To stat a new “Unpopular Opinions” thread?

[StabbyCat]

Inspired by a clip I just saw on Instagram.

Deep breath.

Here goes.

Robin Williams wasn’t particularly funny.

ETA “Start” obviously.

That’ll only be another reason for employers to not employ women of child bearing age, though. If someone isn’t successful at interview, there is no legal obligation to provide feedback or a reason why they didn’t get the job.

Coffee of any type, including in food, is absolutely revolting. I hate it and won't touch it. I can never understand the worldwide obsession with it! I don't even like the word ''coffee''. UGH!

adults who offer unrelated children sugary foods should be heavily, heavily stigmatised because they’re shitheads.

Most people who say “treat foods are fine in moderation” are using a very lax definition of moderation and are giving their kids junk every day and pretending to themselves that they’re not. Even every week is too much actually.

chocolate, sweets, juice etc every day is indulgent and gluttonous. it’s also fine, if you’re an adult. but leave the kids alone!

Sadiq Khan is doing a good job
Immigration is a good thing
Tommy Robinson and his ilk are poorly educated thugs and not any kind of heroic figures

I fully agree with you, I can't stand him!

omg this

theyll be back😂

The capitalism that you love is building expensive boxes with hardly any inside or outside spaces, on land that is vital to our food security when in many cases brownfield sites are avaliable. To add insult to injury the number of affordable/ council home they originally plan to deliver often gets reduced during construction. As for affordable homes - they are building 20,000 homes near my cousin in Adlington. The affordable home price is c£400k! That's wouldn't to help first time movers on normal salaries in the London let alone the North. I bet they will also have to pay those annual fees to for up keep of the roads and communal spaces.

Capitalism allows companies like Amazon to kill conpetion whist paying minimum taxes despite enjoying all the benefits of the UK labour force, UK customers and UK infrastructure. It benefits from tax payer funded services like education the NHS abd public infrastructure whilst using loopholes to limit how much tax it pays to helps fund them meaning ordinary tax payers pick up.the shortfall.

Capitalism can drive innovation and growth, but when left unchecked it eventually becomes parasitic, taking without contributing fairly to society.

TLDR

Capitalism and privatisation has driven up the cost of everything including infrastructure in the UK.

I love dogs, but can't stand kids!

You don’t need to spell anything out for me. Your original post said “he was very intelligent and a lot more courteous than the interviewer”. Nothing about how he was able to walk in plain sight, slip through the net, appear to be more charming than he was etc.

This comment suggests the poster definitely did need to spell it out for you. Unless you seriously believed they were saying he's a nice guy?

That’s why I said you should read the Epstein files and the reporting around them.

you make false assumptions that I don't have the information I need to form an opinion without wading through the DoJ website nor the reporting that is in our face every day, much of which I avoid as it doesn't enhance my understanding further.

next you'll be saying "educate yourself" which is the normal put down on here. Thanks. It really is too exhausting to have to write everything out chapter and verse.

have a very happy Saturday

It's reasonable as a woman to be wary of men from countries where women are considered as second class citizens. I much rather would have women and children immigrating from those countries.

I suspect atleast half of all barber shops to be fronts for money laundering/other illegal activities (confirmed by police officer in family).

All indie pop lovers are pretentious and think their taste is superior- looking at you dh.

I am sick of all those who want unreasonable measures to be taken to accomodate the minority.

Childcare should be free and stately monitored with highly skilled and well-paid staff (as in Scandinavia). And only female staff since 99% of paedophiles are male.

Teaching people, especially perfectly healthy people, to introspect about their mental health is bad for their mental health.

Thank you for posting this.
My job involves safeguarding children, I have 20 years experience in it, and my experience has shown me that what you have said is right.
I would also add that an alarming amount of adults don't recognise child abuse when it's happening right in front of them, and/or don't recognise how to spot the signs in a child that they are being abused.
I have to do a mandatory annual child safeguarding module in order to keep up to date for my job. I have long held the opinion that every adult in the land should be made to complete them. We all have a collective responsibility to safeguard our children. However, I think this would be an unpopular opinion.
*Edited to add: Exactly the same - what you have said and what I have said - is true for adult abuse. (My job also involves adult safeguarding too.)

Not every food (or dessert, or bakery item) is improved by the addition of chocolate.

Parenting classes would be more useful than trying to educate babies and toddlers!

Too many people don't understand that their desire for a service to exist doesn't create suitable people who are willing to do it.

Hard agree.

Men don't have children - they can turn into wonderful fathers but fundamentally it's women who have and make children, not men

Chocolate strawberries are gross. Chocolate on any fruit, actually.

Chocolate is great. Strawberries/other fruits are great. Put together they are not.

I don't mean flavoured chocolate like a Terry's Chocolate Orange. I mean actual chocolate put on actual pieces of fruit. Just no.

And people who insist on telling you you only don’t like instant coffee; that real coffee is totally different and is wonderful. It’s still bloody coffee!

A lot of not very unpopular opinions here; who TF doesn’t think Ant and Dec are a tedious, overexposed tossers?

Mine is I have no problem with dog breeders (not puppy farmers) as I want a beautiful golden retriever puppy of known parentage. I don’t want a previously abused or neglected mongrel, probably of dubious background, that I have to “rescue”.

When on your own and out with your baby in the pram,

Prams should be folded to use public transport. If yours doesn't, then you have chosen not to use public transport.

If you are overweight its because you eat too much

Or someone just being called all of those names because they have an opinion/experience of something

Yet We All Have Them
