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.

Humans exist in plague proportions.
After humans, the largest population of large mammals (apart from those bred at the discretion of humans and slaughtered on an industrial scale) is a species of seal, numbering about 6 million.
There are about 8000 million ( 8 US billion) humans.

Behave.

We're not a fucking plague.

We're people with thoughts and feelings.

Humans are funny primates.

We're very clever monkeys.

(I Know that Primates and monkeys aren't the same).

Whatever. I like monkeys. And people.

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.

Having children seems utterly miserable

Well, maybe for some. For others, it's magical. Nothing ever beats holding a beautiful newborn, or hearing your 5 year old say they love you, or your children skipping in a carefree way along the road. It's heartmelting, and brings me pure joy.

Children are already born with natures and personality traits. They are only a reflection of our parenting to a point, but mostly they are who they are.

Absolutely this. I'm adopted and have seen this with my late DB. And my two DD are absolutely 💯 very similar, even though they are 8 years apart in age. It's like having my eldest DD being aged 5 again when I see my youngest DD's personality.

We don’t have to have an opinion on everything and that’s my opinion :D

I try not to pay attention to Farage and Musk @BaubleMania but, if you look at the news, they're constantly thrust into my face. I end up taking breaks from the news.

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.

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

Definitely agree with that.

SnowFrogJelly · 25/12/2024 01:23

I'm strong agree, I don't like drinking cup of tea at people houses because of this bad habits.

People have been washing dishes in sinks of water for years and no one's died of it

Ever heard of trying to save water

That in the end, it doesn’t even matter.

Gender is a man-made concept and sex change is not possible (not theoretically, nor physically).

I would imagine over 90% of the population would agree with you there!

You can't be taught how to be good at art if you're rubbish at it. You're born with the gift or art, or not.

Pasta in all it's forms is the best food item in the world.

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.

Women are human, and in principle deserve every right and privilege that men have, and if you disagree you're a misogynist.

Why wouldn't you?

Hard agree.

That our current Christian GOD is man made to control the masses, invented largely by middle Eastern men and massively favour men.

I doubt HE would still be around if God was 'female' 🤨

I'm not sure about that.

I do believe that back in the day we had a lot of young people written off when that actually had an ND diagnosis that can now help them to be successful and productive members of society.

BUT at the same time, I do think there is a lot of 'self-diagnosis' on SM, which diminishes the struggles of people with ND.

I speak as the mother of a daughter who was permanently excluded from school at the age of six, diagnosed with autism at seven, and even after that, education was a battle.

She's now 17 and settled, and a diagnosis and therapy and understanding has been really useful.

Dickheads on SM wanging on about their undiagnosed neuro-spicy nature.

Not so much.

The vast majority of religions are centered around male godheads.

It's obvious bollox.

I'm a cultural Catholic, I love ecclesiastical architecture, art, music and the fashion and pomp.

I do not believe for one second in the idea of a male godhead.

I occasionally go to church. I find it emotionally centering, it often makes me cry. I love the idea of benign overbeing that brings humans together in worship. But I see the worship as a desire for people be better, a sense of togetherness.

Doctrine can get in the fucking bin. The actual idea of a godhead is just nonsense. The idea of men and women in the eyes of a godhead is just a way for men to control women.

The idea of an actual GOD is nonsensical, if such a being existed they'd just be an alien that had a weird sense of proprietary over humanity.

No. Sod that. I do find communal and cultural religion quite moving though.

I do think most religion is culturally based. For good or bad.

Women are mentally, physically and emotionally superior.
