I wanna hear all about them.

Everyone should be taught the difference between biological sex and gender.
People calling things out as cultural appropriation are racist.
If you're saying that only certain races can eat a certain food, wear certain cloths, have certain hairstyles what you are advocating for is racial segregation.
That was done before and most people can agree it was a bad idea.
No one is saying not to eat another cultures food. It's about someone taking something hundred or thousands of years old, putting a spin on it and then saying they "improved" it for whatever dominant culture or made it "less weird" or "palatable" for main stream. Also without referencing or giving credit to the original culture. That white woman calling herself the Congee queen is appropriation. Anyone just lovin some rice porridge is appreciation and more the merrier.
Spam needs to be outlawed.
No. It's so good. I HAVE SHIRT WITH SPAM ON IT RHAT IBE POSTED ABOUT BEFORE
Repeating something louder doesn't mean you're right.
Religion should not be a valid reason to cut in childrens healthy genitals regardless of their sex. They should be allowed to pick if they want this for themselves when they turn 18 and can confirm that they want this non reversible procedure done.
yes. my dad's parents werent even religious and they were trying to avoid a VERY RARE medical issue that he DID NOT GET so i still dont know why
Shrek is one of the best movies of all time
The Olympics exist to show off people with talent. If they hired normal people it would be funny
Autotune is the worst thing that has ever happened to music. Talentless people make mediocre "fast food" music. Shaky cam is a crime against movies and series. You get the feeling that the actors don't have to be so talented and the sets are on a small budget when the picture sways as if the cameraman/women has bad delirium.
If I was the mayor of my little town, I'd have secret town ordinances made up every so often - random, silly ones - that nobody knows, and if you violate that ordinance you get a prize rather than a punishment. You know, like using the secret word on a game show.
I have so many ideas for those right now.
Yeah! Like for putting out your sick or elderly neighbors trash. Picking up others peoples litter. Positive inforcement.
It sure seems to me that the u.s politicians that are all about the 2nd amendment are actively working on making this country more dangerous. The daranged man in California used a mac-10. A freaky mac -10. You dont use that to hunt. What the hell are we doing here? Im all for hunting but this is completely insane. No arguement is valid to support keeping the weapons out there.
A fairly good argument could be made that the 2nd amendment applies to militia members only, and therefore, as the modern equivalent of a militia, only the National Guard/military reservists should be allowed to own weapons. But, regular citizens shouldn't.
gender is an identity, sex is how your body works. There's a difference.
You can't fight racism with racism nor sexism with sexism.
If someone believes in a religion, people need to be respectful of it. If someone is using their religion as a means to hurt others, chances are the message of the religion has been twisted and the person's actions are inpired by themselves. So criticize the actions of the person. Not the religion.
If religious people need to be respectful of people who choose not to believe, it must work the other way too.
To those who say, "religion has caused so much conflict", I say I agree. But religion itself did nothing. It is a dangerous interpretation of it that likely led to conflict. And besides, even if religions never existed, people would have just found some other reason to fight and kill.
So many times across this site I find such a deep hatred for religion, people just being nasty for almost no reason. My heart aches for all the people who have been pained in a way that they want to stay away from religion. Too many people use religon for personal gain rather than to uphold most of the common values of serving and helping others. This is what drives people away.
But there are still those of us who are trying to uphold those values. Those of us who are trying to uphold the values of honesty, humility, and integrity. The value of helping one another. The value of "there is no compulsion in religion". Values that have been muddled for so long that people forget they exist. And it really is disheartening and discouraging when you see all your efforts to mend the broken image of religion do down the drain when the other person just isn't ready to understand, and take any chance to take a jab at religion more than is due.
100%!!!! Religion can be amazing, if you use it the right way. My best friend is very religious and is very open minded because of it
If you proclaim yourself Alpha anything, you aren't.
The separation of Church and State needs to be more enforced in the USA.
When I watch the news I seriously get confused and wonder if the majority of republican politicians got a different history/government lesson. I clearly learned there is supposed to be a separation of church and state, but there they are saying but the Bible says this....and I just go ???????
Sexuality should not be demonized and neither the church nor the government has the right to impinge on our right to love who we desire so long as they are of age.
YES although thankfully i think most people agree with you
Our (United States) government is extremely corrupt, because they are all bought by special interests, particularly after the Citizens United decision.
Yes, and voters seem to like the worst of politicians and elect them again and again.
Mental abuse is STILL ABUSE!!!
Gods my parents need to learn this
I am glad this is becoming more known. Australia has introduced the term 'coercive control' to their laws to start to combat it.
As a female, I think some others have taken feminism WAYY too far.
Like women always telling men “Count your days” “We don’t need you”
“All men _____”
Just stop. The people who do that are worse than how they say women are treated.
I’m all for EQUALITY, but not female supremacy. Or male supremacy. Or anyone else supremacy unless it is a very lovable animal that is a good boy/girl.
For the earth to keep populating, we need both men and women. We both have it hard.
That is not feminism. Even members of groups that have historically been victims of bigotry can be bigots themselves
If you genuinely care about others, it will show. Be nice towards others.
Ok quick hot take: IF THE OPINION IS SHARED BY 99% OF THE POPULATION IT IS NOT A HOT TAKE IT IS A FACT
America is not the worst country in the world, but is certainly NOT the best!
