It certainly does. Also quite reminiscent of certain misogynist regimes.

It's nothing to do with "choosing" that life. Don't make assumptions.

What do you propose?

I’m proposing exactly as I stated in my initial post, that’s you appears to have issue with for some strange reason, to help them in every way!

You inferred it’s not that simple, as if you’re the fountain of all knowledge so I think helping them in anyway that tehu need as individuals should cover everything.

Is that ok for an explanation? Or are you still wanting to nitpick points?

There, their and they’re might sound the same but they are different words with different meanings. And people will judge if you get it wrong.

yes unless English isn't your first language

Stag dos are far worse. Are you having a stag do?

Perhaps his "shyness" makes him have an aversion to female misbehaviour only.

How does botox migrate, curious?

Apologies, was thinking of filler and was rushing to write this comment. Though have just learnt that botox can diffuse, which is similar to migration.

Either way, I just don't think people who get botox ever end up looking great/younger. But as I said originally, each to their own!

How is it misogynist to ask people to use contraception and stop killing people smaller than them

People should not drive if they have no licence. And not drive if they have no insurance.

I'd omit the last 2 words.

It already is. This is precisely what levels 1, 2, and 3 are for.

Apparently that’s not used in the UK and the those who are level 1 like to remind people that their struggles can be equally as hard on a different day and sometimes they can cross to level 3.

Anyone who thinks Michael Jackson wasn’t a paedophile is thick, deluded, brainwashed and believed his spiel. If you think the McCanns did it you’re probably thick as well. Anyone who believes in horoscopes is thick. 9/11 conspiracy theorists - same.

I don't believe the moon landings were faked, mostly because as others have said, I think it would have been difficult to keep it secret for so long.

Here is a light-hearted one which I don't of course seriously believe, but I like to amuse myself thinking what the public reaction would be like if it were revealed as true, like a child who learns that their beloved toy was quietly replaced with a similar one when it went missing. Here goes...

The Queen actually died much earlier than we were told, possibly even before Platty Joobs (funny how she lived just long enough for that), and they picked a convenient time to announce her death, when there was not much else happening. Meanwhile, we were looking at Dame Helen Mirren, or for a cheaper version, Boris Johnson or Liz Truss in a wig. (It would have moved Boris Johnson one step closer to being World King, Prime Minister was never good enough for him!)

And a slightly less controversial one: those big Stanley cup things are gross and I hate seeing peoples (usually fillered) lips slurping away on them.

I don't have a Stanley cup but this sounds very sexist and judgemental. Funny how as soon a product becomes popular with women that society wants to ridicule it.

Do you think you aren't slurping when you're drinking from your mug?

😂

I don"t believe a clump of cells/ foetuses are people so I will continue advising my DD to use contraception yes, but if it fails, to have a guilt free abortion. Luckily she doesn't believe they are people either.

justteanbiscuits · 13/10/2026 16:45

A pet is not your child. You are not their parent.

Cats should not be allowed to roam free and kill the birds in my garden or shit in my garden. I should be allowed to keep my back door open and cats not wander in. It's not cute and funny when your cat comes home with dead birds.

You may not be able to change sex, but trans women and trans men are people are deserve to be treated well.
Oh, and no, you can't "just tell". You're lying.

People that don't respect pronouns are utter dicks.

The biggest risk to a woman and her children is not the immigrants, but to men they know / are related to. Mum's new male partner is a much greater risk than blokes in an HMO.

Danny Tommo is an idiot and him being in jail is NOT two tier policing.

If you think Covid was a hoax, go f*ck yourself. I consider you utterly evil.

I already explained. Clump of cells if early. Or a foetus.

Dogs wearing nappies. Gross.
Dogs needing pushchairs.Mad.
People who are grieving don’t have the right to cause suffering to other creatures by releasing balloons.
Having a label doesn’t allow you to behave so badly in restaurants and theatres that you ruin unlabelled people’s pleasure.
If the moon landing was faked where did the samples of moon rock came me from?

-Abortion is always wrong (not looking for a fight on that here lol)

-Sex is nice but overrated.

-I would never accept a hen night* being associated with my wedding (long since married now)

*I first encountered these as a shy 17 yr old boy (decades ago) and was genuinely deeply shocked to see how some people behave on them. My opinion of women up until that point was one of immense respect (it has never recovered since!) and it was actually traumatic to me, to witness how people can behave in the run up to their wedding, when they think no-one will find out.

Watching brides-to-be snogging man after man in pubs etc definitely left me with some kind of trauma / PTSD to the extent that, even today, I immediately feel deeply uncomfortable if I encounter a hen do. From then on there was no chance of my future fiancee having a hen do, the poor dear, but hey-ho blame the sisterhood!

Abortion is never wrong if you are a victim of rape, but you wouldn't know anything about having to get an abortion so why you're commenting on it is beyond me.

The whole mess of a comment about you being traumatised from seeing a woman you didn't know cheat on her partner is frankly embarrassing. You really remind me of my first ever boyfriend, who was a complete incel and eventually got sectioned because of it.

You have this strange, child-like mindset, and not to mention very controlling if you decided for your wife that she couldn't have a hen-do, because you seen one other woman, who you didn't know, cheat on her fiance when you were 17? Do you actually realise how ridiculous that is? Now you have less respect for women because of seeing this one incident, but don't think anything of men cheating constantly on stag do's, let alone elsewhere in life? Very consistent with your 'abortion is always wrong' mess.

You aren't 17 anymore, you are not traumatised, you just need to grow up and stop being quite so misogynistic.

I've thought of another one. We need new laws to say that all new SUVs have to be 2/3 of their current size. I was parked in a car park last week in my little car and the cars were HUGE. They aren't even "normal" SUVs anymore, they are gigantic. Totally inappropriate for our roads.
