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?

SO you only believe that an important ongoing task to which you've committed is a job if you're paid for it, then?

So nobody who volunteers unpaid for a charity is doing an actual job - even if they volunteer full-time? I presume, if it all comes down to money by your logic, you must also believe that everybody who earns a lot of money is doing a far better or more important job than somebody on minimum wage? Even if it's a YouTube 'influencer' as opposed to somebody who works in a care home?

On average, men earn considerably more money than women, so I guess they must all do more important jobs than women do, then?

For age reasons. Nobody above state pension age should vote because they’ve had most of their life and should leave the decisions to those with longer to live. Voting age should also be reduced to at least 16 for the same reason.

Yes to this too. ^

This was the post I was thinking about when I asked my original question about bf. Is that sufficient to prove that I can read?

Yorkshire puddings are tasteless and over rated

Some ebf baby's wont take a bottle or formula if only ebf for 6 months (from experience)

There’s way too many people with ADHD now. Most people I think can tick traits on the list quite easily but it doesn’t mean they have ADHD. It’s over diagnosed or worse self-diagnosed.

There are an astonishing number of young adults lacking any kind of resilience. We can blame lockdowns etc but way too few of them actually seek any kind of help or try to better themselves.

Lots of overweight people are completely in denial about it. It’s also most likely self inflicted rather than ‘medical.’ They also don’t want to acknowledge that a lot of their health issues are because they are overweight and they’d see these issues improve if they lost weight.

All stripes of fundamentalist religion that treat women as birthing slaves, LGBT people as filthy, animals like they can’t feel pain etc, should be banned and treated like the misogynistic death cults they are, you should be on a list, like belonging to an extremist political party.

god this thread is scary. With a small minority of exceptions.

Problem is, many people under 22-23 know jack-shit about real life, politics, economics, and life in general. 16 year olds getting the vote is laughable. If anything the voting age should be raised to 21.

Reported. That's going too far.

• schools are in fact and should be childcare as well as education, wrap around care should be part of standard provision for all children, and having hours that don't match the vast majority of people's work hours is ridiculous

• people should have to move out of social housing when they can afford to rent in the private market - there are so many people

that need housing and houses that are being blocked by people who don't need them

I don't agree with the feverish advocacy for late abortions.

There's something off about (Saint) Kevin Sinfield.

I don't want to hear another word about the frigging Post Office scandal.

Nurseries aren’t ideal for children under 2.5.

Ooh I have quite a few.

1. Parents overdiagnose their kids with ADHD and then blame every shitty thing their kid does on that, expecting the world to make excuses for the child but making no effort to teach their child how to behave in the world.
2. Cliquey mums in the playground can be worse than the children.
3. Sharing your dog with your ex is weird when you hate each other. A pet isn’t worth keeping an asshole in your life, let it go.
4. Middle class kids can be the worst bullies but it’s only ever acceptable to call out the chavvy ones.
5. sometimes it IS better for your kids for you to stay in an unhappy relationship (unless violance)
6. there is no such thing as a happy blended family. There will always be resentment or deep feelings underneath somewhere.

There should be a requirement for every employer to employ a % of people from marginalised/under represented parts of the population.

• Disabled
• Women
• Over 60 (now we have to work to 70ish but no one wants to employ them)
• All ethnicities
• Non binary

Many people of all ages know Jack shit about that kind of thing. It’s not relevant to my point which is that people with less time left shouldn’t vote.

I don't think I have any truly unpopular opinions. I am somewhat left-wing, which is sometimes unpopular (we are all entitled to our own opinions, of course).

My weird opinion is that I'd never want to share a bed with anyone, even if I were married to them. I hate it. I hate having someone breathing on me and occupying my space.

All drugs should be legalised and regulated. This would lift many countries in the southern hemisphere out of poverty and stop the surge of violence in the drugs world.

No one needs more than two children.

Humans dying out is a good thing.

Anyone who votes Reform is racist and economically illiterate.

If you hurt a child, an elderly person, a disabled person, or an animal, you should be hurt in the same way.

What if none of them apply/the ones that do are rubbish? It should be the best person for the job.

But literally everyone can claim to “non-binary”

One more:

Mental health is the current back pain excuse some lazy shirkers who can’t be arsed to go to work.

That's not controversial. That's an undisputed fact!! 😉

If you don't dare post on that thread why are you talking about another poster behind their back?
