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?

The Rwanda Policy should be launched but with the small edit for each boat person that arrives, a long term unemployed brit would be sent to Rwanda.

My mind is boggling as to what this could have been!

A lot of medicine is dangerous.

Drs (not individually but as a profession) are causing a lot of problems with elderly people eg polypharmacy leading to falls or prescribing dementia medication when actually the evidence for it working is very patchy. Cognitive stimulation therapy works better.
They are also still over prescribing antibiotics leading to resistance and psych medication when actually wellbeing initiatives and talking therapies would be so much more effective.

You know it’s overrated hype, but like.

id have suet crust as much more flavour and crunch

I also can’t share a bed with anyone (apart from a cat!). I find the smell, breathing and heat of another human too much.
I’ve always made partners sleep separately. I’m now happily single!

Oh yes - and if your child is ND, it doesn’t excuse you from actually parenting them and teaching them how to behave in public.

I'm sure most people actually agree with that, so it's rather controversial to say it's "controversial".

@theunbreakablecleopatrajones this is the post I was originally referring to. Not beyond babyhood (though I see nothing wrong with breastfeeding a toddler either).

It seems that just the act of defending bf beyond 6 months is controversial in itself 🙄

Wow, well done to your daughter - I wish I'd been as fab at that age 😁

Good luck on your journey!

And many of us think non-binary isn't really a thing. You are a man or a women.

I believe that any man who is charged with any level of domestic abuse should be sent to an internment camp and that the word 'abuser' should be tattooed on his forehead.. He would be allowed to work but all of his wages, except for the modest amount required for him to live a spartan existence in the internment camp, would be given to his family to cover their living expenses. The worst offenders should also be castrated. If this was common practice women would find it much easier to leave the bastards without having to disadvantage either themselves or their children.

Medical science has done more harm than good by prolonging life without doing anything to improve the quality of life.

Non altruistic surrogacy should be illegal. I’ve seen a few gay couples with significant followers on instagram announcing their new babies recently where it’s clear it’s surrogacy and it makes me so uncomfortable with all the other comments congratulating them.

I never had this view until I had a child and I’m all for gay couples having babies - I think they should pursue adoption as the route rather than commissioning a baby.

I don’t give one shit what a child’s behavioural issues/family trauma/diagnoses/suspected issues etc etc are. If they ever put their hands on my child in order to hurt them, I will ensure my child has my blessing to punch their face in.

Will die on this particular hill.

Mine had teeth at 3 months old so I'm not sure that's the rule to go by 🤣

I like Tattle Life and think it has brought a lot of benefits in highlighting the lies and deceit that influencers use solely to generate money for themselves.

This is so odd because step families/blended families are an incredibly common set up in society. Nothing wrong with a person who becomes a single parent and then goes on to marry and have children with a new partner 🤷🏼‍♀️

Men (and women) who don't pay for their children should face harsher punishment. If it continues and they are unable to pay whilst continuing to have multiple children with other partners they should be sterilised.

Society is very quick to judge mothers with multiple children to multiple men, but my real problem is with the men who walk away from their children without a care in the world, to then procreate with more women. (My best friends ex has SEVEN children to three women and pays fuck all!) 😡

People over state pension age are much more likely to vote that people in the youngest age group. Encouraging younger people to vote would be a much healthier and fairer way to level the playing field.

If you have children, you owe it to them to stay together even if you're "not happy".

Being actively unhappy is different; of course abuse of any sort including the emotional abuse which nearly always accompanies cheating (lying, gaslighting etc) is different too.

If a parent moves a new partner into the home it should automatically place the child on the Child in Need register for a period of 3 years.

To be fair, the same should be done with abusive women and men shouldn't be embarrassed to seek help if they are being abused.

Islam is not compatible with western values

Same!!

i couldn’t disagree more.

the best person for the job should get it. Irrespective of age, sex, ethnicity etc.

Co-sleeping is dangerous. Think about it, two (or even one) fully grown adult/s in a bed with an infant makes no sense.
