I agree to a point.

However, consider this. these people can still drive and reproduce.

In American they can own guns.

Drinking on front of kids because the psychological effect it has on their future lives.

Impossible ask, I get that. But certainly needs to be more awareness in this area.

Can you give more detail. I like a few pints but I wait till the 18 month old is gone to bed. I just don't like doing it in front of him

Plus on the other end of it rise and shine at 6:30 sort of takes the good out of a few!

Transphobia and toxic opinions.

Voice controlled systems.

A complete disaster waiting to happen, and usually used by lazy fu*ks that are too lazy to simply get up off their arse to press a button.

Alcohol abuse not social drinking

The awareness is already there among social workers etc.and some of the general public

Social drinking is good modelling

Children exposed to parents alcohol abuse has devastating effects

What's the reasoning behind banning drinking in front of kids?

Saudi funding of Mosques and schools outside their own retrograde country.

Wouldnt worry about it, with their petro dollar income severely curtailed likely forever this kind of carry on will stop fast.

Saudis foreign reserves have dropped from $732bln in 2015 to $499bln at end of 2019. When the oil money runs out and how badly managed alot of their investments have been comes to light then there will be real trouble in that part of the world.

Having bad teeth is a medical issue that needs to be addressed. This isn't an issue or at least it shouldn't be.

Getting dental work done purely for cosmetic purposes is another issue entirely and shouldn't be prioritised for more important health issues.

Therein lies the difference in my views. This logic extends to the rest of your body.

As I've mentioned, if your are considering plastic surgery then doing it for reasons of vanity is foolish and unnecessary and is futile without addressing any underlying psychological or personality issues that might exist.

Most people who have orthodontic work do it for cosmetic reasons.

We need to introduce that Chinese social credit thing here. So we can weed all these undesirables out of society.

Will there be anyone left to do the weeding?

Using “superfluous” and “inexplicable” quotation marks “ad nauseum” when posting on this “forum”. It’s a tired “gimmick” that should be “called out” by those in charge.

Is that a problem in Ireland? Living in Germany, and you never see dog poo anywhere, everyone cleans up after their dog.

We should ban the stupid plastic stickers on apples that tell me what I already know, the apple type. Serves no purpose except to get stuck in teeth.

The first stepping stone for this would be banning/limiting the amount of plastic businesses can use as packing, such a huge amount of plastic is nothing but excess packaging for visual promotion or shelf space.

Ridiculous amount of plastic waste

The ability to close threads or turning off comments on articles (like The Journal do).

Funny how people can comment on Irish Times or Independent Facebook page articles on so-called “controversial” stories - yet here and The Journal close things because of “legal reasons”. Sounds like a ruse to me.

What would you most like to see banned ?
