Unpopular opinions that you hold.

[Fingerprint]

I'm just interested to find out the opinons answer bank members hold that they beleive to be unpopular amongst wider society, they can relate to anything from trivial to highly controversial issues.

[Maggie-Mae]

I beleive that schools/children have too much school holidays during the year, plus with added bank holidays and teacher training days. When I posted this on AB last year I was slated, so it does seem to be a bit of an unpopular opinion!!

[SaxyJag]

I don't believe in IVF for any reason whatsoever. I believe it's against the laws of nature and that if a couple can't conceive naturally then there's a reason for that, even if we don't know what it is.

Oh, and I'm pro-hunting.

[lightoftruth]

i believe that all life if of equal value. i.e animals and humans are the same

[goldenboy]

i believe the daily mail to be a scaremongering pile of toss

[jenstar]

I believe that CCTV should never ever be used in public places. Twenty years ago everyone agreed with me. Sticking to my guns on this one has cost me a hell of a lot but what's the use of having principles if you sell out as soon as it gets inconvenient?

[Ward-Minter]

Where do I begin?

1) Bring back torture

2) Introduce Eugenics

3) Give more power to white, hetrosexual males

4) Bring back corporal and capital punishment

5) Fight for/Reclaim The Empire

I could continue forever.

Some interesting answers so far. I definately agree with the daily mail one and also the cctv one. Not so sure about reintroducing torture!!! but then I asked for unpopular opinions.

I believe you should only be able to claim child benefit for your first three children.

[ll_billym]

Any address, even number 10 Clarion St.

Well I think that all illegal drugs should be freely available to anyone that wants them.

Well thats the crime rate down by 80%.

[andy-hughes]

I believe that alcohol is an evil insidious drug, far more dangerous and corrupting than heroin, and it is a tragedy that it has grown up to be a culturally acceptable form of physical damage. It should be banned from the planet

[SarCaustic]

What makes you think you wouldn't be sterilised if eugenics were to be introduced Ward-Minter?

[jump79]

I once put up a question here on women's pay and the wage gender gap and my God, you wouldn't believe the response (mostly negative) I got (majority of it from males). So I guess that would count as a fairly sore point and a highly unpopular opinion to bring up in this forum, with some very sensitive people about.

[alijangra]

I think brothels should be legalised in this country, take the prostitutes off the streets.

[undercovers]

that the UK's criminal justice system is not perfect it is much better than any alternative seen in the world today or previously.

Ward-Minter why have you posted here, your opinions (except no. 2) are all very popular with the vast majority these days - not popular with me but the thoughts are constantly expressed and warmly welcomed in many sections of society.

[willspal]

I think that sending a child under 6 months to a nursery 5 days a week is cruel and very very unfair. I still think sending a child over 6 months to nursery for 5 long days a week is bad but I do understand some people have no other option but still................

I think some parents need an afternoon being pelled with rotten eggs and worse in the middle of their village/town for how they are dragging up their children.

Anyone who allows a child/young adult to become obese should be forced to attend some type of education programme about healthy eating and they should be slammed with a fine and then perhaps they would not have the money to keep buying the junk.

It's OK for a man to wee in a sink if he runs the water

[1rovert]

I agree with you Dicko_82, but I would say only two. If couples want more, they should pay for them.

[Oneeyedvic]

1) Great question

2) Agree with school holidays

3) Agree with IVF

4) No child benefit at all - you want them - you take care of them

5) No benefit of any kind. HOWEVER - free 'wholesome' food to anyone who wants it at 'drop in ' centres.

6) Agree with ban on alcohol (Even though I drink, too many people can't drink properly)

7) We should not have a democracy but elections for a dictator every 4 years. The buck stops here!

8) All scaremongering media to be banned - and possibly Private Eye to be force read to people.

9) All homophobic racists to be tortured and sterilised. ;-)

I think that if mothers stayed at home to look after their own children until they left school, there would be less vandalism and thuggery. Why have children if you then go straight back to work to let someone else look after them.
