Do you think there is one statement we can agree on?

Have been thinking about this a lot lately. Bringing communities together in a rural area.

Everything these days seems to lead to argument. I do not think there is anything people agree on. Even things like we are all human, cause arguments.

so it got me thinking, is there one thing we can all agree on? Ever? Can it be done? Like even some Simple stuff, not highly publicised divides.

so like one go, then If next person agrees, we continue, if they don’t, they post something else we might all agree on. And see what happens?

so, this is actually hard!

I believe,

there is nothing we can agree on?

(half joking)

I believe that all poo that contains meat (I eat meat for complete disclosure) smells bad. Horse, sheep, no issue.

Is God too much of a stretch? 🤣🤣🤣

I think they agreed on ‘We all have mad parents’ in the end, but of the human variety.

Yes,

TheGirlWhoLived · 10/09/2025 21:48

I mean not all lego. Like standing on a big baseplate wouldn’t hurt at all! Particularly in socks

How about
At the end of the day it’s another day over

Have you ever smelt pig shit.

Stinks to high heaven. It is illegal to feed pigs meat or meat products.

Doesn't mean they don't eat it.
Have you ever met a pig?

Worked on a farm, outdoor bred and reared pigs.
Of course they'd eat anything dead they came across but their shit, and the shit of the pigs kept inside, smelt exactly the same.

There are too many potholes in the roads.

I think we can all agree that Trump is an unacceptable shade of orange, even tanning mom, Donatella Versace, David Dickinson and the ooompa loompas should see that he’s taken it too far!

Ha, some of these are brilliant.

potholes in the road. Absolutely yes.

Forgot about Derry girls, think that needs a rewatch.

Sorry, I don't agree.

My poo smells bad and I'm a vegetarian. 🤷‍♀️

Water is wet.

not when it’s frozen.

If not Lego, then how about sticklebricks (if they still exist).
Or 3 pin plugs left on the floor points up. No way to stand on those painlessly.

in similar vein, standing on a slug in bare feet is never a pleasant experience.

Wouldn’t it then be ice? Not water? I have no idea! But also, if you touch ice it transfers as water? Which is wet?

I thought it was so simple!
