What’s the most controversial opinion you hold?

[NC28]

Do you want to share any opinions you have that are (or may be) seen as controversial?

Mine are probably around the severity of criminal punishment the courts should be giving out for certain crimes and what kids should do in the event of physical violence from peers. Both subjects can be quite provoking for others.

What are yours?

Not everything but a lot of things. I think tech in general - there was a thread on this very recently.

That's a true superpower there. Getting themselves pregnant. 😆

That changing your last name to a man's is anti-feminist and weak. That using the title Mrs shows you value yourself (and other women) by your marital status.

If someone is rehoming their dog because it’s aggressive or very difficult it should be put to sleep not put in a rescue centre to wait for a rare person who wants to take on a challenging dog.

Sad I know, but I genuinely believe this.

People without children in the car shouldn’t park in parent and child spaces. I don’t care if they’re only there as a courtesy, the space has been dedicated for people with children and parking there when you don’t meet that criterion (nor are you disabled) is cunty.

It’s not cheeky fuckery to ask someone if they would mind swapping seats with you as long as you are polite and don’t pressure, and would genuinely take “no” for an answer without retort.

OW are arseholes if they knew the man was in a relationship/had children. Yes, they aren’t as bad as the man. No they don’t owe you loyalty. Knowingly becoming the side piece and interfering with someone else’s relationship makes you a wanker.

Lack of sex never excuses an affair.

K so because you were useless at making breastmilk (your words) everyone else should stop breastfeeding early too, because it makes you feel weird? GTFO! 🤣 The world doesn't revolve around you and fragile ego.

And the fathers, presumably?

That pedophiles should be used for drug testing instead of animals

Fairytale of New York is shite.

The Beatles are highly overrated, and a lot of their stuff is quite shit.

LOL there'd be nothing on the TV except sport, several soaps, and the news if that happened.

I agree though. Much reality TV is dire. It's cheap to make and that's why we get so much.

Wtf? No reason for personal attacks.

I think there's a public policy debate to have - do we actually need so many children and if not, is it sensible for public money to be spent helping people to have them if we don't need them.

But you'd start a slippery slope - what else should the NHS be funding - or not.

Interesting - my experience doing degrees 25 years apart is that my second degree was much more challenging than my first (first was from a Russell Group, second wasn’t). The assessment styles were different, but that doesn’t make it easier.

Perhaps it’s all subject dependent.

My unpopular opinion about higher education is that economics is pretty much useless as a subject and most economics graduates have an ego that’s exponentially higher than their ability.

People who drive fancy cars with private number plates are making up for something lacking in their life.

Me too! I think it's quite logical for them to spend it on drugs and alcohol.

Benefits need an overhaul, income support should require the recipient to do 5 days work oer week; litter picking, gardening for the elderly, befriending, cleaning road signs. It would make for a better society/environment and reduce the number claiming. PIP should be given to those in need, but also we need to put support into getting claimants into employment.

Does go some way to explaining it though.

Thank you for replying and your honesty :) well it seems it was something your DS needed at the time and you were able to provide. Im not sure when my first true memories started 🤔 I think around 5 or 6. Such a shame we forget some lovely things from our childhood x

Other living creatures have just as much right to live on this planet as humans do.

Sabrina Carpenters new album cover is shocking . Together with her performances, she is a terrible example for young girls.

Choking during sex is not cool or edgy.

The Highland cow trend on anything from cushions to mugs to loo roll holders is naff.

.

There’s plenty of men of with kids to different women, you just wouldn’t know as they don’t look after them! So I do hope you are judging them as much.

(FYI woman with 1 child so this isn’t being personally offended)

Me too. I'd go further allocate an island in the UK to deport UK criminals to as well.

Surrogacy is wrong and if you can’t have kids that’s life- people get handed all types of crap in their life, you don’t get to play with babies lives.
