ok, i feel a weird saying this on here, but does anyone haave any views that if you said them people would think you were a little weird, so you just dont say them?
Mine is: i dont get all hyped up abour paedophiles. I think it's wrong and very bad, its just i think there are worser things. I never say this to anyone in case they think
1)im cold and heartless or
2)i'm condoning paedophilla (which im certainly not) i will state again, it is very wrong, but i just cant get all het up about it - either because i dont have any children or because i think the media hypes things around the subject too much without me adding to it.

What un pc views do you have that you are willing to admit to?

Oh, the other thing is i think recycling is naff

1) Pedos cause a lot of damage to a child and they serve a life sentence having to remeber their ordeal. Pedos get a soft sentence and that needs to stop!

However.... a teenager who is mature for their age say 13/14 can choose to have sex and I think thats different to being abused!

2) I try not to be predudice, but there is a part of me thats getting worried about this country and its unbelievable easy touch when it comes to immigrants. I wish we were harder to get into i.e. australia, canada!

Any crime involving harm to children is like a knife through my heart, and I'm with the 'no mercy' brigade on that one. My blanket heading for what justifies a death sentence would be 'robbing of innocence' so that would cover an awful lot.

Animal cruelty is sad, but in a different league, and just doesn't get me in the same way.

'Acts of God' / natural disasters? Awful, but beyond our control and I'm afraid I get a little 'compassion fatigue.' Having said that, my stepsister was one of the Brits lost in the tsunami, and her face was all over the papers. THAT was awful, and once I had a connection with someone lost to a natural disaster, it was a whole different thing. Since then though, I've had a little more feeling, but still begrudge the aid we're always sending.

DON"T get me started on benefits and the like. We have one income and I stay at home with the boys. We struggle to afford luxuries, but have kept our own home, own car etc the whole time I've not been working. Over the road on a council estate, there are satellite dishes on every house, cars that you wouldn't beLIEVE, motorbikes in many drives and everything else we can't afford, with most of the residents not working. A friend of mine - Health Visitor - says that inside it's often more of the same - huge tvs in every room, games consoles, huge fridges, dvds, plasma screens etc and nobody working. GGGggggrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Other than that, I'm the nicest person you could wish to meet lol!!!!!

No need to apologise, leg.

You have your views and are entitled to them :o) I don't wish to argue/debate on this thread and neither do I want to try and justify my views ~ as bednobs didn't ask for that.
