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.

@Kibble29

that Brexit has broken this country totally and we must rejoin and of course now will loose the pound.
boris and Farage should be locked up

I don't mind Brexit, sometimes you just want to see the world burn.

Post WW2 European unity was necessary.

I think the single currency was a bad idea.

I voted for Brexit. Not because I'm a mad racist, or I think we'll see any benefits for years. But because I think Europe as an idea is a busted flush.

I think it was actually a good move. Badly executed.

And I think Farage & Reform are tossers.

Religion (particularly institutionalised religion) is bogus, and I can't comprehend why so many people never question it more. And that's before we even talk about the real world impact on women, etc.

Eating animal products is cruel. If you understand what happens and choose to do it anyway, whatever, but let's not pretend there is a such thing as ethical farming.

Things like Brexit and support for Farage are fundamentally issues related to class, and unfortunately immigrants are used as a scapegoat by the right.

People who refuse to vaccinate their children are selfish idiots and should be fined.

Agree with every word.

Why?

That's a diatribe by an unthinking mind.

Break it down.

Talk about it.

But it's not a coherent worldview.

Ohh, you're spikey.

So much to work through there.

Religion

Brexit

Non-vegetarianism

Vaccination

So many conversations.

"Non-vegetarianism"? Please! If the quoted poster is vegan, vegetarians are the enemy for not shifting their cheese-tooting arse off the fence of hypocrisy and ditching dairy like a non-psychopath.

Why would you even say that?

Most people are unattractive.

You too probably.

The vast majority of people don't fall into the golden section. Eh? Not much you can do about that.

Very few people are beautiful.

Weight is not that performative when it comes to beauty. Most thin people are unattractive too.

Montreal bagels are the world’s best. Indeed, no other bread should be allowed to be called “bagel” unless it was wood-fired in Montreal. They are the Champagne of breakfast bakes.

I don't need to calm down.

I'm not excited.

I bet you're not looker.

(I'm 5' 9" and 9 stone 10 before you accuse me of being FAT btw).

I find it's women who are insecure about their own looks but have thinness on their side that say things like this.

So look at yourself lady.

Lurpak is the best butter and store own brand versions can’t hold a candle to it.

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.

Trump is a bankrupt, pussy grabbing, misogynistic, racist, lying, con man who is only in it for himself and wouldn’t piss on his voters if they were on fire.

Disagree. I’m slim and I have no insecurities about my looks or body - never have. I really like how I look. I wouldn’t if I was fat. I became almost a size 12 once and felt lumpy and gross. I was overweight by BMI standards too, most people look better at a normal weight (being fat isn’t normal no matter how much it’s been normalised in the west. Go to east Asia and you barely see any fat people).

Bollox to that.

I don't understand the love for Lurpak. It's shit cheap butter.

Why??

Kindness is not a weakness.

It’s not a strength either.

”be kind” is often a euphemism for shut up because other people’s wants and needs are more important than yours.

people cannot change sex. Gender stereotypes are responsible for a lot of the shit women (and men, to a lesser extent) have to put up with.

That being vegan or vegetarian is not in any way morally or ethically superior to being a meat eater. And that most vegans arrogantly ignore the sheer number of insects and animals killed or displaced for the production of the food they eat.

Ya!

Sure girly pops.

How tall are you?

You nearly were a size 12 & felt lumpy & gross.

You 5 feet?

No insecurities? Your little diatribe sounds completely secure.

Never have?? Almost size 12? Lumpy & gross?

That's a coherent chat.

Cool.

Don’t automatically believe everything you hear;
you don't have to show up for every argument;
don't share too much about yourself;
animals are better than people;
The world is over-populated.

Men have it easier through puberty than women - squeaky voices and the occasional inconvenient hard on versus painfully growing boobs and other body shape changes, plus starting painful, messy periods, that you’ll get to look forward to every bloody month for the next 30 years
Dogs are better than people
Everyone should read for pleasure
Liverpool FC made a deal with the devil some point in the 1960s, from which the jammy buggers continue to benefit even now

That comments about whether Die Hard is a christmas film or not are mind numbingly dull and made by people who have no actual imagination or original thoughts of their own. Who fucking cares? Either watch it or don't, it just doesn't matter.

But people who say that Die Hard is Christmas film to start arguments about it are incredibly edgy and different don'tyouknow? And their favourite Christmas song is that little-known song "Fairytale of New York"

Stay Another Day by East 17 is NOT a Christmas song. It just has snow in the music video.

Agree with PP re: gentle parenting raising brats.

Grown men on electric scooters are just plain wrong.

Not every human emotion is due to mental health problems.

Soo agree about Stay Another Day! It's about Tony Mortimer's brothers suicide!
