People who hate private schools are just jealous
No, some of them work in HE and see the outcomes. And some believe in a fairer more equal society Smile

Don't pretend to be pro equality and social cohesion if you send your kids to private school.

Don't pretend to be an animal lover of you support their exploitation and massacre by eating them.

Re the above please don't try to convince me that all your meat is from an animal that lives a blissful life and came to a happy end on some idyllic farm. 97% of meat for human consumption came from an animal that had a miserable life and untimely and cruel death.

Following on from that, parents who treat adult children as children and still carry on running around after them make me sick. You are a massive part of the problem of an infantalised society. And you should be charging working adults board, even if you don't need it, on principle.

I agree and I'm alarmed at the amount of parents who call up Universities on behalf of their children who've already started, to say things like the heating isn't working in the halls or they weren't happy with a comment from a lecturer.

@Seasaltyhair thank you!!! Thanks Luckily I could pay for mine but my heart breaks for the ones that cant!! Obviously cancer treatments and the like should be top priority but still!

Or keep them as pets (sorry, "fur babies")

Autistic people are human beings with their own thoughts, feelings and values, regardless of how they express themselves.

Spot on.
And those people see the helicopter parents at their worst.

The last two Labour leaders both attended private school Confused

Trans women are trans women.
Being a feminist is not akin to being a man hater.
Lesbians are allowed to have relationships with other women and are not bigots for doing so.
Bisexual women are allowed sexual boundaries and shouldn't be guilt tripped if they say no to anyone.

Pineapple on pizza is great and so are mushrooms.

@toconclude haha that made me laugh, I grew up in Woking!

MakeMineALarge1 · 03/01/2021 11:13

I have a toilet brush.
I have Christmas Bedding.
I think very few people suffer from anxiety and its a catch all for getting out of things you don't want to do.
PTSD from working in Covid wards - sorry I don't believe it.
Can't work in Covid due to anxiety - get a fucking grip - I don't have a choice.
I wonder how many people would be off sick with MH issues if they weren't being paid?

Cokie3 · 03/01/2021 11:14

People who say people that eat animals don't truly love animals are disrespecting vets.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 03/01/2021 11:15

Oh and...

Social media can be absolutely great thing when used right. People (adults, it's quite different matter with children, but that should be handled by adults anyway) need to take some responsibility for their own environment.

EpicNameChange · 03/01/2021 11:20

Marriage belongs in the 19th century, not this one.

People who eat and drink whatever they like are a lot more fun to be around than the preachy perfect types.

Vegans are a pain in the arse to live with.

Dogs are a pain in the arse to live with.

Home ownership is an increasingly risky lifestyle choice, not something to be proud of.

I couldn't give a shit about my credit score.

People who voted for Boris should be forced to publicly repent, medieval-style.

Corbyn was also shit but would have dealt with Covid schools crisis much better.

Keir Starmer is fucking useless.

Not sure why their parents' choices are relevant. Whether as adults they send their kids to state schools certainly is. Starmer does and Corbyn was involved in grammar/comp issue though did not privately educate.

MacDuffsMuff · 03/01/2021 11:21

Not everyone who claims to have chronic anxiety actually has chronic anxiety, some people use it as an excuse. Please note, I say some people.

Cake smashes for babies are chavvy. Ditto piercing their ears.

'It's Prosecco/Gin time!' No, stop it.

MakeMineALarge1 · 03/01/2021 11:22

People who walk slow in supermarkets should be shot.

CremeEggThief · 03/01/2021 11:23

Pineapple on pizza is amazing! Especially with olives. The best pizza is a Margherita with pineapples and olives. Anyone who thinks otherwise is wrong!

Um ... what?? 😂

Agree.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 03/01/2021 11:27

I actually believe that pineapple on pizza controversy is a marketing ploy 😂 Firstly, it's delish. With added chili flakes. Secondly, ham&pinapple are top 5 toppings for pizza in the UK.

To have actually umpopular opinion... I believe anchovies on pizza are lovely. 😂

CounsellorTroi · 03/01/2021 11:27

You can be happy and fulfilled without having children, even if ou are not childless by choice.

CremeEggThief · 03/01/2021 11:28

I'll admit that I do have chronic anxiety and I often use it as an excuse, even to myself, to justify not doing anything I don't want to.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 03/01/2021 11:28

I have pineapple, tuna and anchovies on my pizza. Yum.

floppybit · 03/01/2021 11:29

@trynnagetsomepeace "The over 80's should not have been prioritised over teachers or doctors/nurses on COVID vaccinations." I totally agree with you
