Re: Unpopular opinions you have

Here are some of mine:

1. Childfree families on LI are perfectly normal. DH & I are CF and are sick of the judgy couples who think there must be something wrong with us for opting to just not be parents. I feel society and families place pressure on married couples to procreate. The world is already overpopulated enough as it is.

2. I think drugs should just be legal. The war on drugs from the Bush administration was a dismal failure and the only reason we jail cocaine/heroin drug users is to give jail workers and criminal lawyers something to do (and as a lawyer myself that says something hahah!!). Just legalize coke like we are doing with marijuana and tax the heck out of it.

3. The 2nd Amendment of the US Constitution should just be revised and strict gun controls put in place (showing my Democrat leanings here). Too many gun nuts shooting people and every day there is a mass shooting on CNN..I am so sick of it! People clearly cant control themselves and use a gun to shoot anyone they want - just outlaw the guns period.

4. I don't get "gender reveal" parties. I think they are stupid and only reveal how narcissistic the parents-to be are.

5. I think leasing is a bad financial move for almost all except maybe 5% of drivers. A car lease is just an expensive car rental that lasts for 3 years- and for anyone who drives more than 12-15K/miles a year, a bad investment. The only winner in a lease situation is the stealership (dealership).

6. The music industry in this country has changed in ways that glorifies image over talent. It is ridiculous that up and comers like Maggie Rogers (who is basically Florence & the Machine version 2)has almost 80K YouTube subscribers while equally talented and harder working classical musicians like pianists Yuja Wang, Evgeny Kissin, only have a 1/4 of those YT subscribers or media coverage. Our local radio stations suck with constant replays of garbage pop from Rihanna and Ariana Grande- pretty girls with nice voices but no talent (all auto tune).

7. 90% of weight loss programs are gimmicks that are designed to steal your money and create false hope. Weight Watchers can only stay in business if people keep getting fatter. America needs to address the obesity epidemic and not hide behind all these "positive body image" crap that celebrates plus size women, etc. Being 50 lbs overweight is never good for your health. Putting 300lb women on the cover of Vogue magazine is not the right move. The answer to weight loss is simple- fewer calories in.

8. In line w/ # 7 above - I think vanity sizing is doing a disservice to fashion and to women all over. Thinking you are a size 4 because your Levi jeans have a "size 4" label is mis-leading and perpetuates a false illusion of being thin when a size 4 in 2018 is really a size 8 in 1992. Designers and retailers have screwed up women's sizing to the point where you have no idea whether you are a size 18 or a size 14 based on the brand. Oh and dont get me started on the horrible cold-shoulder tops and ridiculous 3/4 sleeve sweaters that stores are selling all over! Fashion has gone downhill in the past 5-10 years IMHO! And jeggings!! WTF!?

I have so many more but of course, can't think of them all at once..i will prob update this post....lol
