beyond a certain figure, the money stops being enough. You spend between 66-75% of your adult life working (taking the average working week of 40 hours and working between the ages of 18 and 69). That's a very long time to be masochistic enough to *hate* your job. I'd say ditch "career" and find well paying jobs you can switch between. Who cares if your CV says "Manager, DJ, Teacher, Dog Walker, Accountant".
Not immediately getting the COVID vaccine because you don't think there's enough information about it and you want to be more informed about it is not anti-vax. And it's not selfish. It's not even anti the COVID vaccine. If you're someone who's gotten the vaccine, and you freak out because people want to be more informed before they get it, you're being ridiculous.
Still ridiculous. Modern vaccines are only released once thoroughly researched by people who actually understand what and how to research. I absolutely hate this ‘do my own research’ line of thinking. Don’t fly unless you’ve thoroughly researched aviation dynamics? Don’t receive anaesthetic or surgery until you’ve researched medical procedures more thoroughly than a professional? Nonsense.
That's profitable for the medical industry if the body positivity movement succeeds. In theory of the hospital industry sole purpose was for profit, having people be okay with being overweight is not that bad of an idea because then they're at higher risk for treatable cancers and diseases in theory.
That is not what body positivity is ffs!! No one in the f*****g world thinks being obese is f*****g healthy!! It simply means no one is going to beat themselves up and feel ashamed of who they are in that moment skinny or fat. No one wants advice on their body no one wants commentary on their body that is it. If someone thinks they look good in a crop top and they're obese let them be. They know they're obese. They don't need input disguised as concern for a strangers health. Leave peoples bodies alone. No one os asking you for your opinion. I don't go around telling men how to regrow their hair just like I wouldn't tell a woman she can't eat that dessert bc I feel she's overweight
There are some controversial opinions here, but more than half come under the category "water is wet, the sky shades to blue, and humans contain DNA."
Ooh, controversial. 🤔 Is water wet? Or does it make the things it touches wet? There is a difference. 😆
