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.

travel systems are evil and babies should be in car seats all the time

I think parents who don't supervise their children on the Internet and have parental controls are neglectful - even at. 16

I think parents who let children watch movies that are not rated for them are neglectful

I think parents who allow their children to watch pornography on the Internet by not preventing it should be prosecuted

I think people who abuse pets should be actually locked up and not given suspended sentences

To think that if you have major and ongoing relationship issues you should talk to a therapist and not expect your friends to listen to you carp on endlessly. Especially when those friends are also friends with your partner.

How very dare you insult the lovely Cumberbatch?! Wink

legohouse · 20/11/2013 18:56

I think skinny women look amazing

KoalaFace · 20/11/2013 18:56

I think people who can't understand or who ignore the "lighthearted" in a thread title just want to spread around the misery Grin

Oh and The Lord of the Rings Trilogy are brilliant films but the books are like bloody torture!

gordyslovesheep · 20/11/2013 18:56

Oh I also think 'alternative' people with blue hair and tattoos and facial gubbins are really trying too hard and remind me of Rick from the young ones

That pretty much any name is ok, your baby will grow into it.
That Breast is not always best for the mother & family and should be recognised more readily (not a popular view for a healthcare professional)

And
That childhood vaccination should be compulsory until the teen boosters when the young person can play a role in deciding. I do not believe that a parent should be able to decide to vaccinate or not on behalf of their child.

I don't find Monty Python funny.

Couldn't care less if DD (3) wants to wear pink from head to toe or play with nothing but barbie dolls.

lljkk · 20/11/2013 18:58

I dont' understand what the big fuss is about 50% of supposed scandals.

For all my posting on here I am pretty sure that I am hugely less opinionated than most people.

That parents who keep their children in the state system (even if they can afford private) and are making their children miserable at the expense of their own "moral compass" are making awful decision. Yes friend. I'm looking at you.

That it says far, FAR more about the people who judge others for their appearance than the object of their scorn.

Philip Schofield is a smug and arrogant twat.

No one should sit on a jury until they're 25. And if it's discovered that they can't understand the evidence they should be sent home and banned from future jury service.

SPsWouldCatFishNev · 20/11/2013 18:59

I don't care about politics

I don't restrict TV and have it on whenever he wants.

NachoAddict · 20/11/2013 19:01

I don't like kids either.

littlemslazybones · 20/11/2013 19:02

Most men are more attractive with facial hair.

LadyBeagleEyes · 20/11/2013 19:03

What Bof and Usual said, this thread will not end well, they never do.
There's already some bigoted opinions surfacing.

tinmug · 20/11/2013 19:04

Oasis were fucking shit. Talentless ugly arseholes.

ilovesooty · 20/11/2013 19:05

Christmas is tacky commercial shite.

silverten · 20/11/2013 19:05

That keeping small furry animals or fish as pets teaches children first and foremost that animals are toys who exist for their amusement. I do not agree with keeping captive animals as pets for this reason.

VerySmallSqueak · 20/11/2013 19:05

Men's deodorants and eau de cologne's smell rank,and well groomed men in suits are unattractive. I'd rather a man smelt a bit of hard work and looked a bit grubby.

Ev1lEdna · 20/11/2013 19:06

People who think they are superior to others because they breastfeed and/or had a natural childbirth are utterly ridiculous.

monicalewinski · 20/11/2013 19:06

Agree that:

wine tastes like vinegar
Aldi & Lidl are shit
I am not interested in other people's children (only mine and my sister's)
Hate reverse snobbery as much as standard snobbery

Also:

Think people are too thin skinned sometimes
I have been known to still put my kids to the nursery even when I've had odd days off work
I like woo stuff

Mintyy · 20/11/2013 19:06

I think Mumsnet was better about 2-3 years ago and I enjoy talking to my Mumsnet Royalty mates.

Highlander · 20/11/2013 19:08

Wtf is a 'flesh tunnel'?

I cannot believe someone out there fancies Jeremy Clarkson.
