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.

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.

Animals are better than people?

I hate that.

People are Animals.

Have you never seen a cat play with a rodent or amphibian? It's horrible.

I love my cats, they're not morally better creatures than me.

Sharks and alligators are quite happy to chomp people. I don't know people that would chomp a live animal.

People are clever animals, for good or bad. Ants farm, people farm...

You must have seen alpha predators in the wild? They're not very fucking sentimental.

Humans are alpha predators.

People who cheat on their partners rather than address relationship issues are cowardly.

It’s best to test sexual compatibility fairly early on in a relationship.

By the time they finish primary education, all physically and mentally able children should be able to make at least five meals from scratch.

Also;

You can share everything about yourself. It will not matter.

We're not that important.

Share everything. I think that's the one thing that differentiates us, that makes us human, communication.

Communion.

We share. That's the basic tennet of religion. Sharing. Communion.

If it was honest it would be a great thing.

So. Be honest. That's what I'd say.

It doesn't hurt..

I agree with a pp about 'Mrs'. It absolutely should not exist. I've recently married and hate when anyone refers to me as Mrs.

That tattoos do not age well on a person.

I've always been a Ms.

It's funny how people react to that.

Money doesn’t buy happiness - I’m sure this was made up by someone who employed poorly paid people.

Who cares?

Don't love them.

But why do you care about what someone else does with their body?

CandleLlama · 25/12/2024 06:27

My opinions are based on my knowledge and understanding of the subject/situation, I hope there's nothing I wouldn't potentially change my mind about as I learn more!

Controversial, but topical……

Die Hard is not a Christmas movie.

I’ll die on that hill.

Watched this with my DC this year.

We all agreed..

.. that you're wrong.

Sorry 😄

Hunting is the most ethical and environmentally friendly way of consuming food.
Boys need fathers.
Abortion is largely a tool of the patriarchy and male exploitation.

heartsinvisiblefury · 25/12/2024 06:31

Religion is a made up way of control. And does more bad than good.

I don't care, I would if my children or husband wanted to have one.

The OP doesn't ask for views we care about it asks about views that nobody will change, that is mine.

CookieMonster28 · 25/12/2024 06:34

That people shouldn't force their opinions on matters they have no experience or idea of...unless it's asked.

heartsinvisiblefury · 25/12/2024 06:35

People who can see a puppy or a kitten and not think it is adorable are just weird.

I agree money doesn’t buy happiness but it buys you choices and freedom. If you’re poor/ on benefits/dependant on NHS mental health services/on a waiting list for surgery/have disabled kids and social work have no resources to help you/stuck in a tower block in some hell-hole, having a lot of money could change all of that, having control over your life goes a long way to making you feel happier 😀

OhWhatsTheBloodyPoint · 25/12/2024 06:36

That nobody in any position of real power has the interests of the people as a priority. Seems to me there was an interlude after World War II when the NHS & Welfare State came into being (might have been because a large workforce was still needed, unlike now, but both now being dismantled bit by bit), but otherwise we are as the proverbial mushrooms - kept in the dark & fed shit. It is very sobering and I fear for what the future will bring. Having said that (and despite my handle 😂) I live in hope… Happy Christmas 🎄

BlackChunkyBoots · 25/12/2024 06:38

I'm going to have many different opinions to people here.

I think you can be an animal lover & still eat meat. I don't eat much meat now, chicken, beef, pork and some game, plus fish when I can afford it, and even then only once or twice a week. Just like humans evolved to be near the top of the tree, so chickens are stupid enough to be eaten. Oh, and I don't eat sll meat because I don't like the taste of all of it, just like my veggie DD hates courgettes.

I think the world would be a much better place if women were permitted to run it.

There is no god, nor anything that can be described as paranormal.

Being fat is not only a physical state but a mental and emotional one too. (I am fat)

Young people are too bothered by labels and tribes. Just be you, be individual, and stop subscribing to stereotypes.

The current political parties are all a waste of space. We need a revolution!

scalt · 25/12/2024 06:39

Wearing trainers without socks is great.

Months and months of lockdown and cruelly isolating our "vectors of transmission" children should never have happened, and caused much more harm than good. And deliberately frightening the pants off the public was totally immoral, even worse than lockdown.

theresabluebirdinmyheart · 25/12/2024 06:39

But anyway, my unpopular opinion that will never change is that assisted dying should be legal and available for anyone who wants it. Whether it’s physical or mental, if you don’t want to live, it’s your choice.
And I don’t see how you can be for abortion but against this.
But I’m sure many people will disagree.

Ohshutupsimonyoutwat · 25/12/2024 06:40

I have never seen a pair of pumped up lips that look good.

Shinybear · 25/12/2024 06:45

Men and women are fundamentally different (but equal in value). Boys and girls have different needs and preferences and it's not wrong to raise them differently to each other. E.g. Scouts shouldn't have allowed girls (and guides should never allow boys) - it's important for boys to have their own spaces where their specific needs can be met.

Its wrong to be vegan.

Agree.

And I’d even go as far to say that raising your children as vegan is abusive
