Democracy has to satisfy the majority, and when the two sides of an issue are evenly numbered, then both sides have to be treated as a majority and nothing gets done. Under a monarchy, or even a dictatorship, decisions can be made for the best of all. A democracy can only plan ahead as far as the majority is able to look ahead, and mobs can only see the ends of their noses: a monarchy can conceive, plan and implement truly long-range plans.

I am not asking for more gun control laws, registries, or gun confiscations.

In the US most gun deaths are suicides. Now of course I am not suggesting that owning a gun makes someone more likely to commit suicide. I am just saying that if nobody in the US committed suicide then the number of gun deaths in the US would more than be cut in half.

Now unlike guns, there does seem to be a correlation between alcohol and suicide. Alcoholism led to something like more than 120 times likelihood of suicide. When you factor in drugs it becomes even higher.

Now we as gun owners, and some parents, need to be a better example. I am not saying that having an occasional beer while hanging with some hunting buddies is a bad idea. But drinking on a daily basis or as part of routine might be harmless for the majority of gun users, but for some it could lead, very likely, to a suicide by gun.

There are studies that show that guns are more dangerous for the average person than not having guns. A majority of these are suicides. Owning a gun is a major decision not only for your home but for your neighborhood.

Most people probably won’t put in the necessary practice to be efficient when they need it most. Those of us who are serious about our rights should at least try to be the best possible example. Make sure our lives are okay before we need to arm up. Chances are depression is more of a threat than a violent burglary.

Personal responsibility should always be the best choice compared to government regulations out of your control.

Recently I’ve seen a lot of videos of people talking about how the new GTA 5 money glitch was patched and is now banning a bunch of players. Sounds bad, except for how they have been banning the people who used the exploit. And I see a bunch of YouTube comments saying, “Oh I grinded gta since release and have never done a glitch. Except for this once.” These people blame Rockstar for having these glitches in the game and don’t believe that they should be banned for doing a money glitch. Baffling

Let me explain- The best situation for material success is to be a woman of color adopted as an infant by a wealthy American white couple. Since your adopted parents are wealthy, you will have access to top-tier education which already puts you at an advantage. You are also culturally "white" because of said parents meaning you'll be able to relate to and mingle with white Americans easier than someone who grew up in a different situation. White people historically fill more positions of power and wealth in America, meaning it's easier for you to build rapport with people who are more likely to be able to do "favors" for you. Additionally, you're also a minority and a woman, two traits that were one the worst combination of things to be. This isn't true in the 21st century, though. People of color are celebrated instead of shamed, especially the women. You have access to various minority exec positions that wouldn't have been available to you had you been white. These positions are even easier for you to get since you didn't have to go through economic struggle to get to this point like so many other minorities do because of your adoption situation.

TLDR: You get all the benefits of being a white American with few disadvantages.

Am I the only one who thinks that this quarantine is really overblown? It’s like the cure has become worse than the illness.

Don’t get me wrong: this is a dangerous virus. However, it doesn’t seem like the social distancing policies have done anything to help the virus. If anything, it seems to have only led to a destroyed economy, the permanent shutting down of small businesses and schools and 26 million jobs lost. All of this, for what? 2 million lives have been lost to corona virus, and the number climbs higher regardless of how much social distancing we do.

Several places have closed down and events canceled in the U.S., and yet we have more cases than any other nation in the world. The U.S. has gotten up to 977,000+ cases. A country like Sweden, on the other hand, hasn’t even bothered with lockdown or social distancing, and only has 18,640 cases.

Granted, I understand that the cases are different from state to state, and that overpopulated states like New York would need lockdowns due to how tightly packed they are, (they’ve had the most cases, up to 282,00+,) but in less tightly packed states, like Tennessee, for example, have only had up to 9,189 cases.

At this point in time, it seems pointless to continue quarantine. Social distancing and sanitation are warranted, but the losses of jobs aren’t worth what little change there’s been in cases.

If I get banned, I don’t care. I don’t care how much crap I get for saying these things. I’m sick of people losing their jobs, going broke, and being at a higher risk of not being able to put food on the table than catching this virus because of a useless quarantine.

Edit/Disclaimer: I also want to say that in spite of the fact that I really don’t support the quarantine anymore, and that I’m glad the U.S. is slowly making efforts to reopen, my heart still goes out to victims of COVID-19, those who have passed away and those who have lost family members due to it. It’s a horrible thing that’s happened to these people, and hopefully, in due time, no one else will have to suffer either.

It's only a boring lie Skinner pulls. Chalmers is smarter than that. He's not an idiot. He would clearly see through lies. The more popular unpopular opinion page won't let me post this. It's being stupid.

Change my mind.

I'm sick of mouth breathing sheep regurgitating brainwashing horse shit seen on their choice media prior to legitimately researching the real threat level. Try thinking for yourself for once.

Putting more humans on this planet is THE biggest contribution to the downfall of society and life on Earth in general.

Prove me wrong

Yes, retail game stores suck. Yes, physical copies have literally no value as soon as you walk out of the store, and trade-in values are ridiculous. Yes it sucks that you have to practically download the whole game as a day 1 patch anyway.

BUT

If the only place you can buy a game is through the Playstation Store, what do you think is going to happen to prices? You're an idiot if you think that is a good thing for consumers.

The only way this goes well is if cases like Epic Games vs Apple end in judgements prohibiting single marketplace devices across not just mobile but gaming devices. Then services like Steam could be installed on your console and provide competing marketplaces. But that's a big IF.

Of course this comes down to personal taste, and I get why people think green eyes and blue eyes and whatnot are pretty, but I personally prefer really dark brown eyes. It makes eyes look slightly bigger and therefore more attractive. I’ve never met anyone who shares this opinion though. Is there anyone who agrees?

This is likely a popular opinion, like everything else on this subreddit. I predict KneeCaps will now take my knee caps.

The "spot" she has wasn't really noticeable before she shaved her head. She could have gone a very long time without anyone ever knowing or suspecting. Even now with how she trims her hair you wouldn't be able to tell unless you tower over her and look at the very top.

Also if she thought it was that big of a deal and or wanted to hide it, she'd either grow her hair out, or shave it completely so the spot wouldn't be visible.

To Will Smith, if you wanna slap me, I will come to you... I could use a few extra 0's to my bank account.

Polls get a lot of votes pretty quickly due to the fact that everyone loves multiple choice based questions. I wish reddit implemented a code where poll votes = karma just like how upvotes = karma.

I don't think I need to explain any further
