@arizonarobbins

Get out.

Bring back stop and search. Search everyone. Keep searching until people are so afraid of carrying a knife, and we stop losing so many young lives on our streets.

-all mothers should attempt breastfeeding
-dogs make houses smell
-coffee is gross

Yes @Chillisauceboss are you me?

PatricksRum · 08/10/2019 02:20

Buy a scarf, adjust your top, whatever. Whole breasts on show for prolonged periods is unacceptable in public.

Nah, why go to the hassle of a scarf to cover up food? Look away

Downunderduchess · 08/10/2019 02:45

Fake tan doesn't make you glow or look healthy, it makes you look like an oompah loompah.

Long exaggerated fake nails make the person look tacky, don't care if you are dripping in designer wear, you look skanky.

Carnivores are secretly ashamed of themselves & attack vegans because of this, hoping to divert attention from the fact they are condoning animal cruelty.

I’m one carnivore that is not ashamed

Breasts aren’t food.. the milk that comes from them is...

Vegetarians' farts are mostly inoffensive compared to the smell of putrifying flesh emitted by meat eaters.

Men are weird because they spend ages in the toilet when doing a bowel movement. What's the need for all the books and magazines in the loo and why does nobody talk about this?

OkPedro · 08/10/2019 03:21

kittynapper Me and my children are epic shitters.. we have many books in the bathroom Grin

  • The 'cry it out' sleep training method is abuse.
  • anti vaxers are the thickest people in the world.

Keeping birds as pets is cruel. They should be free to fly the whole sky not cooped up in a cage. Equally fish in tanks is cruel.

missmouse101 · 08/10/2019 05:07

Children are overrated. Couples who can't bear to do things alone are pathetic.

bringincrazyback · 08/10/2019 05:48

It is actually possible for people to spend social time together without food being involved.

gingersausage · 08/10/2019 07:00

Having an opinion on what other women do with their breasts is flat-out wrong. It’s none of anyone’s fucking business how anyone feeds their baby. Or gives birth to their baby.

emilybrontescorsett · 08/10/2019 07:40

I agree with Arizona
Elf is vile.
C sections should be more widely available.

Ant and Dec bore me. So too does Holly simpering Willoughby.

Thatsenoughjuststopit · 08/10/2019 08:07

I have enough examples of these to bore you to death.
Deep breath and here goes:
Most customers are pains in the arsed with no clue on how they come cross, they can be very unreasonable and they are not always right.
Staff are just as bad, they complain slot, have no clue on the bigger picture and could not have even running a business to realise this.
Most uni graduates don't have enough life skills to match their level of education the difference is really quite big.
People who moan about getting parking tickets etc and moan that the police should have better things to be do should learn how to follow simple rules or accept tickets it's not hard to do if you can't manage it they should throw the book at you.

I could think of loads more to put on but I might bore myself.
I'll come back maybe later.

BeanBag7 · 08/10/2019 08:14

Pull-ups are no different to nappies and won't help your child to potty train.

Putting a 1 year old in full time childcare is unfair and defeats the point of having a child.

Homework is pointless and just results in unhappy kids and more work for the teacher. The students who actually need more practise won't do the homework properly anyway.

Euthanasia should be legalised for patients with dementia.

Many people would be better off going straight into work without going to university. Three years experience at that age is worth more than a mediocre degree from a mediocre university.

No13 · 08/10/2019 08:18

Vegans are hypocrites.
Remainers are only concerned about their child’s gap years.
Greta is annoying
Labour are dangerous under Corbyn.

Gre8scott · 08/10/2019 08:21

People that enjoy sex are weridos
Its still a mans world and will not change until a man has a period or a baby
It is azy parenting to give you child a phone or ipad to play with when out in a restaurant

cushioncovers · 08/10/2019 08:28

Euthanasia should be legal.

If the planet really is in immediate danger because of our excessive lifestyles and over population then laws should be put in place to limit the damage we all do. It shouldn't be optional.

The education is a state run system that needs a massive overhaul as it's not fit for purpose for most kids.

Holidays are a luxury not a requirement.

BunchMunch · 08/10/2019 08:33

You shouldn't keep having children if you have no means of supporting them.
Climate change protests simply give the govt a reason to increase various taxes.
Holly Willoughby is incredibly annoying with her faux concerned face.
I could think of very many more.

AwfulSomething · 08/10/2019 08:43

Cars are a major contributor to pollution, most motorists are too lazy to reduce their use. Off to put my hard hat on!

RandomFactor · 08/10/2019 08:45

The royal family is outdated and the UK should become a republic when Elizabeth dies.
Taking drugs is not necessarily the road to rack and ruin.
Social media can be a positive and good thing.
Jeremy Corbyn would make a good Prime Minister
The recommended alcohol units per week is made up (fact not opinion) and rubbish.
Other people's kids are not that irritating.
There are far worse things in life than being fat (I'm slim).

LoudBatPerson · 08/10/2019 08:47

Drinking a glass or two of wine every night is excessive. Even drinking on a weekly basis is too much.

Not being able to drive on the odd day (breakdown/weather etc) doesn't stop you coming to work if you live within a few miles (truly rural areas/properly dangerous conditions exempt). Obviously disabilities also exempt.

Parent and child spaces are more trouble than they are worth.

Most journeys people make could be walked but people have got lazy.

Rain and snow will not melt people if they are caught outside.

Christmas should not appear until after bonfire night at the earliest.

Partners/husbands/fathers who do 50% of all child and house workload are not amazing creatures to be worshipped but should be the norm.

Buying cheap fashion created by people in horrid conditions is abhorrent.

People should fix things rather than throw away and buy new.

PhilSwagielka · 08/10/2019 09:04

I'm a female toilet reader. I keep a stack of books and magazines in the bog.

PhilSwagielka · 08/10/2019 09:05

Also, I voted Remain and I don't have kids and gap years never entered the equation, wtf.
