Gmos..ignorance...and chemicals

any bullshit

I find political language to be as substantial as impure wind. Shifting alliances or viewpoints simply to gain votes based on a mandate that they have little or no intention keeping, kind of sums it up for me. In nearly every industry with which I am familiar employees undergo an annual performance review and are either eligible for promotion and or a pay rise. Why should politicians be exempt from annal or end of term assessments? Of course, this might result in a government based on meritocracy, that is, people who keep their promises and implement their pledges.

Billy Cart races

"Intelligent design". Candidates running on an eliminate-abortion platform. "Trickle-down" economics (give tax breaks to the "job creators" ). People who don't believe global warming is escalated by our industrial societies.

Lack of soap?

This is a great topic, in my opinion. My two main triggers are the war in Viet Nam and marijuana. The two are tied together in time, and by one evil, vindictive man. I managed to escape Viet Nam because of marijuana. I'm reasonably sure I would not have survived since I would have been a 2nd Lt. leading an infantry platoon. Damn. That sentence still makes me a bit woozy. Marijuana, legal now in my state, would have been legal many years ago except for Nixon getting it classified as a schedule one drug, which killed research and gave marijuana a stigma and a legal status it didn't merit.

When someone tells me that I can't do something because of their religion. That is not how how religious fredom works pal.

Knowledge, or when people say they've come to it, but their "knowledge" is in fact arrived at through a really shaky process, relative to other reasonable possibilities.

Politics.... How I cannot understand why Cheeto won...I ask what did he say or promised that made you say that is my candidate...gets me mad and to use your expression that is my soapbox right now

I like soapbox people and I am a soapbox person. Stand for your beliefs and whip out your sword and armor and go to battle for the facts.

I get on mu high horse if I hear something patently false stated as absolute truth; when someone says something that is needlessly or senselessly hurtful; when someone tries to "cram something down my throat. These things gel under my skin quickly.

To begin with: Women's rights, especially to ownership of her body. That black lives do matter. That the police force needs to be demilitarized. That guns should be as regulated as cars. Single payer health care needs to come to the US, and Der Donald is a pile of horse doodoo.

I got on my soapbox here recently about the issue of prostitution. What got me riled up was casual nonempathic comments about degradation of people and statements of " fact" about the issue that oversimplified it. When I read some articles to double check my stance about the issue common assumptions were glaringly wrong, I posted one link and I don't think anyone read that

The popular notion that science and religion are natural enemies.

Definitely the anti choice people. The other one would be "I don't use birth control because God plans my children thing" the stupidity of that makes my blood boil.

People saying that religion and science are both beliefs.

Literally anything revolving miracles, practices, difference in beliefs and mother Teresa xP
Plus anything about psychology, history and science that involves religion

For profit healthcare

How Star Wars sucks. I can stand on that soap box like Lenin all day about The Last Jedi

People not understanding taxes and how contributing to the welfare of everyone raises the country as a whole. Wage theft and the wealth gap, drives me to speak out!

Parents choosing religion OVER their own children! Grrrrr!

The list of what DOESN'T make me whip out my soapbox would be much shorter.
If I say "don't get me started", you should probably run.

Easier to answer what doesN'T. Religion espec. all things Islam, anti-civil-rights (anti-gun) efforts, anti-1A (anti-speech) efforts, anti-7A (anti-jury aka "tort reform" ) efforts, denial deceit and delusion about violent crimes in our country, USA warmongering foreign policy, anti-freedom (anti cannibas) efforts, climate change denial, anti-4A (illegal warrantless spying) efforts, SJW / antifa / third wave feminists nonsense, the insane level of wealth and income inequality -- on and on and on.

Child sex abusers, and their “rights.”
