A hill you are prepared to die on

[xxxx01]

What is your hill you are prepared to die on.

Mine is the moon landing was fake.
Botox makes you look older.
Sex is overrated.
Some art work is not art its crap.

Anyone who thinks you shouldn't have children after 40 doesn't need to have children after 40.

Getting a place in a specialist school for your child is not a prize and you shouldn't be seen as crazy if that's not what you want.

Cheesecake is wrong. Cake and cheese should be separate.

The plural of anecdote is not data.

Coloured overlays work for your child because you and they think they will work.
Same for fish oils.
Same for cranial osteopathy.
Same for homeopathy.

If Myers Briggs, horoscopes and I Ching work for you then you I've got a bridge to sell you.

There are only 2 sexes and you can't move from one to another. I don't care what you wear as long as you don't wear your fetish gear to work.

People who have been traumatised in war should be welcomed by peaceful countries. The UK takes fewer refugees per head of population than comparable European countries (that's not a hill, it's a fact).

Screen time is not "necessary" for ND children and if your child is aggressive when asked to get off it, that is telling you they have too much time on it. Children can't socialise through online chat. They can socialise at the park or at adult-run activities.

There is a correct, formal, standard spelling for every word in the English language and that's why we have a dictionary, for clarification of what that correct spelling is.

We can't all just go around insisting that our particular regional variants of spelling and grammar are as correct and as valid as those in the dictionary, otherwise what would be the point of the dictionary? Formal written and verbal communication would descend into chaos and nothing would make any sense. We'd all be writing phonetically, like six year olds and the whole concept of correct spelling and grammar wouldn't exist at all.

If you don't understand that then I feel sorry for you.

YES! My OH's niece (18yrs) just got fired from her "dream job" working with infants/toddlers in a creche because in the brief 7 weeks of starting she had already tallied up way beyond her sick leave AND holidays had she been there long enough to qualify for them... her excuse? She was "too tired" some mornings (after doom scrolling more than likely until the early hours) so her solution was to take to her room, depressed!

😡🙄

Also in reply to @ExtraHotDoubleShot

That engulfed in your own opinion you don’t seem to understand what I’m saying. I never said non citizens get priority, my point it shouldn’t even be equal, British citizens should get first dibs at housing, jobs etc… British people should be prioritised above citizens of other countries.

Nothing to do with migrants so that’s a moot point.

Giving young children phones or tablets is shitty parenting and inexcusable.

If the moon landing was faked where did the samples of moon rock came me from?

Have you ever considered that they, too, are fake?

Agree about the dogs and the daft balloon releases, though.

I think it’s unfair,
And quite without flair,
To call out poetry’s good taste.
I would write you a rhyme,
If I had some time,
But more than a line I’d not waste.
I like to spend ages,
Reading poetry pages,
From Wordsworth to Duffy to Plath,
Being pretentious as hell,
I am sure you can tell,
That plain old Pam Ayers ain’t my path.
Now that AI can do it,
I have a pen, but no longer chew it,
As I ponder what stanzas to record,
I’ve been replaced by a bot,
My creativity is shot,
I may stoop as low as Donna Ashworth, I’m that bored!

Oh and I agree. But I do really really like Roger McGough!

Anyone who allows a child to have a device that allows access to the internet in their rooms at night is insane

It's not the "ask people to use contraception" part, it's the forced sterilisation of women suggestion .
Horrifying.

Transwomen are men.
Children should be allowed to be bored and find or make their own entertainment.
Poorly children should be kept at home, in bed not dosed up with Calpol and ibuprofen and allowed to run riot. Being unwell and uncomfortable is part of preparation for life.
Tribute bands...just no. Do something original.
Abortion is necessary.

Having seen some of the other posts. Men don't get a say on abortion. If you don't like the idea, keep your dick in your trousers.

Ummm because the kids didn't ask to be born to out of work parents? And a policy like that would literally increase the number of children in poverty?

Mine is that only selfish sad losers are happy to see children living in poverty because they are so filled with hate for adults who recieve benefits

Except you didnt 😂

In a nutshell!

Cheese and onion crisps should only be sold in green packets.
Salt and vinegar crisps should only be sold in blue packets.
Shampoo and conditioner bottles should be marked in big, bold writing.
Sprouts need to be kept in a separate dish at the other end of the table from me during Christmas dinner.

It isn't the weight loss jabs per se: it's any form of rapid weight loss, whether through dieting or illness.

Out of curiosity do you think that British citizens that haven’t contributed to the system should have priority (in said system) over let’s say a Spanish person that has lived in the UK for 10 years and have been employed and contributed to the system for 9 out of those 10 years?

Henderson's Relish is better than Worcestershire Sauce.

I've never heard of this @Bloozie but I'll keep an eye out for it now in the interest of having all the facts, thanks 😎

Disagree. Most kids nowadays are not being coddled; they’re growing up with both parents working and attending mega schools with overly rigid behaviour policies - this is the opposite of coddling.

Weight loss jabs and surgery shouldn't be free on the NHS and they are quick fixes.

Oh and the for those on here saying the moon landing isn’t real… it is.

Erm... Everest?

Agree. I am also in England, and I've never understood why so many people go to all the faff of going abroad,with all the stress that airports and flying involves, when there are perfectly lovely places in the UK to go on holiday.

It’s really not that hard to just be nice to people and assume that they are doing the best with the information and resources available to them. People do better when you give them the capacity to do better, rather than condemning them.

Football is shit. There is nothing good about 30 degree heat.
