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

Rap is not music. Come to think of it, almost nothing created since about 1994 is music.

And no, it's not just because I'm now old.

@ActualCannibalShiaLeBeouf ignoring the red flag of a username let's keep this light. She clearly wasn't talking about disabled people. They have never been part of national service.

you would like to see my severally disabled son sent off somewhere where he won't be cared for and forced to do things he can't actually do? Wow. You're nice.

I'm sure they weren't including disabled people, in fairness.

It doesn't matter which way round the toilet roll is on the holder as long as there is toilet roll

Baked beans* before cheese on a jacket potato

*Baked beans must be Heinz

There’s absolutely no problem with authoritative parenting and gasp spanking. Many kids would be vastly better off if their parents did this.

ClairemacL · 21/05/2024 14:55

Hahaha all the likes on my post already. Maybe it’s not such an unpopular opinion. 😂

She said absolutely no exceptions though.
I agree national service is a terrible idea.

Babies and toddlers should not be in trousers with a waistband. Dungarees are far more comfortable and allow for freedom of movement without the need for children to keep hitching them up.
And as for jeans and trainers!!!

BeMoreEfficient · 21/05/2024 14:57

@DimplesToadfoot I’m with you on the baked beans, but the toilet paper?
Come on, it has to be out. Underneath = it looks all wrong and is less easy to get hold of.

No man has ever menstruated or given birth.

My unpopular opinion - none of these are unpopular. They're all pretty standard mainstream opinions that get recycled on a regular basis.

This made me actually gasp 😂

Ooo controversial but I certainly can agree it was better for kids and teenagers. I do love Google though. I can find out every random ponder I've ever had.

Gravy is awful and ruins a meal. It just makes everything taste of gravy.

Gin is horrible

Some babies and some children are ugly, just like some adults are ugly - this is subjective and its great we don't all find the same people attractive.

Line of Duty wasn't a a very good T.V. programme

Nah, plenty of people support assaulting children on here these days. I think it's connected to the influx of MRAs.

Luckily it won't become socially acceptable again because the long-term research has been done, the evidence is in, and it's undisputed that it's a shitty technique associated with all negative outcomes and that its practitioners tend towards lower intelligence. But this is an unpopular opinion thread.

Trans women are men
Piercing a child's ears is child abuse
Being fat is a choice (excluding disability / medication)
The NHS shouldn't be treated as a scared cow
NT kids should be capable of sitting at a dinner table without a screen (especially in restaurants)

My unpopular opinion is: Love Island is shit.
Ive never watched it, but the concept: the shallowness, the manipulation, exploitation? Shudder.

Agreed, and I feel the same about all reality tv

Floatinginatincan · 21/05/2024 15:06

@PossumintheHouse - The thread is the list. Search unpopular opinions threads ( there are lots). Same things on all of em..

Zimunya · 21/05/2024 15:08

@roarrfeckingroar - your post made me giggle. ("The NHS shouldn't be treated as a scared cow") I do agree that the NHS is not sacred, but it is very difficut to say that in real life, especially if you suggest that private medical care should also be considered. I am often a scared cow after those conversations!

I don't know, giving the NHS a nice calm field and some juicy grass might be just what it needs.

Gilmore Girls is shit.

There is a special place in hell for pedestrians who walk behind reversing cars.

Adults who don't like Harry Potter have no soul.
