To stat a new “Unpopular Opinions” thread?

Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

Somewhere upthread someone has explained that coriander is 'marmite' - some people taste it as soap.

Unless you mean Judd. He really is.

Although, how much of MN would appreciate that...? Maybe you are right.

Some kids aren’t parented properly and their naughtiness/rudeness spoils it for the rest of the class. As a former teacher, I’d happily sling them out if they can’t be respectful.
There’s 30 other kids in the class, it’s just evidence they’re never told no

I don’t think children should have formal schooling until they are at least 6.

A private school is not going to help with a child’s natural development and intelligence.

I do understand that, which is why I understand that a strong person can function normally while putting the vulnerable first. To me, it sounds like a very weak thing to say the vulnerable have to go last.

But our society doesn’t work like a tribe. It’s capitalism. The rich get richer and the vulnerable get shafted. Whos spending money on them? I know we have welfare but it’s hardly lavish

Bohemian rhapsody is the worst pop song ever. John Lennon was a serial wife beater and cheater, "Imagine" makes me feel sick at his hypocrisy

Garlic tastes lovely, has antibiotic properties and keeps vampires away how can you not like it?

Kids who cannot sit calmly and quietly in the classroom need to be separated from those who can to allow the others to learn - and the teacher to teach - in the most efficient manner.

Private schools are full of kids who will turn out to be as snobby as their parents.

@Teanbiscuits33 unless they are a head turner - which seems to be rare these days!

Do you not see how that proves my point?

Friends is the most boring shit ever around. Whyyyyyyyyy is it still a thing.

Inspired by a current thread….there absolutely should be an option to buy seats on an adults only flight. No children allowed!

SAHM isn’t a job if children are in school

I enjoyed lockdown and was disappointed when it stopped.

Would you like a badge or a chest to pin it on.😘

White people who bellyache over Israel v Palestine, who’ve never cared about any other genocide/war. Just an excuse to be anti-Semitic

Yes! Body chemistry effects a lot of cosmetics/toiletries. Several years ago I had a brand of nail polish that wouldn't dry at all once I'd painted my nails, but other brands worked fine! Very strange. (It was Models Own who don't exist anymore.😟) These days Orly last longer than Holo Taco on me before chipping.

Things that women enjoy are not lesser because we enjoy them! I've seen a lot of stuff about make up and fashion and things like that being looked down on, and it drives me bananas.

Breast feeding hurts like hell for some people even if you are doing it perfectly.

Surely everyone realises this? They arent exactly subtle about it!

Coriander, parsley, or any other strong flavour herb chopped and sprinkled over a meal doesn't make the plate look any prettier and often ruins the meal ad the flavour doesn't go

Agreed, I never got Robin Williams. Can’t stand Steve Carrell (?) either.

Apparently, according to what I read some years ago when I was looking into this when we adopted our DS, the distinctive traits are caused at a specific time during the development of the baby in the womb. So it is entirely possible for a child to be affected by FAS but not have the traits.

If the mother was a binge drinker, got very drunk once or twice a month, as opposed to drinking a lesser amount more regularly, then the baby might pass through that facial developmental stage without any alcohol being present in the mum's system.

The brain development takes place across most (all?) of the pregnancy so is very likely to be affected by the binge drinking as well as regular drinking.

Ha! I hadn’t thought about this before but I agree. I always pick them out when there are big slices of chilli all over the food. I like a bit of spice but toO much ruins and absolutely don’t understand the people putting chilli / hot sauce all over everything.
