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?

OMG - yes !

There is controversial, and there is completely bloody ridiculous.

If only more of them took a 'non whinery' approach. 😂

Owning pets is cruel.

Agree, and here you are.

I'm assuming those who are disabled or who care for disabled children would be exempt?

Ambika Mod was shit in the TV adaptation of One Day and was completely miscast. No wonder Leo Woodall's career is sky rocketing. I loved Anne Hathaway in the film (dodgy accent aside).

Degrees are definitely easier, pretty much everyone in HE will know this. But that's not the fault of the young people taking them.

I love Shawshank!

Many disabled people could do online work. Administrative stuff.

Agree but I guess they censor themselves so they don’t get cancelled? Hollywood has 3 camps, the nepo babies, the ones that only got jobs purely based on looks and very little talent and the ones that actually have talent but this is a small group.

Dogs are unsanitary and don’t belong in places where people eat or drink. Also, they can’t be compared to human babies.

Using a surrogate should be illegal.

Maternity/Paternity leave should be extended to 3 years (fully paid).

Yes, absolutely agree with this - this is common sense!

Make up has got really really boring. Even Urban Decay are shite now. Just a sea of the same shades. At least nail polish is still fun.

I agree but that’s probably cos I was raised in Africa , grew up with two dogs; Coursge and Tarzan & they were kept doors, never allowed on our seats or beds etc etc

That Lucy Letby is innocent and has been scapegoated by a failing NHS.

Caring for your OWN children is no more a job than vacuuming your own living room and comparing yourself to a cleaner or taking a bath and comparing yourself to a home help/ someone who provides personal care for someone else in an employed capacity.

calling it a ‘job’ is a piss take, so do we say that parents with ACTUAL jobs are doing 2 shifts then, one in the office then one at home when they get home and still care for their children?

That we are ruining both dogs and children by becoming slaves to their every desire.

The culture of martyrdom motherhood is not beneficial to raising balanced children, to female empowerment or to the women themselves.

Learning that the world does not revolve around you is a life skill we should all learn and every emotion does not need to be discussed.

People should have to pass psychological and financial criteria to have children. Yeah. I know. But 🤷🏼‍♀️

I'm curious as to why you feel that way?

As community service for being disabled?

Couldn’t agree more. And it is the worst kind of cruelty to prolong the life of a terminally or critically ill domestic pet because the owner can’t bear to let them die.

I really dislike dogs and can’t at all understand why anyone would want an animal in their home, climbing all over their furniture and shedding their fur everywhere, adding that inconvenience to their life of scheduled walks, can’t go out for more than x hours without a dog sitter etc. Just don’t get it. And don’t get me started on dog owners who assume everyone else likes dogs and don’t mind their animal jumping all over me and my kids.

People don't need trigger warnings on things. People are much stronger than they think they are and can cope perfectly well. Other people put trigger warnings on things are setting people up to be worried unnecessarily.

Maternity/Paternity leave should be extended to 3 years (fully paid).

Fuck me, I'd have a baby and sell it online for three years off fully paid. 🤣

Absolutely that there should be ‘levels’ when being diagnosed with autism/adhd etc
also that there has been significant over diagnosis of autism and adhd in particular and that its going to cause a lot of problems in the future
