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.

If you have a dick, you are a man.

Even if you chop your dick off, you’re still a man.

"for centuries relishing has been used by men to control and abuse women and children."

tell me more! I need to know.

Pyjamas aren't for public spaces.

God yes.

Brussel Sprouts are disgusting no matter what fancy way you try and cook the stupid little devil bogeys!

This is what I will forever call them from now on 😂 and I like Brussel sprouts!

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 25/12/2024 07:53

Months and months of lockdown and cruelly isolating our "vectors of transmission" children should never have happened, and caused much more harm than good.

I agree with this more than anything .

IME, blended families can work (I grew up in one. We're all in our 50s/60s, and have one parent/step parent left between us.m).

IME, boys and girls should mix extensively as children and teens, in order to develop a better understanding of the opposite sex, and to give diversity and balance to their experiences. It's extremely rare to have deliberately single sex workplaces, and when it does happen accidentally it always seems to be terribly toxic.

Convicted paedophiles should not be allowed back into society.

Talking of bogeys.....oysters. Who the hell opened one of those and thought ......mmmm I must eat that.

That John Lennon never wrote a decent melody after the Beatles.

You're imagining it.

Coldandunderablanket · 25/12/2024 08:00

Ok - I would never say these out loud.....

You can't change the sex you are born with. If you feel you need to then the problem is MH and due to something else completely.

Fake eyelashes look shit

Old people are generally lovely but fuck me, the filter goes as we age and they can also be opinionated, naggy and annoying. (Or perhaps this is only my family - I'm always tolerant though).

SAHM's of older children (even though I fantasise about being one) have lives that are a bit empty and spend too much time fussing about unimportant shit.

Nope. That one’s a dirge too.

People who have botox and think it isn't obvious, are delusional. That super smooth, shiny forehead is a dead giveaway.

Convicted paedophiles should not be allowed back into society.

genuine question - what do you do with them?

prison forever? very expensive for the rest of society
house arrest with ankle tag monitoring? cheaper but not foolproof.

we have plenty of small islands. Maybe a couple could be repurposed e.g.

Religious people and church leaders are not morally superior.

Religious leaders should have no powers or influence over education or government.

for centuries religion has been used by men to control and abuse women and children.

This. Religious organisations of all denominations are absolute magnets for perverts,creeps and weirdos. Nothing is ever done because so many of the people in authority have so many nasty little secrets of their own that, if they attempt to take someone else down,will see them taken down too. So they just move them on over and over and 'pray it away'. Except it doesn't go away . It is just meted out to another group of children.

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.

I used to believe this until I read "Drawing on the right side of the brain". Now I think most people could at least be reasonably competent at drawing if they wanted to be.

If you are broke, out of shape (and unhappy about it) or still living with parents, it is not the right time to date.

The existence of a royal family entitled to privilege and adoration just because of the parents they have is revolting. People that queue for hours to wave at them are perpetuating this idea that they are better than anyone else.

A lot of degrees aren't worth the paper wasted to print out a certificate.

ReachersAbs · 25/12/2024 08:20

That people who make sweeping statements about what does and doesn’t work, or don’t believe something just because it doesn’t reflect their personal experience are probably either arrogant or not very bright - also applies to anyone who ends a post with ‘Fact’.

That we are responsible for our own emotions and responses to things and whilst it can be difficult to learn how to manage this, if we learn to do that it’s empowering, healing and makes our lives and the lives of people around us much better. (sometimes in the case of mental health challenges medication helps to start things off)

In 99% of cases, lip filler looks awful unless you enjoy looking like Donald Duck.

Playing videos, music or video calls on loudspeaker on your phone should be banned on public transport.

Tracksuit bottoms are not appropriate attire for restaurants other than fast food ones. Aimed more at my children than anyone else.

Who cares?

Don't love them.

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

Why do you have to respond to and critique everyone's contribution on here?

Don't have kids if you can't afford to feed, house, clothe them

Living with a man is very boring and I would never do it again.

Stop giving kids smartphones to "keep them safe ", it makes you sound incredibly stupid.

I once watched a programme about America, and how in one place they are kept together in a small condo where they are watched by the police and the authorities.
There’s a convicted paedophile not far from me, and a family with two small girls moved in next door to him. I felt so sorry for them, and hoped someone would let them know, so at least they had that knowledge.
