CMV: There is nothing wrong with celebrating when someone evil dies | I think this is unambiguous if the person is actively making the world a worse place. In that case, their death makes the world a better place, and that's something to celebrate.
I can see some argument that if they've done bad things in the past, but are now just living a private life, death shouldn't be celebrated.... | 22,515 | 3,242 | 0.78 | 1,613,584,576 | changemyview |
CMV: Most Americans who oppose a national healthcare system would quickly change their tune once they benefited from it. | I used to think I was against a national healthcare system until after I got out of the army.

CEO almost fired me on the spot | So I worked at Tech Support for a big German retailer and the CEO’s laptop needed some updates on several programs (because we weren’t allowed to push that remotely on him… his rule).

Sell the things that aren't bringing value to you anymore. 5-$20 per item may not seem worth the effort but it adds up.

CMV: Getting your driver’s license at 16 should not leave you set for the next 80 years. | It is baffling and wildly irresponsible to allow people to continue driving for decades after they originally get their driver’s license with absolutely no follow-up to make sure they are aware of current roadway rules and/or physically capable of driving safely.

LPT: a marriage proposal should NOT come as a big surprise, despite what you may have seen in the movies. The topic of marriage should be thoroughly discussed well before you propose. | Lots of TV and films depict a proposal as this dramatic, surprising moment where someone finally realizes their true feelings. While it may make for good entertainment, in real life your significant other should be well aware of where the relationship is heading. | 100,340 | 2,527 | 0.89 | 1,607,898,004 | LifeProTips |
CMV: It should be illegal for huge media company's like CNN or Fox News to magnify or spread false information. | There is absolutely no point in doing so. It only makes the world worse.
