    You'll have to expand a bit, why to what part?

    Both really. You don't really have to justify your opinions, but I'm just interested in hearing your reasoning.

    Do you think there's a lack of nationalism/patriotism? Where have you seen this and why do you think it's an issue?

    What benefit do you think having compulsory military service offers? Should this have the potential to include deployment to an active war zone?

    I couldn't DISagree more. I think we need way more pro-Irishness in society in general, especially in schools. AND youngsters should be made do a year in the army.




    My unpopular opinion - I hate tattoos.

    Think you will find the bolded bit would be pretty unpopular aswell ;)

    Whatever about the over-saturation of the World Cup on social and mainstream media, it pales in significance to the over-hype of the rugby equivalent. Taking this year's tournament as an example, Greece, Costa Rica and Algeria have all qualified for the last sixteen against all odds, with Greece and Algeria doing so for the first time in their history (and Costa Rica toping a group containing perennial powerhouses Italy, Uruguay and England), while the previous two World champions, Spain and Italy, have been sent packing in the group stages (Spain of course having won the last three major international tournaments). You wouldn't see any of the top teams in rugby suffer such ignominy so early in a World Cup.

    At the last rugby WC, Ireland beating Australia in the group stages was heralded (by the Irish media at least) as some sort of historic moment in WC history, even though Australia ultimately advanced further in the competition than Ireland. Yeah, you can point to Tonga beating France as a shock, but the French regrouped and got all the way to the final, so it didn't adversely affect their tournament.

    So basically what I'm trying to say is, yeah modern day soccer is littered with playacting and polluted with money and corruption, but that shouldn't be used as a stick to beat the World Cup with. It has been the best tournament I can remember in my lifetime, and is made all the more prevalent due to the fact that you actually have to qualify for it.

    Add to that the fact that there are **** all quality international rugby sides due to utter disinterest by most of the world and the only reason i can see that we hear about the sport so much is that we are fairly big fish in a little pond when it comes to it.

    I despise rugby anyway. I can appreciate a lot of sports but it's just unwatchable in my opinion.

    Yeah the millions upon millions of people who watched Friends could never understand Seinfeld :rolleyes:

    You've made me use the emoticon I hate most in the world. Thank you.

    Unpopular opinion: people need to stop supporting one of the most evil companies in the world (FIFA) and not watch or go to any world cup or other football matches.

    Its kind of an ott punishment for a taboo rather then being very dangerous
    In that case, spitting in a black players face and calling him a n*gger is a simple red card and 1 match ban. After all, it's not very dangerous.

    Friends may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I wouldn't put it on One Directions level as far as TV shows go. Maybe The Hills, Geordie Shore or something like that would have 1D's rank, but certainly not Friends.

    Obviously not taking into account - big tobacco, arms manufacture or the Catholic Church.
    FIFA is about as benign a global brand as you can get.

    Thats not too unpopular. Politicians historically make the mistake of thinking the views of corrupt quangos/NGOs (whos bosses earn 250k)/feminazi/religious lobbyists are the same as those of the people. Eventually politicians should be forced to admit that these quangos are set up primarily as a power, influence and money grab and that especially the religiously run ones are brought to you by the same folks who ran mother and child laundries and did their best to avoid responsibility for child rape and beatings etc. I personally don't give a rats ass about any of those issues above except for abortion.

    Please explain why you despise it. All sports are fascinating/boring when you look at them.

    Suarez's punishment was too severe.

    I thought his punishment was going to be far more lenient. I think what was handed down in the end was just. If it had been a first time offence I'd agree that it was too severe, but the guy has done this three times and appears to be learning nothing from it. He has a discipline problem that probably won't solve itself unless he faces proper consequences.

    My friend wrote this on Facebook and puts it in perspective.
    I bit a guy at work the other day ..really hard. When i bit him I pretended he shouldered my teeth really hard and that it was his fault. This happened at work so my boss has suspended me for 4 months on full pay. I was really surprised they didn’t fire me because you know biting people is bananas. Especially when you have done it twice before. Just saying...I’m clearly bananas and should be sacked. Just saying.

    I think the Irish sense of humour is based too much on sarcasm and people's honest opinions formed into "a laugh" and in fact most people are actually sly ****.

    I think Game of Thrones is over rated, it's ok to pass an hour but it's not half as good as Vikings.
