Unpopular opinions

I don't think he slipped at all, Edge of Tomorrow was downright incredible, hands down one of the best movies of 2014 by far. The Mission Impossible movies are always good fun, and he was the best thing about Tropic Thunder. I've not seen Oblivion, but I've heard that's pretty good too. Jack Reacher was decent, nothing amazing but not terrible by any stretch.

Going back a while, he was awesome in Collateral.

You've obviously forgiven him for Knight and Day, Days of Thunder, and Far and Away then... :pac:

Never seen Knight and Day, the others were a pretty long time ago at this point, and he's done so many great movies since then we can hardly hold those against him. Minority Report was absolutely fantastic, on the whole he's done more good movies than bad.

I think Knight and Day is really good and funny because he's character is completely mental in a funny way.

Who the hell is Peregrine?

I never saw Rock of Ages because it never made sense to me that one of the main characters would be a hair metal singer in his 40s-50s in the 1980s.

I just love that film so much, Its the music really that makes it and he is so good in it. I went to see it like 3 times in the cinema and have the dvd as well. It was actually that film that I started liking Tom Cruise again. :)

We execute wasps...but we don't execute dogs

I dont like wasps i got attacked by one of them one time, i was walking and this wasp went straight into my hair so i started shaking him out and when i got him out of my hair he went straight back in there so then i had to shake him out again and went i got him out the second time i just ran for my life because I knew he was determined to sting me but I like bumblebees, i think bumblebees are lovely,

I actually rescued a bumblebee from being killed by a spider, he got caught in a spiders web and the spider came out of his hole and was reeling the bumblebee in so i got a stick and cut the web and the bumblebee came on the stick and I put him on the grass and he flew away. :)

Nope they changed that every grouping is defined as a family now apparently.

Thin Lizzy were shíte

Far too much nepotism in workplaces in Ireland

Irish women are far too picky about what they want in a partner and I think the media, crap tv shows/books/magazines they watch and read give them really shallow and unrealistic standards and expectations, reason why a lot stay single well into their 30's, like them f**king clowns on How I Met Your Mother and whatnot. Can't afford to keep being picky when you hit your late 20's and 30's. Time is ticking.

"Gotta impregnate 'em all" :pac:

Not under the Children and Family Relationships Act 2015 they didn't, nor has the Constitution changed to define "The Family" either, beyond as efb points out what qualifies as "The Family" once a couple are married.

Oh right I was led to believe that it was changed as a result of changing Article 41 .1 formerly "The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded, and to protect it against attack."


I was also told during the last referendum on these boards that The family according to the courts is a married couple with or without children I was not told the case law in question.

I know "One family" wants the constitution changed:

I did find a good article that discusses the whole definition of the family but is 10 years old

Anyway apparently my view of what a family is now outdated/unpopular or whatever the word is! I believe the term for my view of what a family is the "nuclear family". It sounds like a (funny name to call it like they are waging war) but this is what wiki says https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_family
By Wiki showing a picture of such a family from 1955 might imply that my views are unpopular/outdated!

Ehh, I doubt it! Your views are neither unpopular nor outdated as the nuclear family is still an aspirational ideal for the vast majority of adults.

People need to get over Father Ted.

I don't like muslims and their culture.

I'd like to meet the women you know then, anyone I come across, it's a mix match of standards and hoop jumping from picky women, "Do you have a degree, or a masters?" or "Did you go to Triners? (or some other wanker college in Dublin...) "Do you have a car?" "Have you a well paid spectacular job?" "Do you live in the right part of town?/The right street?" (In other words, can't go out with a guy from such and such a place because..etc)

"Did you go to the right secondary school?" "Do you go to the gym 5 times a week?" "Have you traveled here there and everywhere through your 20's?" (just so I can find soooooo interesting because you've been somewhere)

Lot of shallow narrow minded bullshyte.

"Women's standards are too high" is hardly an unpopular opinion though?

There's plenty of women don't care about those sort of things, but they'd be the sort of women that complain about men who have standards that they don't meet.

I'm sure you have your own standards too?


You do, right?
