Unpopular view.

If I want to chop off my leg, I'm considered mentally insane and help will be on the way. However if I want to chop off my knob, I'm transgender.

Now look, I don't want to upset anyone, so fully open to someone laying it on me and educating me. I think it is horrible how some people have been treated and I don't condone it. I like to see people happy and people helped where they need it, if they need it. I just fear that it's the wrong response here and I back the science. XX. XY.

There's a difference between gender and biological sex.

Anyway, XX and XY doesn't always hold true. There are biological males with XX chromosones and vice versa. Not to mention intersex people.

This is the standard right wing practice now. Faux rebellion. I'm not allowed to say this, says the Daily Mail columnist. I'm not allowed to say this, says Jordan Peterson to an audience of thousands. I'm not allowed to say this, says Paul Joseph Watson on his highly popular youtube videos. I'm not allowed say this, says Trump from the Oval Office.

Why do people always conflate homosexuality with paedophilia?

That's been explained to you and its not conflating.

A disgusting remark. I pointed out earlier why some of us would find ourselves in that store.

I think jordan Peterson is a boring wind bag.

That seems like my only real unpopular opinion

For your first point, it's acceptable I suppose if you want Ireland to leave the EU, and lose all the benefits that brings. Would that be ok with you?

Secondly, can you clarify why Ireland should not need to shelter fugees? Do you think the Irish should have been turned away from America?

I said illegal immigrants. I find it alarming that the likes of Angela Merkel and liberals advocate open borders.

How many do you accept? Give me a number? There's millions in Africa that will gladly make their way to Europe if given the opportunity.

We shouldn't give shelter to fugees because they are an internationally accepted music act with millions in the bank.

We are in the throes of a housing crisis. We do not have enough homes to house the people already in the country. Yet we welcome more and more foreign nationals to come to this country to join social housing lists and obtain social welfare.

I have no issue with people coming to this country and contributing, but we are an utter joke at this point.

Stop trying to make pals in the EU you morons, we do not have the resources to take these thousands of unskilled foreign nationals into the country and give them a home.

We should and I expect will have to take a leaf out of Italys book sooner rather than later.

We also have a veto so the EU cannot force us, or ask us to leave if we refuse them.

Some were, what purpose do you think Ellis Island has?? America at that time was a developing country that needed cheap labour. Ireland now, is not and does not.

What has that got to do with anything? The question is, do you think the Irish didn't deserve the chance to fight for theirs and their families lives by fleeing to the US? What the US needed is irrelevant, it's about what the Irish that were in serious trouble needed.

And you ignored my first question. Conveniently.

What gave the Irish more of a right? 'Legality'? One group was fleeing famine, the other famine and war. Both should be taken in. To your second question, every EU country should take in a number established by the size of the country, how the economy/jobs market is doing, etc. It's what makes us Europe. It's what makes us better than the yanks across the sea. We preserve, we create, they destroy. If you want to use foolish, reductive and dismissive terminology like 'the libs' maybe emigrate yourself and go join them in the US.

People who like dogs are idiots?

I don't like or trust people who don't like dogs. They are oddballs.

Dogs offer unconditional love and friendship that most people can't.

They don't give a crap if you earn a million a year or are homeless.

To a dog, an owner is the centre of their world.

I feel sorry for those who haven't felt the warmth of a dogs love.

I've felt the bite of a dog and cleaned many a dog feces off of my shoes if that counts? :PAC:

I'll take back the "idiot" comment and say that people who gush about feeling warmth and unconditional love from an animal which is known to harass and attack humans and sh*t in public spaces (and known to sniff sniff and consume waste) are... oddballs.

To a human in a civilised urban space a dog is a potentially fatal threat and a source of filth.

and to the rest of us , a dog is a great friend that knows when your sad or happy, knows to leave you alone at the right times and cuddle up to you when you need it. a dog is a great companion , even better than a human sometimes. a dog doesnt need all the crap that us humans do. food shelter and love is all a dog needs.

dartboardio · 01-08-2018 11:54PM

Well no , whatever genders I recognize I certainly don't recognize 'bi gender' or 'gender neutral' or 'I believe I was born to be the opposite sex so I shall act on that accordingly'

Anyway, I dislike dogs and this is a near-universally unacceptable opinion. There are far too many dogs in urban areas. The barking and public defecation attracts my ire the most.

India is running a campaign to eliminate public defecation.

Ireland appears to think that public defecation is just fine.

Does it really matter which species of sh1t it is I'm expected to dodge? If a supposedly developed country is accepting of sh1t on the streets then something is badly wrong.

And the dog owners who allow it should have their noses rubbed in it.. daily...forever.

that's... pretty warped tbh and imho indicates a severe lack of emotional maturity. People can be difficult to deal with, yes - that's what makes them worth dealing with.

Unconditional "love" from a species too dumb to know the difference between sh1t and food is worthless.

The good, ordinary people who are involved are "useful idiots" and the institutional church treats them with utter contempt.

and it is not an inherently bad organization.

It is and has been an inherently bad organisation throughout its history.

Stuff from the past such as the Laundries etc were there because our parents/grandparents thought they were the correct way to do things. The Church weren't armed - the Church had influence in these things because people gave it to them.

They were brainwashed from birth, and anyone who joined the dots and wasn't smart enough to keep their head down and mouth shut got ostracised, or worse.

Walking home earlier today I was accosted by a dog who seemed to wanted to sniff me or something - whatever that annoying thing is that they do when they wander over to strangers uninvited... Hmm, guess it didn't know I'm not happy about dogs coming near me. The dog's psychic antenna for knowing when a happy human wants attention must have been down.

anewme · 02-08-2018 12:02AM

Dogs way more likable than many humans.?

Not sure if that would be deemed an uacceptable opinion or just the norm as accepted.

Dog might have sensed you are an unfriendly oddball who does not like them.

their Antenna is good at that.

i dont think its warped in any way. humans are very selfish , often complaining and fighting with each other. humans are pure head wreckers at times.
i can only think of about 10 people that i would rather spend a lot of time with ahead of a good dog.
you can think thats sad but it is true.

as for the ****ting on the ground. there are a lot of humans that do that too. i have seen it several times. you would go on the ground too if you had nowhere else to go

Y'see there are "good" dog owners who put their dog's feces into little bags - and leave them on the ground nearby, throw them into bushes, hang them on nearby tree branches, discard into bins not designed for biological waste etc. And then there are the "bad" dog owners who don't put the feces into a bag after it has defecated in public.

One is more accepted than the other. Both are disgusting and revolting.

I never mentioned the Irish.

Makes us better? Are you going to formulate all policy based on feelings? More daft lefty nonsense.

The only thing that will be destroyed with unchecked illegal immigration is our country.

Sure... and figuring out other people and making an important emotional connection with them can be hard... that's what makes it rewarding and special when it happens.

A dog is just a stepford wife without the cooking and (hopefully) sex. You might as well have a robot follow you around all day saying "I LOVE YOU" in its synthetic voice. Somehow I don't think that would be too socially acceptable.

im not saying a dog replaces a good relationship and good friends.
but a dog can come very close to replacing average friends

You might think you can wriggle out of it with intellectual dishonesty, but it won't work. Firstly, Ireland is part of a union, so it's not just our rules. Secondly, it is within our rules to accept fugees. You can drop the idiot band reference, you're not funny. The Irish got their chance to survive, those currently in a situation should be allowed the same. You're attitude comes down to "**** you got mine" which just seems borderline sociopathic to me.
