A couple come to mind. I made a post about how this it's a very suburban white American thing to insist every kid should have their own bedroom when that's not anything close to normal historically. This was inspired by a friend of mine who is buying a house that has two more bedrooms than people (and they're not having any more kids). Not to mention I'm old enough that I have friends who have multiple kids and everyone thinks it's just beyond the pale to force kids to share a bedroom, even if the parents can't really afford more rooms. I stand by my position, but you all seemed to really not like this one.
I also said the Falklands should go back to Argentina, because fuck Nonce Island and the whole idea of overseas colonies. It's also a military weakness for Argentina that the UK (and so by extension the US/NATO) has an island off it's a coast. OTOH, Argentina is also a settler colonial nation so it's not like they have a "right" to it either. And yeah, about 2,000 people live there now and presumably they would have to either become Argentinian or move back to the UK. So it's admittedly a mixed bag.
So what are your least popular takes? This is all in good fun so I'll remove any comments that try and make this a struggle session.
It's pretty normal to have 3 kids. 3 kids means 4 bedrooms if you want to give each kid their own room. And even in low COLA areas, a 4 bdr house is hella expensive. It requires both parents (assume both are in the picture and living together working) to work full time at jobs that make decent money. So for most working class people, the choice is either limit the number of kids you have based on the # of bedrooms you can afford (which limits you probably to 1 or maybe 2 kids at most), or have kids share rooms. Of course concerns about privacy and abuse are valid. In my ideal socialist society everyone gets a bedroom. But we're not there yet and tradeoffs have to be made till then. Should a parent take on 2 jobs and never see their kids just so each one can have a bedroom. Sorry, I know good parents who live with shame and/or bust their assess because they feel pressure to have a certain size house.

Right, 100% agree it's a fundamental right. And I definitely support children's rights, I think Americans are waaaaay too into viewing their kids as basically their property until they're 18. I guess I was thinking more about the material conditions people are living in at this moment, as opposed to how things should be.l
