1. CMV: Things like "Watch your drink" or "use a buddy system" aren't victim blaming
There was a guide on r/coolguides [/r/coolguides] that flipped these tips on their head like "if you see a drink, don't spike it" or similar inversions of these tips on the basis that you should not victim blame. But these aren't victim blaming. If you don't lock your door to your house and it gets…

In countries such as Finland [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Finland], Denmark [ https://en..wikipedia.org/wiki/Conscription_in_Denmark], Norway, and Greece, several months of military service is required once citizens reach a certain age, with those who object having the option to…

3. CMV: Xenogenders aren’t valid and don’t make any sense.
This belief is based on the idea of categories and their utility. When you have a category, in this instance “gender”, it must contain some things and exclude others for it to be a category. If it can be molded to be anything you want, than it’s not a category anymore and is just a word that could…

4. cmv: Legitimate news sites need to stop saying someone "slammed" something.
I am so sick of everything getting "slammed". It's completely meaningless. If someone was "slammed" by someone else it tells me exactly nothing about what actually happened. News needs to report what actually happened and why. Was something illegal? Was it just someone's opinion? Is it legitimate?…

5. cmv: The USWNT has no clothes
A new movie paid for and produced by CNN is coming out and capping a few years of heavy media coverage of the US women's soccer party structure. Consistently they have claimed unequal pay. The official judgement when dismissing their lawsuits were based on the following points: They and their…

6. CMV: Saying that you cannot be racist towards a white person based on the idea that 'racism = power + privilege' is incredible narrow-minded, ignorant and Eurocentric.
Whilst I understand the logic behind the sentiment, the 'racism = power + privilege', the arguement falls apart when you zoom out and attempt to comprehend the scope of the prejudice and discrimination that happens all over the world on a daily basis. I have been spat on in the streets of Tunisia…

7. CMV: All drugs should be fully legalized, including for sale
I believe all drugs (yes, ALL drugs) should immediately be legalized and we should create legal, regulated, and taxed markets for people to sell them on. > But then people will be able to try drugs whenever they want! Overdoses will > go through the roof! If people want to try drugs, I am not…

https://www.ravishly.com/im-genderfluid I believed "genderfluid" to mean that someone was exploring gender, not that they felt and wanted to be referred to as different genders throughout the day. "Throughout a single day, I will most likely fluctuate between masculine to androgynous to feminine…

First of all and most obviously they are committing a genocide of a minority population, sure it's not at shove as many people into the gas chamber level of genocide yet but neither was pre-war nazi Germany. China is systematically destroying every single culture and people's that aren't fully…

10. CMV: Traffic laws should be enforced by an unarmed traffic department
Having police officers enforce traffic laws is an inefficient use of resources and creates unnecessarily dangerous situations for both the public and the police officers. Police have so many difficult jobs to do and taking traffic enforcement off the list would allow them to focus and get better at…

11. CMV: It makes more sense logically to join the military than to go to college for the average 18 year old
The Reddit community enjoys downing the military and says troops are “stupid” but I think it actually makes more sense logically to join the military at 18 than to go to college and here’s why. College: Pros: You have more choice on where you go if you can get into a school there. You have more…

I can't think of anything, I've really tried and I just want to know what people think? I'm really looking here. If we are all for equality in today's society then you shouldn't be unaccepting of men wearing women's clothes when women wear men's clothes all the time and no one gives a fuck. My…

13. CMV: I am happy to see that seeking therapy is becoming more accepted in the West, but therapists aren't your friends, your friends are
This is just something that I have come to observe. Now, it might have something to do with me and whom I choose to surround myself around, but it feels like more people are beginning to throw the "have you considered therapy" line as a way of shutting others up. They don't really want to hear about…

14. CMV: Fahrenheit is less usefull than Celcius
The most often argument I hear in favour of Fahrenheit is the base of the system which means 0 = really cold and 100 = really hot. This is definitely a system that could be used from a day to day basis and if your used to it you know how the weather behaves. However often 0-100 example is…

15. CMV: In self defense, the defender should have significantly more leeway in using force even if it turns out to be excessive.
To be clear, I'm only talking about cases where the threat is still active. If someone's running away you obviously shouldn't be able to shoot them in the back. But if someone punches you and is still an active threat to you, you should be able to stab/shoot them to neutralize them. A punch can…

16. CMV: The slavery in the Old Testament is unquestionably, indefensibly evil.
I was a Christian for 25+ years (currently Agnostic). During my Christian years, my view on slavery in the Old Testament was basically, "social norms were different back then and God was trying to work with what he had." This is a terrible excuse because a divine author of morality shouldn't…

There are exceptions to this and that is if they are in a position of power and authority and their speech indicated they are negatively impacting groups of people in their lives due to being the owner of a business, a politician, or a person of legal authority. With in that exception it needs to…
