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 think people who only care about their status and how many en suites they have are really boring to spend time with.

ET (the movie) is boring and I hate it.

ET (the creature) looks like a turd.

"I don't believe in tectonic plates"
Are you a creationist too?

You shouldn't save a table in a restaurant/cafe until you have your food (shall be an outcast on MN for that one)

It's ok to start threads about holidays etc rather than thinking that perhaps it's unfair on those not able to afford one.

Can't come up with anything else-shall have a think.

I think if someone said to me "Did you mean to be so rude?"

I'd say "Well yes, are you fucking thick or something?" Grin

David Beckham is a munter and overrated footballer.

All soap operas should be cancelled.

If you act like a cunt, i'll treat you like a cunt.

Sparklymommy · 20/11/2013 18:21

Ok... Could be controversial,

I don't think "naughty" children should be rewarded with trips, treats and special treatment.

Bunznroses, I completely, 100% agree.

I hate performing children. Nativities and the like bore me to tears and I only sit through them to give the illusion that I'm a good mum.

Even talented children should only be allowed to practice their singing/acting/piano skills in front of their fawning families and/or in lessons/stage school until they reach adulthood when, if they are any good, I will happily watch them.

MurderOfGoths · 20/11/2013 18:23

Tea and coffee are vile and smell dreadful

Gileswithachainsaw · 20/11/2013 18:23

LuciusMalfoyisSmokingHot · 20/11/2013 18:24

I dont always fancy saying hello to other peoples children nor their clique parents.

Rollermum · 20/11/2013 18:24

Cloggal It makes my brain hurt that the continents fit together and that there was one lump of land above the ocean. I am not a scientist, despite that highly accurate explanation! So I decided to just deny their existence to annoy my husband I recommend this as a way if dealing with something you don't understand or scares you.

killpeppa · 20/11/2013 18:25

I believe in ghosts.

Mayo is the vilest thing ever.

Ugg boots are ridiculous and I'm bored, bored, bored of seeing them all over the place.

Chippingnortonset123 · 20/11/2013 18:26

Oops. I should have said that mps should be paid more than they are paid now. At least twice as much.
