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.

MPs are paid Chipping.

SP I agree with you! RH is a babe! It's an unpopular opinion because no one else can see past his wonky eye Hmm

I think all the idiotic fucking bigots who crawl out of the woodwork should be taken out and shot.

I note one has crept out from under its rock already.

i LOVE barry manilow.

i am stuck on season 2 of breaking bad. it's just not that good, and it feels like homework now.

nick knowles looks like he steals horses.

My kids can please themselves what time they go to bed.
I don't take 'board' of DS1 now that he is working.

The kids can eat what they want from the fridge, whenever they want.
I'm not bothered about everyone sitting and having a meal at the same time.

If DS2 doesn't want breakfast before school, well it's not my belly that's empty and he had enough options.
DS2 has GTA5 and he is 14

That people with drug addictions should be treated not as criminals, but medical patients, and their be a legislation to hold them in rehab until clean. Like some sort of sectioning. And this should be available to all.

Ev1lEdna · 20/11/2013 18:13

usualsuspect such unwarrented blasphemy what have Aldi and Lidl ever done to you? You are so mean. Sob.

And all this cat-related unkindness. Sigh.

WooWooOwl · 20/11/2013 18:13

There really should be any need for it to kick off. People are posting opinions, that's all.

They are random thoughts inside heads that are only being aired because someone asked.

Why can't everyone just respect that other people have different opinions to their own?

GobbySadcase · 20/11/2013 18:14

Actually make that 2.

The bigot klaxon must have sounded.

Titsalinabumsquash · 20/11/2013 18:14

I also don't like children, I'm awkward around them. My own I love and tolerate.

I really don't like students, I don't think it's ok to get falling down drunk every night and shag anything that moves just because your away from home at uni for the first time. Have some fucking self respect.

There, that is all from me, I'm fairly alright apart from that.

welshnat · 20/11/2013 18:14

I get irrationally annoyed if something I like becomes the new "IT" thing. I saw/heard/read it first!!

Sparklymommy · 20/11/2013 18:14

Marmite is better than jam.

GobbySadcase · 20/11/2013 18:14

Because some of them are fucking ignorant and bigoted.

WooWooOwl · 20/11/2013 18:15

Meant shouldn't!

RaspberryRuffle · 20/11/2013 18:15

Okay, a few off the top of my head...
-dark roots on blonde hair look horrible and unkempt
-agree with posters above about newborn babies and add that I have no desire to know about their bowel movements or lack thereof
-Possibly the most controversial - BLT sandwiches are shit

Bunznroses · 20/11/2013 18:15

I think the Beatles and Nirvana are totally overrated.

MardyBra · 20/11/2013 18:16

The new John Lewis ad is shite.

GobbySadcase · 20/11/2013 18:17

The 'This is my child' campaign sank without a trace because there wasn't enough £££ in it.

DiaryOfAWimpyMum · 20/11/2013 18:17

I still read 'New' magazine every week

Sparklymommy · 20/11/2013 18:17

bunzandroses I agree!!!

rwepi · 20/11/2013 18:17

That your opinioN Lobby. sorry couldn't resist. Anyway I'm off to Lidl now.....

cloggal · 20/11/2013 18:17

Yes to the new John Lewis advert being shit. Is it unpopular not to care about their new advert every Christmas?

I don't like other peoples children.

I don't always enjoy being a mum.

If someone hits my son I tell him to hit back.

YouStayClassySanDiego · 20/11/2013 18:17

WorraLiberty
"Did you mean to be so rude?" is a shit comeback and anyone who advises another MNetter to use it, should be smacked to death with a bag of wasps.

Yes, bloody yes!

Under pain of death I would sooner pull my teeth out with pliers than resort to this retort.

Oh fuck off love would do me.

Rollermum · 20/11/2013 18:18

Shock re The Beatles! Are you my sister? She thinks that.

I don't like Morrisey.

I don't believe in tectonic plates. Deal.
