What’s your most controversial opinion?

People are getting married way to fast. The pressure from previous generations to get a high paying job, find a partner and have kids is annoying. Our society is not built on love but your worth is reduced to how much money you have in your back account and its just sad to be honest.
 
My son and his fiancée are 5 minutes into their engagement, both well under 25 and she is especially being inundated by friends, family, coworkers and strangers alike suggesting she hurry up and start a family. She is 21 tomorrow!

Women are routinely pressured, early, often and even relentlessly, to have children. It’s gross. It’s the first thing my others sons (now ex) girlfriend’s Mother told me when they started dating. ‘You know she doesn’t want kids, right?’ And? Sounds like a conversation between our adult kids, without input from either of us! As it is, she wants kids and he does not, hence why they’re no longer dating, but at 23 she was already tired of her parents talking about grandchildren.

Grrrr other people just love to tell women what to do.
 
Women are not funny stand-up comedians and I think most guys who try so hard to throw one in their Favorites lists are doing so out of pressure.
 
I'm going to disagree here. Society (at least around me in Boston) tells women to delay child bearing until they have established a career. I think it's a mistake. Having children when you are young and healthy makes the raising of them easier.
THAT SAID, pressuring kids into the decision is flat out wrong. I would advise them and explain my reasons, but it's such a life changing decision that THEY NEED TO BE BOUGHT IN NOT PRESSURED.
I disagree
As a woman who has raised kids in her teens/early twenties and then again in her late thirties, the emotional regulation and maturity I bring to the table as a fully formed adult cannot be ignored.
My children are well adjusted and have stable parents. They can navigate the complexities of life with ease. The first batch didn't get that because I was still learning how to be an adult myself.
 
My controversial opinion: I try to think kindly of people who are married, but secretly I see it as a form of socially approved prostitution. I will prepare to be massacred for this.

Without getting deep into either side (and I severely resent any other side but the two prominent sides are even considered),I feel like most Americans haven't a clue how their constitution works nor how most governmental process works. The don't understand the exact job description of their leaders. I feel like those in power are perfectly satisfied with the general ignorance. FTR none of those in power represent me, know anything about me, nor give three fucks.

Also pineapple on pizza is an abomination :p

DC should be voted "Rogue Nation Status" by all 50 states, placed under FULL SANCTION, nothing in or out, no traffic, air travel, no taxes collected, no food imports, nothing.... Let the politicians and lobbyists eat each other, then, go in, hose the slime down the sewers and reopen The Smithsonian, as it's one helluva museum! Lol

Pretty much spot on IMHO, well, maybe excluding the pineapple part... Lol
 
Cell phones should not work within the confines of an automobile.
One that's running. Once the motor stops, then it should work.
When we had a tree in front, it was used as a safe text and call zone, by everyone, including the police LOL

I was going to respond to this, but not worth it other than to say it’s not only wrong, but insulting. There’s my controversial opinion. Not that saying marriage isn’t prostitution is in any way controversial.
