    Also

    • The Iraq War proves we need to have a balance between pro-war and anti-war (I'm a Little Bit Country, S07E04)

    • Rainforests should not be preserved and they are the reason developing countries have shantytowns and prostitutes (?????) (Rainforest Shmainforest, S03E01). Before you say that's clearly satire, a quote from wikipedia

    Parker and his girlfriend went to Costa Rica and hated the country, and that everything Cartman says about the rainforests and Costa Rica during the episode is how he (Parker) personally feels.

    There was an episode where they praised the arrival of Starbucks, as the mom and pop coffee shops all served shit.

    Also one episode with a hippie Woodstock kinda thing where Cartman breaks the whole thing with a giant "Journey to the center of the earth" type of drill
