Depends on what pages you follow.
I mainly follow engineering, automotive, meme and cat pages.
The only dangers I encounter is uncontrollable laughter at times. Fainted twice because it was so bad.
Education · Eternals · Private School · SchoolPrivate schools should be abolishedCommentary1 comment·Feb 11, 2022
Here's an idea. Make public/state schools as good as private schools, thus making private schools redundant.
Instead of worrying about who's better off, try thinking about elevating those who are struggling. Elevate, don't cut people down.
It's also worth noting that any student stuck in a classroom with bad apples will often be worse off anyway. Address classroom discipline.
A number of people that I grew up with ended up leaving school with bad grades as a result of teachers not being able to do their jobs because of bad apples ruining everyone elses chances.
Life · Politics Vaccine passports are not necessary for travelCommentary1 comment·Oct 26, 2021
(Based on current information at time of writing)
Vaccine passports are next to redundant at this point.
What does the passport say? It says that you have been vaccinated.
Great, you may say. HOWEVER, vaccinated people can still catch, carry and spread the virus.
Healthy unvaccinated people would be rejected because they don't have the passport.
Unhealthy vaccinated people would be allowed to pass.
Surely the best course of action is to TEST EVERYONE just in case someone, including the vaccinated, has the virus.
In the News · Labour Party · UK News · UK PoliticsKeir Starmer should be replaced as Labour Party leaderCommentary1 comment·Oct 2, 2021
Labour need to figure out who they are as a group, where they stand on various issues and what their policies are. If the party continues to be split so much over various issues, it may suit them best to separate from the party outright.
If they want my vote, they need to start showing some consistency when it comes to their manifestos.

The least people can do is put on something good and in good quality.

make it a subscription and allow people to opt into it if wanted. No need for these channels if we're watching one of many others via cable etc.
BLM · Culture Wars · RacismBLM is racist1 comment·Aug 21, 2021
Racism is about race, not numbers.
I am one person, but can be racist towards many.
If you can't be racist towards a majority, then the claims of White South African governments racism, by your own definition, were never accurate.
Conspiracy Theory · IlluminatiThe Illuminati are a powerful group of people conspiring to rule the worldMixed1 comment·Aug 20, 2021
IF, and that's the key word, IF they exist they would be. If thet do exist but don't conspire to rule, what's the point of existing?

If they're not real, you're seeing things.
UFOs, Unidentified Flying Objects, can include balloons, flies, aircraft, shooting stars, asteroids, baseballs etc. You can still see them, but may not always be able to tell WHAT it is exactly.
Entertainment · In the News · Video GamesE3 sucked this year (2021)For1 comment·Aug 20, 2021
Missed most of the gameplay footage unfortunately. Most of my time was spent watching a number of people on zooms calls talking about issues that are to be addressed internally, not broadcast over primetime viewing.
Israel-Palestine · Palestine · United NationsThe US and EU should recognise Palestine as a stateCommentary1 comment·Aug 20, 2021
The EU isn't a place as such and is in no position to recognise nation states. Member states OF the EU may do so as they see fit.
Eternals · SportsBoxing should be bannedAgainst1 comment·Aug 16, 2021
I have met a whole range of different people boxing at the local factory over the years. It's an important step of the process before shipping the products out to the stores. Why would anyone want to get rid of this job role?
Eternals · Gender · SexismPeriod products should be freeAgainst1 comment·Aug 16, 2021
Regardless of what it is, it is still a product that has to be produced and distributed. The cost of production and transport has to be covered by someone. You're going to be paying for it over the counter directly, via subscription or through taxation. And if not you, someone else is footing the bill.
Autocracy · Democracy · Eternals · Political Spectrum · Politics A significant advantage of a one-party state is that it avoids all the arguments that delay progress in a democratic political systemFor1 comment·Aug 16, 2021
It's a statement that is correct.
Without opposition, a governing body can push through a policy very quickly.
Example: I live on my own; without opposition, I can choose what is for tonights dinner in a mere second. Shepards pie. No delays, no arguements, no debates. Shepards pie.
In no way am I supporting a single-party state, but I am saying that without opposition, they can get away with so much more in a shorter period of time.

Pointless more than anything else.
You're going to be celebrating the childs birth, regardless of other factors.
It's a girl = celebrate with friends.
It's a boy = celebrate with friends.
