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.
I guess US when they are using the numbers 4 million and 1 in every 100, that would equal to 400 million and US has more than 300 million people so numbers are pretty close.

When I was in the medical field all I ever heard about was the constant battle to keep the hospital executives from killing off the patients in order to save a penny here and there. They always seemed to just be absolutely irresponsible jerks who would constantly flirt with multi-million dollar lawsuits and blame everyone else for the endless problems they caused.
I learned a few days ago that "toxic work environment" as a term was first coined in the sixties in a book about nursing work environments. As someone with a lot of experience in healthcare, I get that. Nurses and health care workers are not heroes, they get paid to distance themselves from the matter. It's not cool to wipe someone's butt or stick a needle in them. It's not fun to watch people die. And it's also no fun to see young doctors (who get paid to carry a lot of risk once they complete their education, they take responsibility for your life...) have more authority than you. So nursing staff feels like they are owed more than their salary. The ugly truth is, they don't. They just got tricked in that idea that they are super heroes. But the reality is that distancing yourself can be done by the many. So society doesn't feel they owe them anything. Stinks. But that's the way the cookie crumbles.
I am a retired Respiratory Therapist. I was told by the administration that I could be replaced. My wh entire department were chastised for being lazy and sleeping between scheduled rounds. I was personally told, "You don't have a friend in this building." The Department consisted of 6 full time RTs that had worked together for 11 -20+ years together. We had 150 years combined experience. This was really starting to damage me mentally. When I could take it no more, I resigned. I was told, "Thank you," for resigning!!!! Within 2 months the entire department had been fired or let go. I sought counseling because I had become so unsure of my value as a person. I was so angry and bitter! I was diagnosed with PTSD! By the way the patients never complained about anyone in our department.
Not sure where this poster got her/his information, but in the U.S., more than 500,000 seasoned RNs anticipated to retire by 2022. "The nursing profession continues to face shortages due to a lack of potential educators, high turnover, and inequitable workforce distribution. The causes related to the nursing shortage are numerous and issues of concern." There definitely IS a nursing shortage in the U.S., and it will get much worse, before it gets better.
No doubt there are unhealthy work places and attitudes, but I wonder if the lack of "bedside" nurses has anything to do with the specialization of traditional general nursing roles. Last time I was hospitalized for same day surgery, there were several nurses taking care of me: medication nurse, phlebotomy nurse, nurse anesthetist, etc.
Happened too me. I actually told them. After I said Hello. N then garden crap.
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.
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. 😆

Controversial Opinion: Heels look weird. I decided to view them as they were - a stick under your heel for no purpose. Also it's people on their tip toes all day long. It's weird.
I agree. It's weird, and forces women to walk funny and look uncomfortable. I think a comfortable happy woman is way more attractive than a cranky lady with sore feet.

What kind of scattershot faux-deep beige-opinion word salad is this nonsense?
My thing that people may not be ready to hear, if I may contribute: not everyone is as much of an a*****e as they seem, and you are not as much of a non-a*****e as you believe. Goes for us all, I feel. Self included. :) Let's try not to immediately label each other as monsters the moment something shocks us.
Gracious! Well, I'll rush to do just that! Hang on while I stop taking my meds and wait for the voices to return. 😵💫
