Unpopular Opinions.

Another unpopular opinion of mine is that Dublin is a shoddy capital city and in need of a major make over...especially around the city centre.

Vested interests and a cabal of self styled experts in corduroy trews and elbow patch tweed jackets are preventing our capital from becoming a modern trriving city with plenty of tasteful high rise around designated areas in city centre.

Who are these people ...who appointed them ....what is their age cohort ?

I would like to know......

High rise buildings are a lot of things, but unless your in Dubai, they are certainly not tasteful.

Because in a lot of the races for example the world record time would only just qualify a man to represent his country. They aren't stand out in their sport, just in their sex. Its sexist that they get to go to the Olympics where faster people than them can't.

Has anybody mentioned that our national anthem is shockingly bad. Tune and lyrics are awful.

Probably wouldn't have been so bad if they'd left it in its original English format. At least then there would be a possibility that most of the population would bother to learn it.

1. They're nobody
2. No-one appointed them
3. They don't have an age cohort because...

4. You've just imagined them. They don't exist.

I suppose you will say that pikeys are gentle caring people...with the menfolk moisturing every day and helping old ladies across the road ?

The women paragons of virtue and the kids well behaved with respect for authority and an insatiable thirst for knowledge ?

Tell me ....do you live in a land where there are lemonade springs and the bluebird sings on a big rock candy mountain ?

Where did he even indicate he thinks the above about travellers? Can it only be the above or the negative or something?

I have no problem saying I think there is a lot wrong within traveller culture, and a high proportion of very anti social behaviour, but there are some very decent travellers, and to say it's in their "genes" to steal is just a lie and silly, even if many of them do - but it's not "in their genes".

At least rape victims in India can get an abortion (if wanted)

The whole topic is disgusting. However the point restated is that it is much harder to take criticism from a hypocrite even if that criticism could well be valid. It is impossible to take moral lecturing from a hypocrite seriously. In fact they do any issue a dis service simply by association.

You won't have Indians claiming to be better than us in how they treat our women AFTER the revelations about a deep rooted rape culture in their society but many of them were certainly giving that false impression. Even our own media were misrepresenting Indians to try give that impression. Reality cannot be hushed up for long. Consider a recent drug rape case in the courts and the nationality of the convicted. It's the pious perfect criticizer who I resent, not criticism itself.

Why?

Also, I know this is an unpopular opinions thread and I'm hardly crying about it, I'm not that sensitive to the opinions posted on here and I think it's a good idea for a thread. But the "opinion" posted about Travellers is ridiculous and just shows the nature of AH. If you replaced the word 'Travellers' with 'black people' you would be banned instantly. Hell, I got banned making a post which I think has been deleted now where I was sarcastically making generalisations about black people in a response to some anti-women sh1te. Just shows you can make generalisations on AH about certain sections of society (women, Travellers) but not others.

That's my unpopular opinion maybe :pac:

Except that several people were banned.

My unpopular opinion is that you should all make the effort to read the forum charter before going off on racist rants.

I don't know if I'd agree that they're overrated but the Ramones were a lot better.

"The only band that mattered" is obviously going a bit too far and I say that as a huge Clash fan but tbh I don't know all that many people that listen to them. Maybe it's just my social circle.

Fat women are unattractive and not 'curvy' - they're fat.

Curvy is nice. Fat is not. Some can be moderately overweight and be 'fat' and some can be very overweight and be curvy. Depends on body type.

As demonstrated above- It depends on who you ask!

Bottle feedimg is best opotion. Why should the women ruin her boobs when she can just bottle. Man happy, baby happy and mammy doesn't need to wear clothes during sex to cover saggy boobs. Win win

Madam_X · 10-01-2013 09:00PM

Breastmilk is considered the most beneficial form of sustenance for a newborn, and if a mother can provide it (a lot of women find it too difficult/painful - but yay, at least their boobs stay looking good... ish... after the effect of pregnancy and birth on them) she's going to be more concerned about her newborn baby's diet than how her boobs look. Crazy, I know.
Women often express their breastmilk into bottles for feeds later on but they're not always going to have the time and energy to perform that rather gruelling and longwinded task, so instead... just lob it in. Handy when you haven't had a proper sleep in weeks.

Where DO you get your ideas? :pac:

Women don't ruin their breasts when breastfeeding, some women can certainly find it painful alright, I know my wife did initially, but saggy boobs and wearing clothes during sex?? You can't seriously be thinking that surely?

I've 3 kids - tried to breastfeed first one - didn't work out. Didn't try with second two.
Even without the breastfeeding, the toll of pregnancy has forced them towards the carpet!
Waiting for a few extra grand to fall into my account one of these days so I can get a boob job.
In reality, I probably won't get enough money until I'm 65 - I'll take pics of the surgeons shocked and disgusted face when I go in for you all
