This is a genuine question, because one of the reasons I left Christianity (I was raised Christian) was that I didn’t like how they hate gay people, are pro-life, etc., and overall are pretty hypocritical. But as I got older, I realized there are Catholics who are pro-choice, aren’t homophobic, and don’t have an issue with having sex before marriage, etc., and basically are not stereotypical religious people at all. But I have to ask—how do they justify this? I mean, it must be very confusing, because if the Bible does say being gay is a sin and you are not homophobic and are pro-LGBTQ+, then you are basically saying sinning is okay, which goes against their very religion. How about Catholics who swear? Basically, how do liberal Christians/Catholics justify their religion? Why be religious if you aren’t going to go all in?

 

People claim that Fiji Water, Acqua Panna, Voss, Waiakea and Evian are “rich people” water because they are “expensive” but they arent that expensive at all I personally have Voss, Fiji, Waiakea volcanic water, Acqua Panna and Evian and they aren’t expensive at al.

 

In the Batman CW show and comics (and I’m going to use DC canon lore for the CW show too), Batman’s mother, Martha Wayne, whose maiden name is Kane, comes from an extremely wealthy family. The Kanes are just as wealthy as the Waynes and even own a chemical company that makes Jacob Kane (Kate’s dad) a billionaire on his own. So why would Kate join the army if her entire fucking family are billionaires?

This is not an unpopular opinion

You'd be surprised—I've seen people on Twitter and Reddit excuse criminals doing horrible things because they are poor.

there are only a few thousand billionaires in the world, even if not “famous”

Do you know what Knight Transportation is? Probably not, but it’s a trucking company worth $8 billion, and it is on the Fortune 500. Do you know who the CEO is? No, you don’t—and his net worth is not publicly disclosed. So even if they are online, unless you are really into corporations, CEO stocks, etc., I doubt you’d know.

When I worked at a country club, I saw many high-net-worth individuals of all races—Black, Hispanic, Asian—and I can tell you that you wouldn’t be able to pick them out in a lineup.

 

If you found out your cousin was a billionaire (non-famous) and the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, how would you react? Would you be mad he didn’t tell you?

 

For example, if a wealthy person only wants to socialize with and date other very wealthy people, how would they know? Like, for example, what if LeBron James or Tyler Perry only wanted to be friends with other wealthy people and wanted their kids to only date and marry people from other wealthy families? How would they know the people they meet also come from multi-millionaire families? I'm sure if a random billionaire met someone at a club or social event, they wouldn't introduce themselves by saying, "I'm X, Y, and Z, and I'm worth this much money." What if a son of a multi-millionaire wanted to date a woman who came from a wealthy family? Also, if he meets a woman, how would he know if she comes from money or not? Like I said, she wouldn't say, "I come from generation wealth" right off the bat.

 

All art is political so what is the political message of Spongebob?

In the show 9-1-1: Lone Star, Captain Don Hart is married to Blythe Raleigh Hart. Blythe’s father is very wealthy and owns a high-end whiskey distillery. Don Hart (at least according to the show) does not come from a wealthy family and is a firefighter.

Now, am I saying poor or middle-class people can never marry a wealthy person? No, obviously not. However, this is rare, and most wealthy people tend to date or marry other wealthy people. But like I said, there are exceptions.

The question still stands: why is Blythe married to a firefighter if her family is wealthy?

 

Peter Parker built functional web shooters in his elderly aunt’s basement, along with a belt with his logo on it, which is even more impressive than Tony Stark ‘building this in a cave with a bunch of scraps.’

Peter is a genius, so he could easily build an app—whether it’s a dating app, a game, or something else—and sell it. It happens all the time in the real world, so why doesn’t he just do that?

I get that being Spider-Man is a full-time thing, but if he had a lot of money, or just sold the app and invested the rest, then he could live comfortably and be Spider-Man 24/7.

I know Peter Parker is supposed to be ‘relatable,’ but he’s a genius who could easily make a lot of money—millions, maybe—and he doesn’t even really have to screw anyone over.

 

Taking fiction aside, if there were a real-life non-lethal vigilante, how would the criminals they catch legally go to prison? The vigilante broke the law to gain evidence, so all the evidence the vigilante obtained would be thrown out, and every criminal would walk. As messed up as it is, The Punisher and Dexter make sense, because the only way a vigilante can really be successful is if he just straight up kills the criminals.

business savvy

mean, it’s false to say Tyler Perry is not a good businessman. He may make shit movies, but he knows the people who like his movies don’t care and will support the slop.
