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?

that depends where you live, i’m in london and one beds have the least waiting time of all properties

Most women "fail" breastfeeding because they can't be bothered to feed every 2 hours, 24 hours a day, weeks on end. It's the most physically and mentally gruelling activity a human could go through. Most mums decide to sleep when they get too tired and then blame it on low supply. You can't establish a supply if you're not awake and feeding around the clock.

The ability to follow a vegetarian diet is genetic and hormonal and vegans are delusional in their self-righteousness.
Not to mention some of them suddenly discover at menopause they need meat too...

People who have “gender disappointment” need to grow up now they’re parents.

Yes, all that is true, I don't think very many previously domesticated dogs would live beyond a few months in the wild. Humans and dogs have had a bond for several thousand years because it's mutually beneficial. I don't believe that dogs are the losers in the relationship, they have a much more comfortable life in a loving home than living in a pack in the wild.

Wealth taxes are notoriously difficult to implement, to the extent that that rarely raise much money. France have scrapped theirs, for example because it actually cost them money due to capital flight.

I'd rather my tax money goes to infertile couples than paying for transwomen to have boob jobs and laser / hair removal on the nhs

Maybe every 3 years

Pasta - what's the point?

also, cheese

That Margaret Thatcher was one of the best Prime Ministers we've ever had.

Pretty much yes to all that, except the senior school thing. 9am to 5pm is too long a day IMO. 9 til 3 is long enough IMO.

I see no need to watch or listen to the news.

Depends on the woman I guess.
Margaret Thatcher liked a war.

I don't have any opinion on your disability, this thread is for unpopular opinions, not for speculating on things you hold no opinion on.

I don't think IVF should be available on the NHS, that's the end of it.

Every other year would be OK. Every year is too often!

I also think MOTs on cars should be every 2 years too. No need for them to be every year IMO.

All males should be electronically tagged and placed under a 6pm-7am curfew when they reach the age of 11.

• The boatloads of young men who land on our shores are not all refugees “fleeing war and persecution.” The vast majority are economic migrants posing as refugees, others are rootless drifters or even criminals.
• Mass immigration is not always, automatically a good thing. Some immigrants really do enrich a country (T S Eliot and Henry James were immigrants, after all). Others do not.
• Some people should be discouraged from having children. It is ridiculous that we allow violent, ignorant, abusive people, whose children have had to be taken into care, to have even more. Society pays a terrible price when vicious, feral people have children. In general they raise them to be vicious and feral like themselves. We stop abusive people from keeping animals (quite rightly), yet we allow them to have and raise children. Madness.

What are the statistics on women murdering their male partners through abuse?

😱

edited to add: 😱

Gets them more ready for working life & helps more with childcare for parents is my reasoning on that one

I don't really think most people over 80 should be driving at all.

All people should pay SOMETHING towards their prescriptions and the money put back into NHS. The amount of people who actually pay the £9.90 charge is tiny. And being over 60 shouldn’t entitle ALL people to free prescriptions.

Religion was a way to keep the masses in check. It has no more relevance to the modern world that those choosing to worship Zeus. The "spiritual leaders" who believe they are interpreting "gods" law are no better than the charlatans who pretend they can talk to the dead.

It's always when they're having a boy too. People don't have gender disappointment when it's a girl. (Not in the Western world anyway.)

Fairy nuff. 😃 Maybe from the age of 14-15.
