I thought this was unpopular opinions not stupid people airing their prejudices.

Have you never seen one of these threads before? They usually (rightly) get deleted when people start posting about special needs and disabilities.

If you didn’t take your education seriously, don’t expect to have the same opportunities or be resentful against those that did.

Well two different people have already disagreed with two of the opinions I posted, which I suppose is the point of an "unpopular opinions" thread. Do I win £5?

Sugar is not the devil of dieting. No food is good or bad.

Girls all look the same with their big matte lips and big eyebrow duck faces

We are all going to Hell In A Handcart with our health and diet .
Diabetes
Hypertension
Cholesterol
Arthritis and limited mobility
Certain types of cancers

It is all available out there, the information and the help

Stop Smoking .
Healthy diet
Alcohol

Shops don't help with their stupid vanity sizing either .
"I'll buy this in ShopA because I can fit in a 14 when in ShopB I'd have to buy a 16-18"
It doesn't make you a Size 14 though, they have cut it more generously .

I see more unhealthy, smoking, morbidly obese people now than I did when I was a teenager .
It is "accepted" "glossed over" . You aren't allowed to say to someone "You are fat".

We are storing up health problems and it literally will be the death of us Sad

Boyence acts like a trollop and should know better.
I judge those who don't take pride in their garden.
I don't find bald heads attractive.

Transwomen are women

No they are not .

Cheese is disgusting including hard cheese, soft cheese, cheese cake, and anything that cheese has ever been near 🤢

TW and TW. Hence the T bit.

You should not have a child unless you take proper care of it. This includes spending time with your child, educating them and doing basic parental duties.
It is not school's responsibility to do these things.
Stop being lazy.
Neither should you have a dog if you leave it day in day out, bored, lonely and in desparate need of attention and exercise.

emilybrontescorsett · 06/10/2019 17:59

Just because you like ballet, make up, the colour pink or gin, does not mean you are female. If you were born with a penis then you are a male who likes those things.

DracarysThis · 06/10/2019 18:02

Dogs are stinking, boring, mindless idiots that are nothing but trouble.

There are two genders and sexes - anything else is bullshit. If you have XY chromosomes you are not a woman.

LordProfFekkoThePenguinPhD · 06/10/2019 18:02

I like dogs more that I like people.

If your relationship is shit, you should not TTC number 2.

If your DH is lazy and you do 90% of everything, you should not have kids with him. If he hid his true self until after DC1, don’t TTC DC2.

Never give up your job, drop your hours at best.

Homework in most state schools isn’t that much compared to the rest of the world. Kids can do homework and there will still be plenty of time to play.

Many women are martyrs.

Football tops should NEVER be worn abroad. It’s beyond tacky and I wouldn’t be seen with DH if he wore one (not that he would).

  1. The whole trans thing is an opinion at best and, as such, keep it to yourself if you want me to return the same favour.
  2. Shampoos are designed to require conditioners which require masks which require serums etc. Just use body wash all over, your scalp will thank you. And use it every day, us fellow people will thank you.
  3. Crop tops are crap tops.
  4. All forms of leather products should be banned.
  5. BMI is crap once your muscle weight gets bigger than your fat weight on a proper scan. Before that, sorry, but numbers don't lie and it WILL come back to bite you.
  6. Brexit was designed to rescue hedge funders from the criminalization of tax havens by the EU that comes into power in January. Everyone else will be thrown in the deep end of the sewage and if you think otherwise, it's time to cancel the daily fail subscription.
  7. Car parking charges in hospitals are evil.
  8. Sweet popcorn, improper use of pineapple, sweet starters or mains, edamame and honey glazed anything should be banned. Also, pumpkin spice is rubbish.

Only service dogs belong in oubs/restaurants/cafes

Hyphenated names are common

Moon and me on Cbeebies makes in the night Garden look sane

Prince Harry is no longer a nice person.

Camilla should be queen consort when Charles is king.

I am encouraging my kids to choose their career based on potential earnings. Money doesn’t buy happiness but It certainly helps

The NHS isn’t particularly great and people who think it is universally amazing haven’t had access to decent healthcare

Disney is boring and Orlando is shit

OhTheRoses · 06/10/2019 18:20

To mourn the days of quiche and moldies. Meet-ups and a jolly good debate.

My DH can be a selfish, entitled knob but he's also pretty kind and moral and loyal so if he can't/won't cook, hates shopping and likes his pants ironed after 30 years that's fine. Mainly because he also thinks I'm his equal, values me and has put several mill in the bank which means I have a lovely life adds before I run - I still work full-time because I like work.

I think the best way to eat French toast is with ketchup!

Emcont · 06/10/2019 18:36

This whole trans bollocks is a fad and in years to come these people will want to swap back!

You cannot swap from a Female to a Male, get pregnant and be classed as a pregnant man!

Beyonce is overrated.

The Kardashians are not at all worth the attention they get!

That's actually a common quick dinner where I come from😂 Just make sure not to put sugar in eggs. Try it with bit of mustard, slice of ham and slice of cheese, pop it in a microwave to melt the cheese. Pickle is a highly recommended addition😁

All of Madonna's songs are shite and she can't sing
