The end of humanity in the very near future would give the rest of the planet a chance. We're taking everything down with us.

Nah planet will do fine without us, we are just committing suicide.

Mine is fruit salad. I’m generally a live and let live kind of person and I don’t care what people do in the privacy of their own homes but fruit salad is so repulsive it has no place in a civilised society.

Spitting in the street. Disgusting

@AllThingsServeTheBeam because they're chavvy AF and think they look horrid shoved in little babies' faces and equally horrid seeing 3 year olds running around with them in. No not forced on my children at all. No impact on my life whatsoever except I have to see them occasionally on others' kids.

Nope. Mine is firmly in. Not as firmly is as the judgmental pants are in your arse mind.

I said I wouldn't like to ban anything.

I stand by that.

I'd like to see a slow-fade on erroneous pedantry though.

ODFOD

Why did I piss you off that much?

ShriekingShack · 15/07/2022 22:33

Online porn. Social media platforms.

I'd like to ban posters who pounce on harmless, lighthearted threads and post a sneery, spiteful answer to a completely inoffensive question. Actually, scratch that - I'd like MNHQ to ban them.

🙄 my comment was light hearted.

People leaving school without at least a rudimentary understanding of:

The UK political system and the UK’s ‘place’ in the world.
Another language - not in a boring grammar and spelling way, but spoken and listened to, so you could hold enough of a basic ‘business’ conversation.
Personal finance - budgeting, mortgages, pensions - this would be way more useful than ox bow lakes and Macbeth.
Project management (at a very basic level) to understand how to plan and implement projects and coursework - esp. things like goal setting.

So much dog hate. I’d ban dog haters. 😝

Guiltypleasures001 · 17/07/2022 01:28

Ide ban all porn

Giantostrich · 17/07/2022 11:54

If all porn and all alcohol could be banned effectively, life would improve a lot. Including the state of the NHS.

Zoeslatesttrope · 17/07/2022 12:03

Screaming children.

OneTC · 17/07/2022 12:07

How effective is the ban?

Does it stop it or does it discourage it to a degree?

Maisa45 · 17/07/2022 12:09

All forms of animal exploitation.

Bottled water in countries with clean tap water.
