I’m fine with the LGBT community but I honestly really believe transgenders should use the bathroom of their biological sex. Also, I’m sorry to say this, but transgender women shouldn’t be allowed in women’s sports. Biological men are physically stronger than biological women and it would be unfair IMO. There’s a difference between sex and gender. This is why I don’t want my kid going trans. They go through so much pain & struggle with their identity everyday. It’s even worse if they’re bi-racial. Yeah. I'm mixed as well but I'm not transgender, and to be honest, I definitely consider that a privilege. For me, I wouldn't really say that I don't want transgender kids, but I would much rather they be cisgendered. Just like how I would prefer if my kids are heterosexual because I want to have a traditional family, and having straight kids would obviously increase the chance of that happening. Now I'm about to get politically incorrect here. But if I had an only child and they said they didn't want kids, couldn't have them or came out as gay, I would be lying if I said I wouldn't be at least somewhat disappointed. That doesn't mean I hate gays though. If I wanted biological grandkids for years and found out I wasn't going to have them, then that would be a disappointment. I know they say don't expect too much, but when heterosexual people are the vast vast majority, you would just automatically think they're straight and maybe they'll find a partner to have biological kids with. There's nothing wrong with admitting this and having preferences. There's a very big difference between preferring heterosexuality and hating homosexuality.

I respect the LGBT community & all for marriage equality. But is it wrong to think marriage between a man and a woman is the most beautiful? There’s nothing sexier than a man who treats & protects his lady like a princess. There’s nothing like a lady who treats her husband like a king. Same sex marriages just don’t have the typical traditional feel. Liking traditional values isn’t bad or homophobic at all.

I'm honestly so glad I'm able to have this conversation without people getting offended lol. Like I know that even if your future kid is straight, there's still no guarantee that they'll have their own kids, but the whole point is that at least if they're straight then there's still a chance that they will find an opposite sex partner to reproduce with and keep the bloodline going. I guess you could kind of say the same with bisexuals too lol.

I can understand how you would feel a bit disappointed in that scenario, but on the other hand, I think it's best to respect the wishes of the child. Speaking as an only child myself, I have always felt as though I am under pressure to settle down and have kids so that my parents can have grandchildren. I have spoken to my Mum about it in the past and she said she would be okay if I decided not to have kids and while that is comforting to know, I still can't help but have that feeling nagging at the back of my mind.

I can't stand it when people claim that a year belongs in either the previous or the next decade. I feel that because time is linear and always moving forward, we should treat the progression of a decade the same way. This may sound weird so hear me out on this. A perfect example of this is the 2000's. 2000 and 2009 are both wildly different years but factually are part of the 2000's. I think that years which end in 9 are essentially the ultimate amalgamation of the past decade. It was a series of specific events that lead to the culture at the end of the decade. It was because of dial-up internet and Nokia cellphones that we ended the decade with smartphones and streaming. Everything evolves over time. What I'm basically saying is that 2009 is peak 2000's and more people should take into consideration the natural progression of technology/culture and how its perceived at that moment in time. Enough of my madman rambling now, none of this really matters since time is a man-made construct anyways.

Enough of my madman rambling now, none of this really matters since time is a man-made construct anyways. You have a point, but to play devil's advocate, pop culture trends don't come to a sudden halt at the turn of a decade. In a lot of cases, most of the defining trends that are popular in the final year of a decade carry over into the early years of the following decade. If Billie Eilish, Trap music and Stranger Things etc. remain just as popular in 2020 as they are this year, what is stopping the year 2020 from being referred to as the "peak 2010s" as well? Obviously no two years are 100% identical, but it wouldn't make any sense in that regard.

Obviously no two years are 100% identical, but it wouldn't make any sense in that regard. I'm aware that trends sometimes spill over into the next decade. My point was more that everything builds off of something. Also I was just saying that if someone were to analyze a decade, they should do it based on how things changed within that ten year time span. So theoretically it could be possible for 2010's trends and ideas to peak in 2020, but that peak would still be apart of the beginning of the 2020's decade. It carries over, but its still different (if that makes any sense  ).

The 2000s have the ultimate classics in Hip Hop.
Japanese anime have superior writing in terms of story than western
Recent history is lame. Ancient history is badass

Teen Titans Go isn’t bad sure it gets milked the shit out of and is forced all over the schedule. But you only hate it because it doesn’t stand up to the original, the OG will always be better but TTG is for kids CN isn’t going to give a shit about what full grown complaining teens or adults say. If you hate TTG then simply don’t watch it, it isn’t for you only for those who enjoy it and the kids. I don’t blame the writers for mocking the haters on different occasions during its currently six year run.

Hand sanitizer, soap, and air fresheners are gross to me and I don't like them.

I don't like TTG but I think it's pretty overhated, plus there are many other cartoons that are quite underhated out there and deserve more hate than TTG. At worst TTG isn't even top 20 bad for cartoons i've seen.