Ok, so my best frineds little sister was talking about how her cat got her hindlegs ran over and her father had "No choice" but to shoot her.
Yea, I know people see it other ways and all, but for real, if a HUMANS legs got ran over, would you shoot them? Probably not, right? But if it's an ANIMAL it's injuries means it's not allowed to live? Like, help it and give it a chance to live, don't just deam it as just an "animal" and kill it because it's hurt. But, yea. That's my hot take for today :P
I don't know if I would put an animal through operations, pain and therapy which I can not explain to them. There are situations in which "we can" does not mean " we should". I am not saying don't try to help the animal but try taking their perspective. There is pain, fear, lonelyness at the vet, ... for a potential life in pain.
bts has no musical talent
I'm sorry, and i am from the US, but seriously ya'll. THE US IS KINDA F****D UP. I mean, we made up an entirely different measuring system just to be different from England. Talk about strained family relationships. AND we come up with a new currency just to mess with the world. imagine immigrating here and having NO CLUE as to what the f**k is happening. Not cool, Washington.
The imperial system came from England, and what country, until the Euro, hasn't used its own money?
Just because its legal doesnt mean its not Murder.
People need to be allowed to say what they want even if it's offensive. HOWEVER, that doesn't mean you get to be protected from social opprobrium. Now, this specific post is about "hot takes". Apparently people here don't know what these are. Most of the posts are standard views shared on BP. The only hot take here is the one about shooting feral cats. The rest are pretty standard, or troll posts. People the post was about you giving your hot take. It was not about getting points for approval. What's the point of getting people to give their hot takes and then they get taken down by downvotes??
I don't know if " hot take " is an American phrase or I just generally don't have a clue. What does it mean?
Toilet paper belongs only over the roll not under
Smoking shouldn't just be banned in public places, we should dismantle the tobacco industry in its entirety.
I agree with you, but at the same time I hope it never happens because I am addicted to their product.
Gender is a social construct. It is all made up, like the word orange.
Seriously, my only hot take lately has been taking the pizza out of the oven.
I've never had pineapple on pizza. Right now, I've been into bacon cheeseburger pizza, but I add onions.
chick fila is gross
This is for all parents
It doesnt matter if you don't hit your kids or say I love you, mental abuse still hurts just as much as physical. also if you've only hit your kid once or twice, that sh*t will affect them forever. no amount of I love you's will fix that.
The needs of the many, outweigh the needs of the few, or of the one
Why are there drug adverts on TV? "Ask your doctor about Damnitol!" Me: "Hey doc! I need Damnitol! TV told me so!" Doc: "No, it's an antidepressant, what you really need it opto-rectal surgury to get rid of your s****y outlook on life!" Me: "Ouch!" Commercial fail.
If you accept her at her worst, you will never see her best.
I am not sure about this. Everyone has a worst day of their life. I think the question is how often does "the worst" happens.
the big bang theory is still overrated
The media reports unfairly and with major bias on the Palestine-Israel "conflict".
(Conflict in quotation marks because the term has a connotation of two parties, equal in strength and power, when in fact it's just an illegal occupation.)
Is this a hot take? I don't know. It shouldn't be.
Christopher Nolan movies suck
If you cant drink it straight, you probably shouldnt be drinking it.
The difference between top shelf and mixers. You don't make Irish Coffee with 16 year old single malt Bushmills. You drink that. You mix the cheap c**p.
It's interesting that people always expect others to do what they themselves would do.
Every time humans see a monster they just call it an animal.
Don't be scared if you've ever encountered a self-professed" alpha male" ....... they're a lot lower down in the pecking order than 'likeable' guys....... you know it,,,,, they know it........ and we all know it, and they back off to f**k when called out on it.
Broccoli tastes like human children
Saul goodman x Lobster Patrick Stewart x Ford Pines is the best ship ever/j.
So my hot take is this. I sometimes wonder if noocracy is not better/preferable to democracy. The trick would be to figure out how to make it not turn into dictatorship. Feel free to discuss but if you downvote without explaining why, you're a coward.
Not just Dictatorship, Anarchy, and probably several other evils I can't think of. People have had about 50,000 years to try a lot of different kinds of governments. Of the ones that have survived democracy is still the best option. Something that sounds good but doesn't work (some of our current laws) is not a good idea.
Here's a controversial one:
Women don't get @bortions because they don't want the baby. They get them because it's easier to hide. It's easier than dealing with the stares and comments from others when you tell them you're putting it up for adoption.
I would argue and say that every woman is different and their decisions are their own but the real reasons why women get abortions are: the pregnancy is medically unsafe for the woman, the fetus is non viable, mother and father or just mother is unable to provide whether that be financially or emotionally, OR SHE JUST DOESN'T WANT TO BE A MOTHER. Adoption is not always the better alternative. Especially when the foster care system is so horrendous and many kids are still waiting to be adopted.
you cant be racist to white people
What is it? I read the whole bally thing and I still don't know
Load More Replies...
My hot take is that people here are gatekeeping, what does hot take mean. I don't know either, or I thought it meant something like the little hill to die on. Not everyone understands sayings if it is not the person's native language.The internet told me the following: "a piece of commentary, typically produced quickly in response to a recent event, whose primary purpose is to attract attention."
