Water usage is probably my biggest. Living in a high desert, my wife and MIL see no problem with filling one side of the sink with hot soapy water to wash a few dishes because “that’s just how I’ve always done it”, to watering the grass and plants for hours. All of this makes me mental.

Hasn't it already been resolved in a whole bunch of countries? I mean, sure there's still some folks that disagree with the outcome, but you've got folks disagreeing about the earth being round as well. If that's your bar for debates not having been resolved then I agree with you, but I'd also say you're not saying anything particularly interesting, disagreeable, or controversial.

You are right. I didn't specify in my original comment but I am more referencing the polarization in the US specifically.

But everything you're saying in the other posts is pretty generic and applies to the pro and anti abortion crowd in the other countries as well.
