Its currently happening on this question : What do you think of President Barack Obama? trough abuse of the "I don't want to see this option".

Question askers can do this to try and influence public opinions, do not be fooled and make sure to let people know if this happens to one of your own opinions.

Post anything a asker disagree's with? Save the link and check back later to make sure this is not abused.

This needs to be fixed by the site owners ASAP as i and many others have advocated that this kind of opinion removal should not be possible. Things like no reply buttons should not be possible either.

It is almost Autumn, which means the annual Black Pete discussion has kicked off here in the Netherlands!

It will be on a large scale, lots of tears and some fights. Perhaps some people will surpass the efforts of those last year that blocked highways to stop a protest. You never know what will happen. Some exciting months in this neck of the woods!

Some context:

The annual outrage is that some say black pete should not be (fully) black and others say that black pete is black and that tradition is sacred.

44% of the population wants black pete to not be fully black with the earrings, red lips and cury hair. 50% wants it to remain black. It is mostly the elderly who are for keeping it black. Public opinion in general is changing rapidly.

So basically, are traditions subject to change? It is happening here either way, in spite of arguably the majority being against it.

Honestly, I've never really dug women in bikini bottoms. The idea of butt cheeks being exposed in public just always sort of bugged me. And it always sort of puzzled me how women in bikini bottoms is normal, but a man in a speedo is a laughing stock.

Even when I was like 5 and saw my mom in a bikini while my dad and I were in swim trunks, I was like, "Daddy, why is mommy in underwear?"

And though since then I've sort of gotten used to it, I think swim shorts look much better than bikini bottoms. In my opinion exposed butt cheeks just isn't a good look, period. Even for swimming.
