For me it’s how disgusting it is to wash dishes in a sink or basin full of water. It turns my stomach a bit. The dishes have to be washed in fresh, running water.

Christmas is overrated, commercialised and stressful. The burden to be happy on one particular day of the year and spend money on pointless things is immense we would all be better off without it.

That eliminating music, of all things, from a central role in the curriculum was Michael Gove's most disastrous legacy, beating even Brexit for its destructiveness to the British people, culture and economy. I actually quite like what I see of him as a person and would like to go for a drink with him and argue the toss but it just shows how much damage a single person with some wrong-headed ideas can do if they get power.

That I am a little more intelligent than average 🙂

Most of the people who say Be Kind are absolute dick heads, Its ok not to care less and not be kind to idiots who demand it.
There is and never will be any equality.We are all out for ourselves at the end of the day. It is survival of the fittest.
The NHS is crap and needs ending
Steven Yaxley Lennon is a hero.
Politics is show business on steroids not a change for good no matter who you vote for.
Marriage should be like a contract which doesnt auto renew each year.If it doesnt work get out with no penalties, nothing should be for life.
To have kids you should take an exam,be open to financial checks and mental health assessments before you are allowed to progress to actually have one

"Steven Yaxley Lennon is a hero"

Tell me you're a racist without telling me you're racist!

Intelligence is largely inherited. No amount of museum, art gallery and library visits can change that.

What is your definition of intelligence? Visiting museums, art galleries and libraries doesn’t make someone more intelligent, rather it’s one of the millions of things you can to broaden perspective and learn new things, and that will never a bad thing

That capital punishment is wrong.
That you should never cross a picket line.
That there is no god.
That Tories are selfish.
That tattoo's look like blemishes.
That there is always hope.

I'm with you on these, at least in principle.

But then I looked at some of the vermin that Joe Biden has just let off death row, and while I'd agree that for most of them life without parole is best, there are half a dozen more that I'd have left there. The child-killers, the drug baron multiple murderers, the two who did 5 separate kidnappings for ransom, received the ransoms, then killed their hostages anyway. So in his shoes I'd have commuted 31 and left 9 on death row. I don't agree with the death sentence but I couldn't quite bring myself to do anything to help them.

Men can't be women.

The very very rich should pay more tax.

I'd love a leopard print coat but it would make me look like Bet Lynch.

Christmas should be scaled down so it's less of a big deal and just more enjoyable.

Religion causes more problems in the world than it solves.

Soap is better than shower gel.

Compulsory Sterilisation is right for some people. Thinking of the awful crimes in the news this year.

People who say money is not important have always had enough of it that they've never been truly desperate or worried sick. Not having enough money to eat for a few days would change their perspective wonderfully.

Guest100 · 25/12/2024 09:48

That people are far too worried about what everyone else is doing.

There are too many humans on the planet. There should be a strict, global one-child limit and we should ride the economic consequences of that (which I understand) in order to save the planet.

In places where a one child policy was implemented it was horrifically detrimental to girls and women, with long lasting social and economic repercussions.

that wasting power on dishwashing, hot running water going down a drain; daily showers for everyone and washing and drying bedclothes and towels incessantly; is a disgrace in terms of power consumption.

Agreed , the waste of gas / electricity to get hot water , water and soap going straight down the plug hole is nuts.
Wash things in the right order in a bowl and if necessary change the water once .
Glasses > cups > bread boards > cutlery > side plates/ saucers > utensils > plates > 'clean ' pans ( used for boiling veg / past / rice ) > dirty pans > roasting tins > pet bowl.

Questioning someone when they say they don't want a alcohol drink should be banned.
Calling someone boring or trying to persuade them to have a drink means the antagonist should be made to eat the broken glass the non drinker is allowed to hit them on the head with.

Jifmicroliquid · 25/12/2024 10:05

People should not be allowed more than 2 children.

Marriage isn’t worth the paper it’s written on.

Lip fillers make you look ugly and cheap.

CandlesOrangesRedribbon · 25/12/2024 10:07

@Kibble29 I'm with you. I don't like sink full stop or dirty sponges.

The economic repercussions would be huge for 2, 3, 4 generations. But there are too many people.

Yep.

Alcohol should be banned. Worked in emergency services last night and half the calls coming in alcohol was the catalyst.

We need to abolish the monarchy.

Your knife should be in your right hand and your fork in your left when you are eating at the table.

Left handed gadgets (with the exception of scissors) are a con.

Ever tried using standard a tin oper in your left hand ?

Wednesdaysotherchild · 25/12/2024 10:14

That eating sentient beings (i.e. meat and fish) is morally repugnant.

There is no god. Or there are no gods.

@Alphabetamega - totally agree. Can't count the number of times I've got into heated debates about this! Grin

Other people's children are boring AF to everyone except their immediate family.
