Schools: we need to ban recess because they need to learn more
Also schools: kids are not sitting still as well as they used to

we wouldn't be able to

we can't even treat women the same as men.

well, we shouldn't, that's my point.

I agree

there are differences and that should be accepted and then we can go from there.

agreed

"kids don't pay attention in school, they must have a disorder"
"Or they are fucking kids and have never, in the history of the human race, sat still longer than 5 minutes and you expect them to do that for hours on end"

but unfortunately the "mainstream" message is to do just that...while promoting things that do the exact opposite

Yes, it's bullshit and I call it out when i see it.

I'm glad. I feel like many here would

I do when I can

sadly though...it's an unpopular opinion and can at times negatively affect jobs/etc

so...it has to be done in the "correct" way

not sure it's an unpopular one, it's just not a politcally correct one

thankfully i am not a politician

it's not a mainstream one

who's mainstream?

if the mainstream isn't the popular opinion is it really the mainstream?

I think it can be brought up in conversation...but in some cases...unless it is brought up in a certain way...the people you are talking to will only hear the talking points they hear on X show

some people are unreasonable, that's nothing new.

do you really have conversations with those people?

"mainstream" news has a way of making extreme views seem less extreme to people that don't spend time online/research things for themselves

I do

I don't. Not in person.

and generally we agree in the end

online all the time.

in person

it's kinda weird.

online....it never appears to get to that point

it's not necessarily something I bring up

i think people online are more interested in winning, in person there is no audience to win.

but if someone else brings up something that they heard on the news that pisses them off

if I'm familiar with the story and know a different side...I will add my input

and generally, depending on the topic, make them understand what seems to really be going on

true

people online will often not listen and just regurgitate talking points so that other people "like" what they say. In person, they can actually listen

unless that in person part happens at stuff like rally's

but...I've never gone to them

Sure.
