    Interested to hear.

    Personally I think fetus' with serious mental or physical disorders should be aborted. It would save the child from living in constant pain. If I was lying in my own waste and drooling like a fool, I would want someone to pull the plug on me, its not fair letting babies come into this world living with something like this.

    What is the most controversial view you have?

    You should be allowed to kill your children any time you want before they reach the age of 18.

    At the minute, that students availing of third level education in Ireland should be required to stay in Ireland after graduating for a set amount of time, unless they can prove that no work is available to them.

    Are there any controversial opinions anymore?..nothing I have read so far seems controversial.

    I think fat people should have special buses or at least pay for two seats.

    Edit: Actually they should be made to walk to their destination, that would solve my problem and their problem.

    P.S Edit: Heroin should be mixed with something that instantly sterilizes any junkie the first time they use it.

    I hate zionists with a passion, gets confused with anti-semitism which is where the controversy arises, couldnt give a fúck what your relegion is, but acting in the manner which the zioni do is not to my favour

    I believe the lotto should be taxed. Cause I'm never gonna win the fcukin thing.

    The point is OP, you're not handicapped so you're just speaking about something that's not going to happen. And how do you propose that we find out about the fetus' mental state? Id rather let people decide for themselves if they want to end their lives humanely. But I wouldn't want somebody...who has seen a sunset, tasted delicious food and experienced love to decide that somebody else cannot.

    That Mother Teresa, when the facts are out there, was actually more of a religious zealot than a force of unmitigated good like she's portrayed.

    Hitchen's is a bit of a ****, but he makes a compelling case
    Hitchens condemns Teresa for having used contributions to open convents in 150 countries rather than establishing a teaching hospital, the latter being what he implies donors expected her to do with their gifts. He claims that Teresa was no "friend to the poor," but rather that she opposed structural measures to end poverty, particularly those that would raise the status of women. He argues she was a tool by which the Catholic Church could further its political and theological aims, and the cult of personality that she developed could be used by politicians, dictators and bankers to gain credibility and ease guilty feelings, citing Hilary Clinton, Charles Keating and Michèle Bennett as examples.

    I could be in a car accident tomorrow and end up in a vegetative state. I would want my family to pull the plug.

    That's not very controversial.

    I object to abortion on demand.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 242 ✭✭Ghetto Cornetto


    A large percentage of the country's population should be chemically castrated or removed from the common populus as they have proven countless times that they will forever remain a burden to modern society.

    No specific groups of people in mind, just people who have a proven record that they not only do not contribute to society, but take away from it.

    I know someone who thinks that women should only be allowed drive certain cars, that it looks 'wrong' if she's driving a car that's 'obviously' for a man.

    Is that lot like imprisonment really though?

    That because someone is gets an education in a country they automatically have to stay in that country...seems very close minded really.

    When I finish college I'm most likely going to leave here and shouldn't that be a choice I'm free to make?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,372 ✭✭✭im invisible


    I like old movies.
    like 'Godfather... 3', its not considered the best one, but thats just me

    Travellers and scumbags should be exterminated, maybe by being neutered at birth. That or just have a day in the week when it's legal to kill them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,735 ✭✭✭✭Penn


    Most controversial view?

    My neighbours bedroom window.

    Other than that, anyone who weighs over 25 stone should be legally forced to lose weight, unless they can prove that they are actually big boned, or are muscular.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 542 ✭✭✭cleremy jarkson


    Free will is an illusion and our lives can only play out in one way.

    This is not the same as the wishy-washy concept of fate where people think their lives are like stories where they are "destined" for something, good or bad. It is the pointless, deterministic unfolding of events.

    We are just self-replicating, self-perpetuating, accidental lumps of chemical reactions clinging pointlessly to a rock in space and every thought which has occurred to human beings in times past and every action they have performed or event which has occurred to them could not have happened otherwise.

    Also, even if the universe isn't deterministic at the quantum level, this also implies that we don't have free will. unless we humans alone are magic and not subject to physical laws and are unlike all other species which have branched off the same evolutionary tree. What a happy coincidence that would be!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,857 ✭✭✭✭Dave!


    Probably not controversial among the general public, but politically incorrect at least: I think that the traveller 'culture' is completely disgusting, and should not be accommodated by the state in any way. Their way of life is completely anti-social, and the Gardaí should strong-arm them every time they begin to infringe on the well-being of the general population, and the order of society.

    Start with that fucking horse market.

    • sterilisation(or execution if they refuse) for paedophiles.
    • A few years ago there were reported deaths of junkies using contaminated heroine, I thought that was a great way of ridding Ireland of these social leeches.
    • Criminals shooting other criminals, again, no problem with this.
