    The X Factor is Class (the first funny bits anyway) its gets far too serious after that...

    Hopefully in a way nothing to do with your ideas.

    What do you suggest?
    I reckon it has absolutely nothing to do with that. Going around wearing your pyjamas all day is a general fück you to society. The person is basically saying to everybody that they don't have to bother their holes getting dressed like normal people because they don't need to work. It's basically telling everyone you're powered by the dole.

    This!

    You mean the bits where the mentally feeble are put on public display so the mob can sneer at them? It's more a symptom of a scociety slipping into fascism IMO. I find this incredibly offensive:

    I agree with you up until the fascism bit but am intrigued and would like to know more about how you've made that apparent leap.

    Yeah life is pointless, but the alternative is even more so.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7,293 ✭✭✭1ZRed


    Call of duty is the biggest load of shite ever! No skill needed and you get owned constantly by packs of 10 year old kids.

    I still don't understand why people have been paying €50 for the same game since 2007 every year either.

    Exactly. People do things like licking assholes and don't worry about a piece of feces. Why wash your hands after using the toilet?

    Besides, if you spread a bit of the disease eventually people will become immune.

    It's not hygienic. If a woman was sitting in a café with pyjamas on she may spread infection. No underwear and feces or urine stained onto pyjamas and the risk of that being spread onto other members of the public.
    Hmmm.............


    Yes. I think it's ludicrous that someone wouldn't wash their hands after using the toilet. You can't justify diseases by saying that if we were exposed to them we'd become immune eventually. Everyone should wash their hands after using the loo. And those who do don't do it right half the time. Also it'd be useless washing your hands and "drying" them with a soggy towel, one which has gone through great use. The germs will multiply on that towel and you'll walk from the toilet with germ-fuelled hands.

    I hate Jersey Shore (very unpopular opinion especially around women or at least around ones I know!)

    Don't like X-Factor or any other talent show and pretty much every other reality tv show out there as there is way too many on. The X Factor especially wrecks my head every year, when I'm flicking through channels and come across it on a Sunday evening and contestants starts bawling after being told "NO!" for having an awful or mediocre voice, also X-Factor complaints block up my news feed on Facebook which drives me mental. For example "Its a fix!!" or "F**k Simon Cowell he's a prick" etc. They complain and bitch and moan about it year on year yet they tune in every year and keeping the show in business! Argh!!

    Don't like football (I am a bloke and don't like football, most guys would look at me like I have two heads if I say "I don't like football!". Not into the whole rolling around injured on the pitch when another player barely taps them, they get paid way too much and there is no pride aspect to the sport, more of the players aren't even from the cities they are playing for, and its more about buying and selling players also. I just never took to it, and nobody in my family is into it either. GAA is acceptable though.

    Guns N' Roses are one of the most overrated bands ever and get too much airtime on radio and tv, they haven't had a decent song in 20 years, Axl is a complete douche to his fans and has made pretty much the entire band quit and yet people will still go to their shows even after the Dublin incident in 2010 when he shows up late like most of GNR's shows, even though the band has attracted a new generation of fans, most of which are teenagers that may have travelled long distances to the once off Dublin show and may not have the funds to stay in Dublin overnight and may have to get buses home and they spent up to €70 for a ticket aswell as getting to Dublin. The people that walked out of the concert should have got a refund but didn't.

    Russell Brand isn't funny! (People tend to disagree with me on that one)

    Pop music is gone to shyte in the last 10 years. (FACT)

    Would you rather it went back to how gay and cringy it used to be in the 90s with all theshite boy bands?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,515 ✭✭✭zcorpian88


    Some 90's stuff was alright, but boy bands no thanks, Actually I like 80's pop music better probably because I was reared on it, some was chessy and some was catchy. Later on I got into modern and classic rock though which I prefer now and listen to a lot which made me hate modern pop music. Anything I hear on the radio now the lyrics of a lot of songs are too repetitive and I just can't listen to it without saying "Turn that frigging radio off!"

    Alright, N'sync, Backstreet boys and Westlife. I'm all in!

    Ill listen to Boyzone over Bieber any day. Never liked either but ill pick familiarity over annoyance.

    Oh baby baby baby ooooh...

    Again, Justin Beiber.

    You're losing this one.

    Oh I never said I was winning. This is a lose lose situation with that little gob****e.

    In fairness though I think pop music today has gotten better then what it was in the 90s. It was so desperate then it wasn't exactly hard.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,909 ✭✭✭Neeson


    You forgot to throw in 5ive as well. S-Club7 is another. Steps...

    Desperate in the 90's? There's a school of thought out there which suggests good pop music ended with the 90s.:pac:

    I have a serious amount of unpopular opinions..

    As a normal, young man I find that it is unpopular or 'uncool' to be conservative. I hold centre-right views so as long as I am not fighting 'the man', I'm part of the 'system' or I've been brainwashed. I wouldn't be as Socialist as the average Irishman either.

    I hold a healthy respect for people in the military worldwide whatever their reasons for joining. In this day and age of uber-social climbing, consumerism and instant gratification, people tend to sneer at the military in this country.

    I dislike Geordie/Jersey Shore, and any pre-packaged TV Show or music artist.

    I'm sure there are more to come

    Even if they joined out of hatred for Muslims?

    10% of people who take drugs will develop a problem, this 10% have different brains then the rest of us. But this 10% I guestimate cause up 70% of all crime. They are usually unemployable and are a drain on national resources as in welfare and the inevitable health problems. They also lift the tension everywhere and generally cause a lot of fear on our streets.

    So this addictive brain in these people and the consequences are treated as a criminal issue, there has to be a better way for both the addicts and society as a whole. Why not treat the problem as a medical issue. I don't know exactly how that would work, but surely there are smarter people then me that has some ideas. Be it a medical test to tell a person he is a potential addict or proper treatment in prison or with-in society. Methadone treatment is a joke, you can't treat addiction with another addictive substance.

    All I know is the current policy of dealing with alcohol and drugs is wasteful and clearly not working.
