I love salads actually. I don't love going around trying to get a rise out of people out of malice instead of actual debating.

I lolled at that.

It is actually sending aid to Italy. And Ireland.

An opinion isn't a statement of fact though.

China doesn't do anything for anyone without strings attached

I didn't actually report you no. Just don't like racist terms. Do you think it's grand to use words like that?

What are you debating? I thought I told you before to relax, being angry is not good for you. This is just a nonsense site, you don't have to be debating or getting worked up.

Telling people how to feel ftw.

Sorry about that

Open plan living is crap.

That's another thing on this thread - statements about what will happen with zero to back it up.

Thread title should have been changed to 'Stupid Opinions' months ago Girl.

why do people click on this thread for unpopular opinions, then moan about the opinions.

I get it most wont agree, but is that not the point of the thread ?

There's a difference between an unpopular opinion and an inaccurate statement of fact.

I suspect you aren't the quickest so I'll give examples.
"I think potatoes are unpleasant to eat", might be considered an unpopular opinion.

"Potatoes cannot be eaten by people", is a statement of an inaccurate fact.

Self-isolating will kill more people in Ireland than that virus.

Suck it up buttercup!

Nelson Mandela spent 6 years of a 27 year prison sentence in solitary confinement... he said ultimately it made him stronger not weaker.

If he can do that... you can spend a few weeks indoors, trying not to catch and spread a dangerous virus around the country!

People wearing face masks are wasting their time as the corona can enter the eyes.

There is droplet transmission and aerosol transmission...

Face masks have a negligible effect on aerosol transmission, as the particles are so small... but they certainly are effective for droplet transmission. (Coughing, sneezing, and even talking at close range etc)

Anything that can bring down the infection rate, even by a small amount, is potentially worth it. The Asians have the correct idea wearing masks, and we probably should all be wearing them too! They're far from a waste of time!

This virus was created by the Chinese or American government to destabilise one of the others countries.

As well as that, the lengths we're letting this devastate the economy is unacceptable. People should just go about their daily lives on the 29th. I want to go back to college

It'll be the 29th September 2020 at the earliest boss. If you are still around by then.

I think non binary people hoping to be referred to by pronouns like 'they' and 'them' need to cop on to themselves.

Using such terms is grammatically incorrect, and using those terms to the rest of us binary folk might be considered quite rude.

The whinging about the 35 different genders, which non binary toilet to use or identifying as a mongoose seems to have ceased for the moment. Thankfully.

I gave you a chance but... no more. Deranged, self absorbed vomit.

Exactly. This is the key thing about opinions that people choose to ignore. Sometimes something is either a fact or isn't. Opinion does not come into it.

ye are still moaning because ye dont like what ye read.

guess what, no one cares. I have no problem if someone thinks their opinion is fact, or at least not in this thread.
Ye need to loosen up and stop derailing the thread.

That is my opinion

The demographic whose mental health is most at risk during this lock-down are the sporty men. Imagine having a routine of training three nights a week, and playing a match at the weekend, suddenly called to a halt (for the greater good I admit). Or scheduling your free time to attend matches etc. Heck even the lack of sporting action on the telly hammers home how much you miss it when it's gone.

It's grand for full-time mammy Jacinta from Ballyfermot though. Sure she still has her soaps and Saturday night light entertainment to keep her going.

But anyway yeah, contradiction of fact is not opinion.

That's just the way it is, whether I agree with the person or not. Can't remember what your particular post said. I'm talking in general terms.

Coronation Street and Emmerdale are stopping filming now.
Fair City and Eastenders have stopped.
Episodes cut back.
So in a few weeks Jacinta from Ballyfermot might have nothing as well.

My unpopular opinion is that it is indeed grand to use words like chinks. I use it all the time - more commonly to refer to the food than the people but (i.e. fancy a chinks tonight?) I have no problem whatsoever with the word.

In other words poor Jacinta has no role models anymore! :mad:

This won't go down well but some of the stories about Owen Hart really show him up to be a dick.

The fact that he took advantage of marks across the country for free accomodation and travel. His brother Smith talked about how Owen used to get a mentally retarded gentleman from Regina, Saskatchewan to drive him and the boys hundreds of miles for free during the WWF Canadian tours in the 90s.


This at a time when Owen was earning 300k a year.


He may have tried to guise it under the cloak of ribbing but I don't find that behaviour to be any way amusing. More like the actions of a lowlife.
