NC (not for this) but I'm long-standing MNer (Pom bear, naice ham...)

This might ruin the whole concept of AIBU but sometimes people pop up with opinions that I am shocked by, not because of what they are but just because they are so marginal. (SPs Cliff Richard obsession, for example?)

So, whilst encouraging you all to go forth and spread your weird and wonderful thoughts all over AIBU and elsewhere, what really unpopular opinions do you hold?

I have a couple of corkers, first one is that Kanye West however much of a knob he is actually is a genius.

I am of the opinion that Johnny Depp is creepily unattractive.

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 17:47

not an obsession

Russell Howard is attractive! It seems other people have no taste. Grin

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 17:48

Sassy I agree. He is terrifying as is Benedict Cumber-WhatsIt

mrsWast · 20/11/2013 17:48

swimming with dolphins is inherently weird and i don't understand why anyone would want to do it.

OvaryAction · 20/11/2013 17:48

I don't like cheese.

In fact I hate it. And milk.

The way they coat your tongue and teeth

DawnOfTheDee · 20/11/2013 17:50

I'm with you mrsWast. I think they look smug.

halfwildlingwoman · 20/11/2013 17:51

I think dogs should live outside....

ChicksyBurtVonnugget · 20/11/2013 17:51

When there was a thread in baby names debating the name Jupiter, I just thought, cool, I know an awesome one.
In fact I am of the opinion that it's ok to like and use slightly off the wall names. (Ducks for cover)

Geillis · 20/11/2013 17:53

I don't like kids. There. I've said it. Mine are ok though.

WallyBantersJunkBox · 20/11/2013 17:55

Cats on surfaces other than the floor....disgusting. Makes me dry heave.

YouStayClassySanDiego · 20/11/2013 17:56

I do not meal plan and embrace frozen food.

CoffeeTea103 · 20/11/2013 17:56

Hate catsConfused

hermioneweasley · 20/11/2013 17:57

Junkies and other unfit parents should be sterilised.

MrsBennetsEldest · 20/11/2013 17:58

Gellis I'm with you on that one. Mine are great.

Fleta · 20/11/2013 17:58

I cannot bear cats. At all.

I believe in ghosts

Soldierskittle · 20/11/2013 17:58

That it's possible to over think babies / children

wannabedomesticgoddess · 20/11/2013 17:59

I think dogs should live outside....

I agree. And mine does.

welshnat · 20/11/2013 18:01

Another one that agrees with you Gellis. I hate all kids/teenagers/students -except my own perfect ds Grin

WooWooOwl · 20/11/2013 18:01

Child tax credits should be scrapped and people should pay for their own children.

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 18:02

I let my son have free range of the kitchen. Nothing is forbidden apart alcohol and cigs til he is at least 5

Grin

he can also go where ever he wants in the house too

MrsDrRanj · 20/11/2013 18:02

hermione

I used to be a cocaine addict, my life was a complete mess. I am now completely clean and have an amazing DS and if I do say so myself I'm a great mum. But you think I never should have got the chance?

usualsuspect · 20/11/2013 18:03

Aldi and Lidl are crap.

PMDD · 20/11/2013 18:03

That for most children, it is better for a parent (doesn't have to be mum) to be at home to raise them, drop them off at school, pick up from school, be there in the holidays. All the way up till they are well into their teens.

usualsuspect · 20/11/2013 18:03

This thread will kick off.

crimsonwitch · 20/11/2013 18:04

I think newborn babies are incredibly boring and ugly.
