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.

monicalewinski wind turbines scare the bejseus out of me - I thought I was the only one!

NicolaSeven · 20/11/2013 19:48

Art students.

I hate them.

TooManyButtons · 20/11/2013 19:49

Yes to evil wind turbines. They're malevolent.

gaggiagirl · 20/11/2013 19:49

Pandas are twats.

What a waste of a beast.

ohtanmybum · 20/11/2013 19:49

Tattoos as a fashion statement - ugh.
Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston - soulless, shouty sqwarkers and warblers.

I didn't realise it was possible for anyone to fancy Kyle or Clarkson. Someone will open up to a yen for Cameron or Osborne next.

I don't trust adults who buy Disney merchandise.

KittensoftPuppydog · 20/11/2013 19:49

I think Davis tennant is really irritating and ugly.
I quite like barry manilow.
I think dogs should sleep in bed with their mummies.
I think that my dog's breath smell delicious. And she gives the best kisses.

I don't think people should be banned from Mumsnet

If those MRA fuckwits come over I think we can take them - there's lots of posters banned who I really liked

I think most baby names posted on Mumsnet are utterly stupid and poncey.

I think you should be allowed personal attacks on Mumsnet - I really want to have a vent at some of the trolls

Absolutmum · 20/11/2013 19:50

I hate cyclists.
I don't understand why anyone is religious.
All sport is tedious to watch.
Pro life people should mind their own business.
I hate cartoons.

I am wincing already at these...

Pobblewhohasnotoes · 20/11/2013 19:51

People who claim to be intolerant to wheat or gluten because they've just decided.

Drivers who passed their test under the new and much more comprehensive systems are better. More often than not, these people are young drivers.

I hate that in order to live comfortably, many families have to have both parents working. Minimum wage should be set at a level where it's possible for one parent to work and the other to stay home, without it resulting in having to live on beans.

All adults should have the free option to have a full mouth of false teeth (are they veneers?) so they don't get tooth problems in the whole of their adult lives.

People who've been on JSA for extended periods (1 year +?) should periodically be given fortnight long work placements to keep their workplace confidence up and build new skills. They'll need that confidence if they're looking for work.

I'm a socialist.

My shitlist is on the 2nd page,MOG.

I'm just gonna post Tardis all over the place.

carabos · 20/11/2013 19:52

That 35 40 is way too old to have a baby.

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 19:53

I dont know what a tardis is or why its a mn thing

LeonardoAcropolis · 20/11/2013 19:53

Grammar schools should have a very tiny quota for children from private primary schools.

People who say thing like "them forriners taking all our benefits" should be made to sit an intensive, 5 week anti-bigotry course (MIL I mean you).

LaurieFairyCake · 20/11/2013 19:53

I hate Doctor Who - all of it

Only watched 5 minutes over the years of different doctors and think its dreadful

thebestlaidplans · 20/11/2013 19:54

Retired people should not be allowed in supermarkets or the Post Office at weekends.

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 19:54

ITS SNOWING AND I LOVE IT

Not sorry for shouting

MurderOfGoths · 20/11/2013 19:54

usual Yeah, it's definitely looking busy isn't it? Also, wow, how did I miss this -> Tardis

tinmug · 20/11/2013 19:55

Veganism makes some people really unwell. And not because they're "not doing it right," but because it's just really bad for them.

usualsuspect · 20/11/2013 19:55

I don't like Dr Who either.

But I like the Tardis better than this thread.
