Hey Pandas, What Is Your Controversial Opinion?

Here's another one to think about. Technocommunism and transhumanism. If human life is improved by technology, and, if we agree that fiat currencies are fake, and, if we acknowledge that there are no financial fundamentals underpinning cryptocurrencies, it follows that (a) commerce and capitalism is fake, and, if technology improves human lives e.g. with superpowers like knowing everything, then (b) we should implement a communist system using cryptocurrencies in which everyone has what they need (c) provided by robots, automation, etc., and (d) we should allow people limited enhancements to their biology to make their lives better, but (e) not at the cost of others or to make them superior to others. Short summary. Discuss below.

woke people are killing America

I think there should be porn sites for under 18 people. restricted to only under 18 people (access by verification system). moderated of course by above 18 people. By forbidding porn to under 18, i think we're just crafting pervs, and imbalanced dudes

I think an every-man-for-himself type government would work best. people would keep to themselves and stop complaining about taxes cus they work for themselves. Of course, there should be some ground rules like no stealing or murder, buut I think that if everyone spaces out a bit we'll all be better off.

It's time I wrote another piece: this time, a more in-depth argument against raising the minimum wage. Please no name-calling.

1: Many people claim that the minimum wage hasn't kept up with inflation. False. When President Roosevelt first instated a minimum wage in 1938, it was only 25c. This converts to about 5 dollars today. Our 7.50 minimum wage exceeded inflation.

2: Now, basic economics. Supply and demand. What happens when you meddle with supply and demand and instate price controls? Shortages or surpluses. Let's assume that, at equilibrium, the price of apples is 5$. Then the government comes along and fixes the price at 10$. Who's unhappy? The consumers, who have to buy an apple at a price too high. They start avoiding buying apples (or a black market forms), and the apple industry gets destroyed. It's the same thing with wages. Let's assume John gets paid 10$. The government comes along and forces him to get paid 15$. What happens? Does he get paid more? No, he gets fired, and he is now unemployed. You see, price controls (such as a minimum wage) hurt the very people they're trying to help.

3: Now, let's miraculously assume that John doesn't get fired. What happens? Price inflation! Now, everyone thinks, "Hey, these guys are getting paid more. Let's just raise prices, since they can afford this stuff anyways!" And, as a result, purchasing power doesn't change at all.

4: Now, it's time to debunk that productivity vs wage graph. I'm sure you've all seen it, it shows worker productivity as going up but wages as stagnating. This is misleading, mainly due to the fact that they calculated 'productivity'. Bob hammers 1 nail an hour. However, his boss comes a long and gives him some new equipment, which lets him hammer 5 nails an hour. Why isn't he getting a pay raise? He used to hammer one nail, now he hammers 5 nails! It's because he's not doing any extra work. It's the fancy equipment that is doing the work, NOT him. This is the case nationwide: there is a growing amount of automation and new innovation making workers seem more 'productive', when in reality, they're not the ones doing that work.

5: Chicago raised minimum wages, and unemployment rose. Their unemployment rate rose 1 percent, even as national unemployment fell .5%.

6: Don't pretend that the entire country is slaving away working the minimum wage. This is far from true. In 2009, 5% of people worked the minimum wage. Now, only 1 percent of workers work the minimum wage. Few people are working the minimum wage than you think. People making at or below the minimum wage is 2.3 percent of all hourly-paid workers. This is information from the BLS, by the way.

These are mainly why I oppose raising the minimum wage. Again, civil discussion is welcome. I used statistics here, so don't hesitate to ask for a source.

Kate McKinnon isn't the least bit funny. She is trying to out-Molly, out-Kristen and out-Maya some of the funniest women to be on SNL. She's over the top and tries to chew up the scenery. She's. Just. Not. Funny.

Getting a COVID vaccine should be a choice.

Organized, declared war is the best solution to over-population. Far better than Famine, drought, disease, or deadly rioting. Rather die on a battlefield, armed to fight back, with a chance to live, knowing my family is safe, then watching us all take our chance starving to death, in a hospital, or worse in random unorganized violence.

Jesus Christ loves us... A relationship with Him is not imaginary, when you acknowledge Him and spend time with Him in prayer, He transforms your life... He puts an end to depression, confusion and shame.

Alright.. I'm gonna get shredded for this.. but.... the Biden Administration is a joke and a bunch of BS. Lets go Brandon!! #FJB

Oh, I've got a few and I'm going to be freaking destroyed, but let's go!

1) severe obesity is not beautiful. It is a serious problem, and people shouldn't be told they're beautiful just the way they are just to make them feel better.

2) There is nothing wrong with looks being a main part of how you choose a mate. After all, that's almost always what gets your attention in the first place. Most of the animal kingdom does it that way and for the most part, they're fine if you ignore how humans have messed them up.

3) Trump didn't do anything terrible. Did he make some bad choices, sure, everyone that's president does. But he didn't do anything horrible terrible.
