What are your flawed opinions, or “hot takes”
1. Foreign cars suck
2. All cars built after 2007 suck
3. Divorce laws in this country are a farce made to work almost entirely to the woman's advantage.
4. Women hold little value if you are not interested in having a family.
5. Being a stay at home mom is not the hardest job ever
6. If you didn't want to be around your kids, you shouldn't have had kids
7. There should be a test and a license before you are allowed to procreate.
8. I should not have to pay for kids you can't afford so you can continue to have more kids to get "mo' money."

Yep, I see them as controversial opinions Wink.

Mine:

X/Twitter is THE BEST platform of getting up to date current event information.

Gibson Les Paul + Marshall amp beats Stratocaster + Fender Twin Reverb everyday of the week.

Vodka is a subpar liquor compared to gin.

A properly made Big Mac can taste pretty good.

The Beatles is the best rock/popular music band in history Razz

These made me think... and I can't disagree.

The 1911 simply isn't that good anymore, and 2011's are wildly over hyped.

* peanut butter is the perfect food; morning, noon, night, later at night, later than that.

* news pukes who say 'decimate' for any incident from a broken mirror to a reduction in welfare payments (as in: family budgets were decimated by the reduction of their free shit by 2%) should be cancelled and have their children removed from the home for their own good. The word has meant a reduction of 10% for 2,500 years and google is not in charge of definitions.

* Having a gadget that counts your steps is not a worthy topic for conversation.

Yup, there would be a lot less "stop and go" traffic on interstates if they were all manual transmissions.

Led Zeppelin is the best band ever.

Records sound better than CD's or streaming.

Diet Coke tastes better than water.

Apart from those that have strongly-held religious beliefs that they may feel require it, marriage is unnecessary. The government doesn't need to be involved in your personal long-term monogamous relationship.

As a person with strongly held religious beliefs, I completely agree with this. It was important to me to get married by a pastor and take our vows in front of God and witnesses...it makes zero difference to me what the government thinks about it (yes we did get a marriage license).

Other ones for me:

1. Vehicle designs peaked in the early 2000s
2. I think increased LEGAL immigration with strict vetting, accountability, and zero-tolerance for criminal behavior would be good for our country and workforce
3. Gun grips and triggers should be curved, not straight/flat
4. Ambidextrous handgun controls suck. Making them reversible is a better solution.

It’s a straight trigger; straight is the opposite of curved, not “flat.”


To be fair, they're generally both straight and flat.

That is, traditional curved triggers tend to be curved in both dimensions: up/down and left/right. Whereas "flat" triggers tend to be not only straight up and down, but flat left to right as well (with perhaps a slight radius on the edges for comfort).
