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.

That capital punishment is never acceptable and should never be acceptable under any circumstance.

Mid week weddings are always a bit shit.

Actually I think weddings are always a bit shit regardless of the day of the week. Total moneymaking racket .and they are all the same nearly no matter how hard people try and be different. The shit Bands and the cringe speeches.

The existence of private schools is an ethical disgrace.

Brexit was a massive mistake.

Marriage is a bit of a weird concept.

Dogs shouldn't be kept as pets. Very strange to keep a dog in isolation, make it bend to human rules and drag it round by its neck once a day then say it loves a walk. In fact, keeping animals as pets at all is odd.

@fuckmemytoehurts

Anyone who believes in forcible sterilisation or coercing the poor into sterilisation or abortion with fines for having too many children is an abject wrong'un, so you can comfortably discount that posters opinion on everything else.

People who revel in being bad at maths need to learn! Nobody simpers and says they are rubbish at English.

What should we do with all the dogs and cats then, let them look after themselves?

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

You can’t ban alcohol. The relationship with alcohol has to be changed.

Er what ?
Every single women is mentally physically and emotionally superior to what ?
Every other woman ? Nope that's illogical
Every other man? That's impossible males in general in any species are physically stronger than females.
I think men ( not all of course) tend to be most emotionally stable .

Men are better at repressing emotions, it might make them appear stable in the short term, quite often the bottled up emotion comes out later in weird and not so wonderful ways. Emotional stability is not gender based, it comes through self interaction around and awareness of your triggers,

Brussel sprouts are the devil's testicles (DH loves them 🤷🏼‍♀️)
Scotland should be independent and a republic.

Money doesn't make you happy, but you can be miserable in comfort.
Despite the trolls and argumentative people on MN, there are lots of lovely people here who support people in trouble.
Happy Christmas, everyone.

Eating animals and farming them is abhorrent, I don’t respect people who pay others to torture and then kill animals.

I don’t trust people who don’t like animals.

All frozen potato products taste horrible.

People who are anti-immigration tend to lack intelligence and little drive in life, so feel threatened by people who do as it highlights their own weaknesses. They’re often inverted snobs too.

People who wear shoes inside have dirty homes.

Sex should only be part of a secure, established, loving relationship.

If you don’t have ruminant animals grazing on the land you dont have top soil to grow your veggies in. You do realise that don’t you?
What shall we do with sheep and cows if we don’t eat them and what will we eat when there is no land to grown crops on.
fake food made from toxic ingredients that aren’t even food, that’s how the human race will all die out.

Exactly! Society praises the strong silent type, but that’s usually nothing more than conditioning, to not express emotions, to not express true feelings, to not cry etc. Usually starts in childhood when a fully grown adult will stand over a little crying boy and tell him to „”man up”. Also constantly walking on egg shells because this strong silence type has never been taught to express himself properly or articulate his emotions.

Ah yes, I forgot that grazing animals didn’t exist before modern farming, and nor did farming as we didn’t have any top soil, despite the planet being largely plant covered.

Bad fillers make you look ugly and cheep.

Good fillers have been known to help correct things like cleft pallets, damage from chemotherapy (in my instance) and much more.

But it's nice to know you think Im ugly. I bet you're no oil painting either.

Why are you so offended? It’s simply my opinion. That’s what this thread is about.
My personal opinion is that lip fillers looks awful and make otherwise beautiful women look ugly.
I am talking about in a cosmetic way, by the way.

A massive proportion of supposed SEN is just poor parenting. But it’s a fantastic excuse for parents to hold their hands up and say “my child has SEN so I have to let them do what they want or life is hell”

Absolutely agree with this. Or as a result of 'gentle parenting'.

Having more than 2, 3 children at a push is unethical and selfish. Not everyone who can have children, should.

You should have to sit some sort of exam/test and obtain a license at the end before you can be a dog owner.

You can't change sex. Gender is a made up concept. Gender ideology is, in the main, harmful towards women and anyone who thinks otherwise, or who coins those who know basic biological fact as the 'GC brigade' as seen on other threads are idiots who want to be seen as kind and progressive but achieve the opposite.

JKR is a wonderful human being.

As a country we are too lenient towards offenders. Parents of children/teenage offenders should also be punished or subject to sanctions alongside their feral offspring.

This is true. I wish farming were less intensive, and that there was a better balance of meat and dairy consumption so that animal welfare was prioritised, as it's better for everyone all round. But the reality is you can't support the number of people we have, at the price points that people can afford, without something having given through economies of scale.

I don't eat meat or dairy, but I'm very aware that I'm reliant on foods that require equally intensive farming practices and potentially dubious or actively abusive employment practices. Unfortunately I don't think it's possible to live a modern lifestyle now without consuming (either food or goods) where someone human or animal, hasn't been harmed somewhere in the production chain.

I've never tried it. It looks awesome in the photos

@AccidentallyWesAnderson poor parenting and the absolute stupidity of a curriculum which forces small children to sit and learn things which they can't cope with.Then amazingly enough they've got " issues"

Same here. Also the reason I don’t have a bath, you’re just sitting in dirty water IMO

Leopards don't change their spots.

All female teams can be incredibly toxic.

Get engaged, get married, have children - in that order.

If work is available people shouldn't be able to refuse to work more than 16 hpw to preserve their universal credit.

Unless you have health issues, disabilities or caring responsibilities, you can't refuse to work more than 16 hours and still get UC without being sanctioned.

When we discovered they were a good source of nutrition we began to farm them, even though we wiped out a good percentage of the forests, if we don’t use them for nutrition (which they are very good for as they provide the full quota of essential amino acids & healthy saturated fat and if grazed high in essential omega 3 ) what do you suggest we now do with them, return the land to forests and set them free to roam? By the amount of talk on mumsnet of how many more babies can I have. I should think that land will need to be made into apartment for the growing population. So what will we eat?
Fake foods with very little nutritional benefit.
