Hey Pandas, What Commonly Ridiculed Opinion Do You Think Is Not So Absurd?

That anyone can be subject to, or perpetrator of, racism.

If you discriminate against someone based on their ethnicity or skin colour then that's racism.

Puns are great! They aren’t cringy or groan worthy, they are funny. We should be allowed to admit that

Opinion I have that is frequently laughed at: Electric cars do not save the planet.
My reasoning: You're still using electricity, probably from a fossil fuel-gobbling power plant, not to mention the funky minerals and such for the high-tech batteries, etc. Unless your car runs on its own solar panels, no.

That it's bad to put pineapple on pizza. I mean, come on!! Let people eat the food that they enjoy without criticism.

Also, I think pineapple on pizza is tasty!

Pit bulls are mean.....
The truth is pit bull dogs are friendly protective and loyal.... Mine is 5yo 96 lbs and can't figure out why he no longer fits in my lap

Every household should be allowed chickens to provide food (eggs) like America did in WWII.

Thinking that it's okay to sing Christmas carols when it is nowhere near Christmas- those songs have sometimes lasted for hundreds of years, because they're great tunes. And it's okay to enjoy a song you like anytime you want.

To be Athiest or Agnostic. A lot of us get speeches about religion. We're happy.

That indigenous populations have been brutalised the world over by colonists. Whilst we understand that the present generation of descendants of those colonists did not do the brutalising, they have to admit, of sheer historical fact, that the descendants of the indigenous populations find themselves cordonned off in "Reservations" or "bantustans" or "west banks" etc., and as a result cannot fully participate in the economy of the colonial nation-state. The result is that even though no direct violence is targeted (debatable, e.g. George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Flint Michigan, etc), the current descendants of colonisers BENEFIT from having been coincidentally born white, and the descendants of indigenous tribes are oppressed coincidentally having been born into that group. So, my hot take is GIVE THEIR LAND BACK.

Coffee is gross. It’s addictive, bitter tasting, and stains your teeth.

I have few ideas of how it could realistically happen, but America needs to split up. Yeah, yeah, all that old rhetoric about a nation divided, but Conservatives and Liberals have two vastly different understandings of reality at this point. If Christo-fascists want to live in a country governed by the bible, let 'em have it. I want to see them live the reality they claim they want. So let the South rise again! Or let Texas secede. Let them establish Trumpistania or the Jesus States of America there. They can even build a wall around it. As long as they leave the rest of us alone and keep their religion to themselves.

The word 'religion' and 'faith' do not mean 'Christianity', and atheists need to understand that most, in my experience. Some of us are Pagan. Some of us are Muslim. Some of us are Jewish. And you're just another kind of proselytizing Christian if you're an Atheist that says stuff like 'all religions are dumb' when you've only ever known Christianity because you're an ex-Christian, and so you think that's what 'religion' is. Like do you hear yourself? It's two sides of the same Christianity-centric coin. Take a religion class. Heck, take a folklore class. Dismantle your cultural Christianity before you hurt somebody.

That gender-neutral pronouns should be the default in most contexts because a person should be allowed to keep their gender private if they want to.

That it's kind of ableist to make fun of people for being unintelligent.

People like to laugh at the idea of being on lockdown in their houses and not leaving (in 2020) but I like it!

I wanted to continue with it but I wasn't allowed 😏

I even got to work on my de-tan!

I live in Washington State, about 100 miles from the Canadian border, in a rural community. So, as you can probably guess, I believe in the existence of Sasquatch. Never had the privilege of seeing one, despite hiking for miles in very remote areas, but I've met people who claim to have seen one.

1 marriage and a few proposals I discovered I’m allergic to captivity! My life, my rules.

Albert Einstein is one of the most famous violinists of all time. He was both famous and a violinist, though his fame was not related to his violin playing.

Aliens probably exist, it would be really weird if the entire rest of the universe or multiple universes apart from one small planet was completely empty. They might not look anything like humans or anything from earth though, maybe we wouldn’t even recognise them as animals

Again from a Canadian lefty; the PAX AMERICANA better than the alternative of a bunch of second-tier powers playing RISK with the globe.
