1. CMV: Money does buy happiness. It’s literally the whole point of modern society.
Money doesn't buy happiness. Its a statement that is a complete and udder lie that is only used to keep the poor from feeling bad about their current situations. Of course money buys happiness. The world was literally built on the idea of currency. You'd have to be an absolute buffoons' to assume…

2. CMV: People should stop referring to American culture as “white culture” and start referring to it as “American culture” instead.
“White culture” is synonymous with American culture because most Americans are white and “white culture” is the dominant culture in the USA. People should stop referring to American culture as “white culture” and start referring to it as “American culture” because it doesn’t let nonwhites assimilate…

3. CMV: I think it should be okay to criticize people for their unethical behavior even if their circumstances/conditions/culture led them to it.
A lot of times, we hear people in the West defending atrocities committed by other cultures/nations, saying that "We are not in a position to judge them for their wrongdoings, since we are a product of Western culture and we have been indoctrinated with Western values." I think this sentiment is…

4. CMV: it’s not okay to reach out to someone you didn’t match with on other social platforms just because you saw them on Tinder/Bumble
I don’t have my social handles listed on any of my dating profiles but I’ve still had people be able to find my Instagram as some of them go to the same college as me and we have mutual followers. I don’t think this is okay as the fact that we didn’t match should indicate that I may not be…

5. CMV: Despite disillusioned people, humans are living more privileged and rewarding lives today than they were even 10 years ago.
There are some people that think humanity is only getting worse, all changes that come forth are bad etc, you know the type. But I don't think that's how it is. But challenge me. I don't see humanity getting worse, or people getting worse, but better, even despite the melting pots of people who are…

6. CMV: Abortion is a red herring political issue and gets a disproportionate attention for its impact
It's pretty easy to find abortion advocates, on either side, who treat this as the ONE issue that will dominate political discourse. The US has ~610,000 abortions/year. For comparison, heart disease kills ~650K/year and cancer kills ~ 600K/year. We all agree cancer and heart disease are bad, but…

7. CMV: Taxing unrealized capital gains is an absolutely horrific idea
To illustrate my point, let’s take a simple example: I buy $100 worth of stock in a company, that stock then appreciates in value to $500, meaning I owe taxes on $400 worth of “unrealized capital gains”. If the stock then plummets to $50 in value, all of a sudden I owe the government for assets I…

8. CMV: It’s not an employees responsibility to find a replacement
I remember when I first started working, as long as someone gave a few days notice before calling off, the manager would handle scheduling. It was nice if you had already found someone to fill in for you but it wasn’t an expectation. But it seems at some point that changed where now the employee is…

9. CMV: saying ‘sex work is real work’ is dangerous
I’m less inclined to change my view on this topic, more interested to hear opposing views; I am, however, open to re-evaluating my position and realise my logic may be wrong. I am not saying that sex work isn’t HARD work, even in the slightest. I just feel that the line between ‘lingeries on…

10. CMV: burgers ARE sandwiches.
it boggles my mind how many people I've met who think that burgers aren't sandwiches. it's crazy. they're so obviously sandwiches. the definition of a sandwich is 2 pieces of bread, crackers etc, with something between them. a burger is 2 bread buns with a beef (sometimes chicken) patty in the…

11. CMV: neo-pronouns are selfish
I’m all for trans rights, gender roles should burn in flames and gender identities should rise from the ashes, but we have 3 pronouns everyone is used to, he, she, and they. if none of these apply to you, you can’t get offended when your own personal unique pronoun isn’t used, because you’re forcing…

12. CMV: In a humane society, painless assisted suicide should be legal for all 25+ people.
The reason for the age restriction is that people's brains are not done developing until their mid-twenties, and because there are a lot of fluctuations in emotions and life circumstances in your youth. There should be a time lock after signing up for the assisted euthanasia where you have to wait…

13. CMV: Cancel culture is a manipulative tactic used to silence people.
Cancel culture is annoying. No one is perfect so we all make mistakes but what's annoying about this is how people exploit these mistakes to use you as a strawman by looking for hipocrisy in your words. I just can't help but see that as a way to undermine an opponent and not as a way to promote a…

In recent years it seems that many subjects have become much more divisive. I don't want to dwell on who's right, because my concern isn't about right or wrong, but about our ability as a society to live together with these growing differences. Politics - In the USA there you can…

15. CMV: A gun is always loaded, regardless of who you are, what situation you are in, or what others around you have told you.
This was drilled into my mind a thousand times, I am curious if people think there are legitimate cases where this doesn't apply. I was always told that regardless of whether or not you just checked the gun, or just finished firing it, or any other set of circumstances, the only safe way to approach…

16. CMV: "Thou Shall Not Rape" Is An Example Of A Universal Law
A Universal Law, according to Kant's Categorical Imperative, should be able to be followed by everyone, with absolutely no exceptions. There is no situation that I can think of in which this maxim should be violated. This is because rape is never a solution to a problem. A person will not die due…

17. CMV: The term "gatekeeping" has no place in conversations about mental health diagnoses
What I mean is, if someone says they have autism, but do not have any/enough of the symptoms of autism to meet criteria for that diagnosis, it is not "gatekeeping" to say they do not have autism. Diagnoses are definitions of diifferent types brains and/or different types of human suffering based…

19. CMV: It is wrong to use "small dick" or variations thereof as a means to insult someone.
I'm of the belief that using an intrinsic quality of someone as a basis of insult is wrong. There are countless other ways we try to improve our language to be more sensitive and inclusive; I don't see a valid reason this should be an exception. As a corollary part of my view on this I believe that…
