Is the #metoo movement out of control? what happened to innocent until proven guilty?

What do you think of guys who use prostitutes?
I support legal prostitution and I'm glad it's completely legal in my country. I don't judge anyone who visits a prostitute or hires an escort girl or an escort boy (those exist too :-) ). As long... Society & Politics
Do you think the transgender movement have gone too far?
I just don't understand why people get riled up over this. Somebody wants to call themselves "gender-fluid" because that's how they feel? Good for them. I have no problem with that, it doesn't... Society & Politics

Have you ever been to a nude beach?
Yes, many times. It's very unspectacular. My family owns a vacation house on the Spanish island Mallorca in the Mediterranean Sea. Close to the house, there is a really nice and long beach, where... Society & Politics

Yes. And that's not a question anymore. The science is out and very clear on the matter. The debating is over. At this point, anyone who doesn't believe in the human impact of climate change makes... Society & Politics
Who would win in a fist fight among world leaders?
