The part everyone agrees on: the results of Eurovision 2023 were extremely controversial and everyone keeps complaining that the juries don't do their jobs properly
The unpopular opinion part: Belgium should've won. Not Sweden. Not even Finland. Also, Loreen might return when you least expect it.
Not all migrants are good for the country. Many come with views incompatble with western culture. Stuff like homophobia, transohobia, mysogyny. And they are often brought over as cheap labor, undercutting local labor.
The right to keep and bear arms is an inalienable right. We should be able to carry on all public lands, and other places open to the public.
Tattoos look bad like 90% of the time.
The government is not to be trusted.
First world countries take fundamental services and resources available to them for granted for e.g. the senior secondary education system. Citizen of a county pay the government taxes who provide you with the infrastructure and organization of professors and lecturers to help you with your education. But in developing countries like India, education of the same standard is private i.e. for profit and your education is second priority.
Even in major cities, where you would expect the education to be of the standard to propel a student to a university wherein they identify their new roles in society is abysmal.
I think student loan debt to some extent is a parallel problem. What US is trying to tackle during and after higher education is what developing countries face on the way to university.
I know that standard of education comes into play which is one of the factors because of which debt is astronomically high but I admit I don`t really know much (about the student loan debt problem).
