Lots of people smoke but don't advertise the fact. Not everyone who smokes is a stoner, just like not everyone who drinks is an alcoholic. I do not smoke myself, BTW, or drink, but i know a few that do and function just fine. They don't smoke all day, everyday and don't make it known to all and sundry that they smoke.

Would it be common for people you know to smoke weed? The younger or older generation.

Those who have a simplistic moralistic reaction to many stories without thinking for a minute that it might be more complicated: "the government should just give houses to all the homeless people".

This.

Utter ****ing arseholes who, to cite a recent example, share some nonsense photos or videos along the lines of "Supermacs in wherever threw out this homeless man the second he finished his meal". These people have absolutely no idea if the man was harassing others, whether he had been spotted after being served by a staff member who banned him previously, lit up a smoke etc etc. No, there's just a knee jerk reaction that every single homeless person out there is some saintly character dealt a bad hand by the banksters and FG.

Forgot to add: People who allow dogs and cats into houses, its gross and disgusting. Dogs are filthy creatures and cats even worse.

Why though?

Is someone not allowed to enjoy themselves? do you think the same for people who engage in same sex relationships?

if not, then how is using a substance different? it's their body.

not attacking you just curious

Whats that supposed to mean 😂sounds like you trying to say I'm a homophobe because I don't think people should be taking dangerous substances to have a bit of fun.

If you can't have a bit of craic without relying on drugs I don't want to be around you .you can fry your brain all you want but I'm not gonna respect you for it.
I seen friends become shells of themselves (may be a bit of an exaggeration but some people just dont react well with rec drugs)and some go down the addict path because they don't know when to stop.

Alot of them seem to rely on "smart" drugs too. Why the hell should I respect them for trying cheat their way through life.

Nevermind the permanent effects they are having on your brain chemistry.

Grown men who wear soccer jersies to the pub. I can understand wearing an Ireland jersey when they are playing, likewise your county colours, but 40-year old Jayo from Blanchardstown wearing his favourite Liverpool/United kit in to his local just looks strange. Doubly so when they have a players name printed at the back.

Is it just me or do far fewer people wear jerseys as casual wear compared to 10 years ago?

I don't know if it's anything to do with the general decline in both Liverpool and Utd in the last decade bar the odd good season, but I notice far fewer people wearing them.

Or maybe it's that Standard Chartered are the most eye wateringly boring sponsor name that has ever emblazoned a jersey.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I find Chelsea players in general and Harry Kane in particular the worst, especially around the penalty area.

Does it matter if some people don't like your clothes , smoking habit , sex life or anything else ?

They're never going to change their mind so why bother justifying it?

For the good of society it's good to challenge perceptions. It's how we now live in a more tolerant society. For example, I was once of the opinion that the term marriage should be exclusive for heterosexuals, but changed my mind and by the time the vote came around I was strongly in favour of same sex marriage.

Of course, nobody in the history of the internet has ever had their mind changed

Not a popular addition to this thread I imagine, but I'd say I'm immediately turned off by people who jump to conclusions about others without making any effort to understand their prescriptive,even worse people who are proud that they do it.
