What’s your most controversial opinion?

It is irritating to buy a new shopping bag when I forget mine at home. The bag was manufactured in a sweat shop burning oil and coal and shipped by a poorly maintained cargo ship across the ocean; doesn't that negate the environmental benefit of using a reusable bag? Wait! Let me finish.

Rich countries make the changes that poor countries can't. Reducing the amount of disposable plastic we use has a similar effect to all of us switching to electric vehicles over the next 20 years. New technology is expensive until it becomes widely used and then it gets cheaper. Solar panels are a good example of this. The expense and seeming hypocrisy of the reusable bags Canadians are now forced to use is actually a way to help poorer countries reduce their dependency on fossil fuels and their negative environmental impact.

It's not a perfect plan and there are many other ways to make changes but humanity is a huge ship and it takes a long time for it to change course.

TL;DR
It might seem like reusable bags and paper straws are stupid small rules but they have a large ripple effect in the world. I still despise paper straws.
 
People who post in the Battle of the Sexes thread are just further promoting a very unproductive US Vs Them antagonistic relationship between two groups of people that should be moving closer to each other (and touching each other's naughty bits much more frequently) instead of separating further apart. We should all come together to battle against our true enemy....Alien lizard people living hidden amongst us, hell-bent on conquering Earth and enslaving all humankind. Oh, and Nickelback. Fuck Nickelback.
 
That's a huge compliment, thank you. I need to have this as my official entrance music.
I just want to point out that this NRJ guy has somehow cheated his way into owning the 100,000 post position in the Sex & Shenanigans thread. I don't know who he slept with to make that happen, but I'm calling bullshit!

Wait say whaaaaaaaat? I was supposed to sleep with somebody? I won something? What's happening?

Wait?!? He stole it from me?!? That sunnova…..
 
1. I'm responsible for my own physical mental financial well-being.
2. I owe a responsibility to close family members who struggle.
3 I can help neighbors and communities.

I put the numbers deliberately in order of importance. Okay enough from me
