Discussion What’s one thing (or topic) that gets you into arguments with others?

Other than the obvious topic of pro-choice, what's one thing that you end up disagreeing with people on, to the point that you just cannot help yourself? Even on this site, something that has gotten you heated or oppositional..?

What a great question, LastFlowers!

Definitely certain groups of evangelical Christians, particularly when they find an outlet to peddle their sick beliefs (Charisma Magazine on Facebook I'm talking about you..) Some of their opinions on Islam and LGBT would blow your mind..

Pretty much anything political. I disagree with probably 99.9% of people regarding opinions on politics.

IRL, it would be topics like how the world is unfair and how people can get away with treating others like shit, yet when tried to call them out, they either feign ignorance, plausible deniability, and/or try to defend their own actions (in other words, reframe it as something not as bad). Another such topic is legalizing prostitution and drugs (I don't do drugs, but Idm others doing what they want to their own bodies as long as they aren't hurting others' with their actions). In regards to prostitution, my argument would be that it does more good than harm and that existing harm will always be around whether prostitution is legal or not. But by making it legal and regulated, it can reduce the amount of crimes, problems, and possibly even reduce depression and suicide and violence by some amount. Of course, the anti-prostitution people don't agree (nor the religious ones either) as it affects their ability to influence others and exert control. There are more contentious topics I have with others, but that is just one such example.

Gender and Sex, and Money.

People who think their OPINION is fact, ie: There is no heaven or hell. Stated like there is no debate or disagreeing with their opinion because to do so would make you to be stupid and ignorant. I simply have no time for such people. Sometimes I take them to task, sometimes not, depends very much on mood.

What blows my fucking mind is the cognitive dissonance that allows people to be both LGBT and respect a religion that explicitly states they must be tortured and locked up.

Anything that suggests beauty is not objective.

The old retribution vs redemption debate, apparently everyone is Jesus Christ reincarnated...

 

[Rachel74]

Prolifers, religious nuts and liars.

To be fair, a small edit fixes their statement: "There is no evidence of an afterlife".

When someone says that a method that has been designated as peaceful by the PPH "hurts a lot"

 

[Sweet emotion]

Religion and politics. But I can get into an argument with anyone if they piss me off enough and with my short temper right now it's not very hard to do so.

 

[Intelligent_Lobster]

Transgender issues.

 

[Futility]

I get into fights about equality, freedom, capitalism, peace, love and understanding.
I feel like I'm from a different planet because people would much rather kill and take, than help and share.

 

[Wolfjob_dayjob]

Antinatalism goes to personal attacks quickly.

"I just don't understand pls educate me about misogynoir, or the minority experience ehehe I'm innocent!" Irl and online people e_e

Trans rights. and "hey cut that shit out" against horrible jokes that punch and kick down.
I'm just apathetic where I say stop and leave the room or block. Life's too short and frustrating enough! *taps watch*

 

[Fragile]

I usually have somewhat contrarian views on most topics so I avoid to get into arguments most of the time.

but one that I can't shut up about is the whole transgender athletes competing against natural born females discussion.
yes, i support them and yes, they deserve a space to compete without discrimination. but women also deserve to compete without disadvantage, there is a reason why competitive sports are divided by gender.
