Your unpopular opinions

Short of a head/knife/gun wound people who turn up in casualty because they've been involved in a fight/other types of public disorder (especially if they're still drunk), should be treated after everybody else.

RMD

I want the Irish government to take Sarkozy's approach to Roma immigrants.

The_Minister

That a significant portion of this country are happier ignorant than informed.

They prefer a black-and-white view where there is a group of 'bad people' and a group of 'good people' and everyone who disagrees is an apologist.

Mr. Denton

Multiculturalism should not be tolerated.

That's hardly unpopular these days

Means test/threshold income on child benefit.

Given the choice of a non national taxi driver and an Irish one I'll choose the latter purely cos an Irish one is more inclined to have the banter

Should this be renamed the unsubstasiated opinions thread?

95% of the men in this country are not good looking (to me).

I just realised I assume that gay women have a look about them. see gay thread.

I'd have more respect for animals than humans most of the time.

biko

Bring back the death penalty for certain crime.

The King of Moo

We're still a largely passive and deferential society.

Horsemeat is nice and no more morally objectionable than any other type of meat.

Drinking a lot regularly is a bit sad.

I don't like the taste of beer.

Michael O' Leary is a good businessman, whos blunt attitude I actually admire.

It was alright. But not great.

Thats funny because i will look on most humans as animals with the way they act but i would still have more respect for the animals most of the time.

I hate, with a passion, people like the above.

Contraception should be mandatory for young wans....until they arefinancially able to support their offspring. Haven't figured out how to police this just yet but give me time!;)

Temptamperu

Drugs and prostitution should be legalised.

People who arent from Ireland should not be allowed on the social welfare.

Einhard

That if it wasn't for the much maligned "PC, do-gooder" brigade, a lot of people in this country and others would be a lot worse off, with far fewer rights.

Also that anyone who uses "do-gooder" as if it's a bad thing, is an idiot.

See also bleeding heart, leftie, libtard, liberal PC brigade etc.

The preferred spoutings of those too dumb to put together an argument that doesn't involve what their mate down the pub said so it 'as to be true innit.

Football (I refuse to call it "soccer") is a far more entertaining and skillful sport than Gaelic Football.

Can't think of one of my own but RMD, that's not unpopular
You'd have a lot of support on this one

TanG411

I admire the likes of Michael O' Leary and Bill Cullen.
I hate people who put animals before humans generally.
Alcohol should be banned. I hate being called an alcoholic because I don't drink.

Temptamperu

Sports is just a distraction for mindless proles keep them busy fighting over who scored the most goals and they wont complain about the fúckers who are ruining the country with there idiotic policys.

Big Nasty

Unpopular in what circles? Here on AH or among friends?

Would like to see all scroates exhiled and all council estates raized.

Consoles are rubbish.

Norris should have been flogged in public.

That's generally accepted tho. GAA for the most part consists of a bunch of thick toothless yokels wildly running around after the ball like Rocky and the chicken.

Certain recreational drugs should be legalised.

7sr2z3fely84g5

ignore the anti smoking groups and bring price of cigs down to €5.

Rebel021

Bring back the death penalty
Abolish the WPS programme

Free health care for all
Remove all luxuries from prisons
open borders

I could go on and on but I won't

Lord TSC

Ireland's drinking culture is what's killing it; we're too obsessed with being out every night of the week and not being able to remember it the morning after than we are about working hard and earning success.

* We should have points system for letting people into the country (like Canada, America, Australia, etc).
* Some prisons are too easy, nearly unofficial breakaway-holiday camps!
* Semi-contact Karate should be an Olympic sport!
* Life should mean LIFE in prison!

I agree but where is the shortfall in revenue going to be made up.
If we banned smoking completely which will never happen btw
the government coffers are going to be a few billion short.

i think it could balance out,they know themselves they are losing a fortune in smuggling due to the price difference,but of course no one wants to say they want to reduce it or say its an addiction they tax on so they might as well legalise cannabis in that stance.

Adamantium

24 hour news, internet information has made us all geniuses but with little depth of any particular subject.
Also almost all 99.5% media is cleverly constructed bull**** to keep us fighting between ourselves and make us forget about how much we ALL have in common.

we've become more spectators than participants in our own lives.

Unless you have a health problem, You don't have a problem! AT ALL.

I agreed with his post on account of your last two points.

First one I agreed with though.

Or maybe you were exaggerating the final point?

mikemac

Alcohol does far more damage in Ireland then many illegal drugs.
Ok you'll say my opinion means nothing as it's so widespread with every village having a pub

But after seeing the fury Joe Duffy managed to whip up, nothing will ever change about legalization of certain drugs while our drink culture continues

Going from the opinions expressed in this thread, the rise of the far right in Ireland may not be that far away.

The King of Moo

Even if they're safer than cars, wearing a seatbelt on a coach is not uncool or a nuisance, and is in fact a good idea.

I travel regularly by bus and never understand why almost no-one wears their seatbelt when they'd never consider not wearing it in a car.

Make under age girls guilty as well in engagement of underage sex

Scrap croke park agreement

mikemac

Pat Kenny is the most talented person in RTÉ and his radio show and the Frontline are very good
Ok, he doesn't deserve his obscene salary or even half of it but he deserves to be the highest paid person in RTÉ

Nursing used to be a vocation and wards were tightly managed by nuns and matrons.
Now nursing is a degree subject, graduate salaries are expected and lots of workers want to be the manager with the clipboard while others do the real work
Was it realy worse in the old days?
Why is nursing a degree subject and we have care assistants doing other work?
Will it ever go back to a vocational job, not as well paid but then the nurses are not asked to take on extra responsibility

Irish people have terrible tendencies towards littering, and that makes us all look like classless pigs

People with gender identity issues are mentally ill.

Gay people shouldn't marry in a catholic church.

Most drugs should be controlled and legalised.

There should be very serious sentences for repeat offenders.

The driving test should be more difficult and you should have to retake the test every 10 years.

Obese people should have to pay for healthcare.

The requirements for entering the guards should be more demanding and all guards 'on the beat' should undergo continuous fitness testing.

Kilkenny and Tipp should have their own mini all ireland

lol no,but the 06 law for some odd reason cannot find an girl under 17 guilty of having sex whilst the bloke who could be underage will get the book thrown at him.

in the states both are guilty parties.
