Re: If you could change one social norm, what would it be?

[(Anonymous)]

I can't pick just one!

Toxic masculinity and the harm it does. It isn't normal and we shouldn't act like it is.

Yards and lawns. People need to grow food and trees! If you can, if you have land...it should do more than look green and use chemicals / water. People need to eat, and always have: lawns are just not a great idea, if that's all you do with your land. Laws and "norms" that encourage this happen need to change.

College education. The idea that taking on massive debt is a good idea, and that college is or should be for everyone, aka if you're not a loser you should totally do college! This isn't working very well for a lot of people for a variety of reasons. Partly overcharging by universities, not enough good jobs for paying off the debt, and the way a degree isn't necessarily worth as much these days. People need to really think and plan and not take on debt without a good reason.

Credit cards. In my country, they're pretty normal. They shouldn't be. Have you seen the interest they charge? That's apparently one of the major ways banks make money these days...fees and interest... That's not a good, sustainable, healthy plan.

The idea that health care isn't a right. In my country, things are kinda messy with this whole "pay up or die loser" idea that only rich people really deserve the best of care, and everyone else had better fend for themselves or not get sick. (And no, I don't think Obamacare aka "buy insurance, bitch, even if there's nothing you can afford!" is a reasonable answer.

Sports. Just generally, sports. I don't like them. I don't like the asshole sports fan culture. I don't like tax money being paid in sacrifice to sports. I don't like humans being sacrificed to sports (brain injuries, sexual predators ignored, and much more). I'm sure there's a place for sports in the modern world, but I think they way they are now, in general, is pretty asinine and not a force for good in the world.

America amendment got a weird catch in some degrees, correspond with the points you provided.

Health care is one. Maybe rich people get it, but lower tier is too unapologetic to get one. Until now.

Also, sports. It is what it is. I still don't believe those 'test your limit' malarkey schtick.

Credit cards. In my country, they're pretty normal. They shouldn't be.

Why not? If it weren't for credit cards, a lot of people wouldn't have the ability to buy a lot of things, because most people get paid either every other week or once a month. They're perfectly fine if you treat them like a debit card and don't charge more than you can pay off within the month.

But then there are people who miss a payment or so, have an emergency and spend the next decade trying to dig out of debt...and not just a few people

Re: If you could change one social norm, what would it be?

Uh. Yards not being used up as mini farm land is GREAT for active kids. Not everyone lives near a park, so letting your kid run in the backyard is great for burning energy.

Re: If you could change one social norm, what would it be?

[(Anonymous)]

I did say at least part of the land. Also kids could help in the garden and actually learn as well.

TBH I don't see kids outside like when I. was a kid. It's weird (and not due to too much gardening).

Re: If you could change one social norm, what would it be?

[(Anonymous)]

I strongly agree with all of these, except the last.

It's not that I like sports, I don't. But they're a fun, entertaining thing for a huge percentage of the population, and unless it can be proved that a huge percentage of sports fans are assholes about sports, or that a truly unjustifiable and damaging amount of tax dollars are being dedicated to sports and not being recouped, it just seems like the wrong thing to try to take away from people or criticize people for enjoying.

I should have clarified taxes for school sports, especially football, which causes brain injuries in basically everyone who plays it, but especially young people.
