Unpopular opinion

I'll go first ...

B&M is over rated

Most of the home decor is tacky
I can get cleaning products at in the supermarket without a separate trip.
It's not super cheap like people say when you really compare the prices

Yes my DH has a 1/2 sister 30 years younger than him. FIL is confused why DH isn't making more of a brotherly relationship with her.

Is that you Rossi?

I find these "faux luxury" materials to be anything but. "Silk feel" my arse. I suppose "slimy and sweaty" wouldn't be good marketing.

Same with "faux fur" (scratchy dust collector) and diamanté (nasty rough texture, usually looks tacky).

🤣

I had mine at 40 so what would you have done? Had me sterilised at 38? Made me abort my son?
Would you enforce this globally or just here? Our birth rate is declining and Europeans are a global minority . Shouldn't we go full wacko and ensure there are equal amounts of everyone then?

People who say this sort of thing usually have zero knowledge of countries that have tried to control reproduction and the dystopian society and horrors its created that real people had to suffer

Just to move away from the eugenics talk...
Valerie by The Zutons is a far better song than the Amy Winehouse version. And I love Amy.

@Realduchymarmalade what about all the people born in less than ideal circumstances who are making a positive change in the world?
I was born to a 25 year old single mum who had come back from travelling, no money, no housing. My friend was brought up in the care system and my other friend who was born to a married man and an African mum who had just got to the UK. None of us would exist if your ridiculous and anti human rights laws existed. Yet we are here, being social workers, a job that few people want. A job that few people do unless they have lived experience of hardship during their lives.
Also if you make it that only rich married parents get to procreate, you will definitely be restricting global majority and disabled people from having children. And that is why this 'idea' is awful, sounds like something the nazis would create.

The problem with unpopular opinions threads is that they should be full of "pineapple is great on pizza" and "The Godfather part III is the best one" but they always reach the shitty lows of "yay, eugenics and assaulting children!" And always by people who are weirdly proud and self-congratulatory about it.

I'm never surprised at people going totalitarian, but you'd think at least one of them would give some idea to the practicalities. Some of the recent contributions look like what AI would come up with if you said make it Nazi but without the organisational skills.

I agree with you, if you read further unthread to my single comment on this subject you will see that I was actually arguing against the idea of controlling who can have children and when. I find the idea abhorrent.

I like pineapple on a pizza. There, I said it.

Who is whining and complaining? You sound quite barking.
It sounds as if you haven’t been able to have children yet and you are comforting yourself by over investing in some kind of savage fantasy where perfectly normal people are prohibited from having children.
Your overuse of exclamation marks and random assertions of things like “it’s a free country“ makes you sound very under–developed. Would there be a minimum standard of education and IQ in your dystopian fantasy, because if so then potentially it wouldn’t work out so well for you.

Also good on pizza:

• mango
• banana
• apple

A pizza is just hot bread and cheese, it goes with most food.

People are always happy to cede control to the government when they think the government will enforce their own beliefs on others.

But it's a lot easier to give away power than it is to get it back.

The government is far more likely to want us to have more children not less so allowing the government to decide how and when we can procreate is pretty risky unless you are happy to be turned into some sort of farmyard animal making babies on demand.

Charles Dickens' books are tedious and not worth the effort of reading them.

I agree at best watch the Beeb adaptation or the Muppets which is clearly the best Christmas carol 😀

A BF once ordered a curried fruit pizza.

It didn't taste as bad as it sounds

My aunt once has peas on a pizza. It was lovely!

The best pizza toppingvus Spaghetti bolognese. Seriously... dont knock it until you try it.

It's so good to hear the original when it pops up on t'radio or in a shop

😮

Exactly, I always think its the same kind of thing as a sandwich, just put what you like on it.

Trans women are not women.

Hopefully that’s becoming a popular opinion!
