Wars have been raged for many
things throughout history. Yet often times the most violent wars are verbal
ones as some nasty words are traded to back and forth over any number of the
topics. From the absolutely silly topics to a lot of topics that are rather
silly. The obvious ones would be religious and politics. If you have had an
opinion about religion or politics and voiced it, there’s a pretty good chance
that someone out there will hate you for it. There will be many who agree but
there will be many who hate. Nasty debates have been waged over the nature of
religion or politics. There have been nice, even debates, but many times, these
debates have degenerated into childish name calling and personal slurs a lot of
the time.
Here are five other potential
topics that are bound to start a war, no matter what side of the equation you
stand on. I have my views on them, we all do, but I’m not going to take a rare
stance of not being opinionated, rather just detailing the entire conflict of
the issue. Rest assure that there have been some great debates but if you ever
find yourself speaking about any of these topics, be prepared for some hatred
being thrown your way. Just a fair warning.
Gun
Control
Guns or any type of weapons have
been the sort. There have been many calling for stricter gun control laws, to
limit those who would use the guns for harm. The counter argument states that
those who are willing to use guns for harm will find a way to get their hands
on said weapons outside of the law. Both sides have valid points and there is
no easy answer to this one.
Abortion
This is a debate that can and has
gotten rather nasty. On one hand, people state that all life is life from the
moment it has been conceived. The people for abortion argue that life is not
life until it is officially born or life is not life until a certain point into
the pregnancy or life is not life when it was conceived by means of a rape.
These debates can be nasty. Also religion gets brought into the mess as well,
which is a double whammy.
Illegal
Immigration
This one has been a hot button
issue in recent times now more than ever before. Many state that this country
was founded on immigration while others argue that the law is being broken so
there should be no argument. The economy has made this one a flaming debate
even more and then we have a sub debate about jobs being stolen from legal
citizens. It is all one less mess of headaches.
Drugs
Drugs are much like gun control
in the sense that some people argue there should be stricter laws against drugs
while others argue that no matter how many laws, drugs are going to be used by
those who want them. Then there is the Marijuana debate, whether or not
prescription pain killers should be closely regulated, and just pretty much everything
else you can think of. When one thinks about it, this has as many potential
debates as both politics and religion.
The
Death Penalty.
From what constitutes as a crime,
to people completely for and against the death penalty. Also there is a section
of people who are against the death penalty, because death might be too good
for some people, they wish to see them suffer. Beyond the obvious for and
against groups, there are any number of sub groups for the death penalty and
the debate will continue to range on. Including with various forms of the death
penalty that exist, whether they are humane or inhumane.
These are five issues that will
debate a heated debate or potentially a flame role. Be prepared for anything
when discussing them.
