What are your unpopular opinions?
Discussion
There is no such thing as poverty in the UK.
Disagreeing with the notion that there are not enough black/Asian/ethnic minority company directors in the UK - surely if they were experienced/qualified/suitable for the roles, they'd be in them.
That it's utter nonsense that the FA must interview at least one black or ethnic minority candidate for future England roles.
Audi's are boring and all look the same.
Black wheels look terrible on any car they're fitted to.

king ridiculous .LBGT issues are a new fad for the professionally offended you can identify what ever option you like but don't expect the rest of the world to bend to accomodate your every whim.
Certain communities are buy an large are the source of their problems not the prejudice of wider society eg doing 35 in a 30 (prejudices) may have contributed to your accident but perhaps the more significant factor is you always drive drunk etc.

Why women are automatically given equal prize money in certain sports.
This is more frustrating in a particular sport where they obviously don't play for as long.
Equality is one thing, paying people purely on gender when it can be argued they don't generate the audience and associated revenue figures of men is another.
I'm all for women earning more than men if they deserve it.
Facebook on two levels.
For creating a society that has such a false online presence.
Secondly for making it clear that far to many of my friends are stupid and will happily copy, repost or answer any form of advertising links.

It's like female TV Presenters being given equal pay. Sometimes the male presenter is the greater draw.This is more frustrating in a particular sport why they obviously don't play for as long.

If a woman acts and/or dresses provocatively don't then moan you are getting attention that you don't like.
Everyone is advised to take necessary steps so as to not be burgled/have their car stolen/being mugged for their iphone, however if a woman is advised to dress and act less provocatively or sexy so as to not gather inappropriate attention, it is victim blaming, what's the difference?!

This is an interesting thread! I think there's a difference between unpopular on PH and unpopular in the wider world though.
A couple more I thought of:
The UK has far too much of an obsession with history and heritage. Our obsession with remembering and preserving everything hinders progress.
People who go on about how a manual gearbox is the only option for people who enjoy driving have fallen for a marketing trick just as much as people who think a paddleshift makes them a racing driver.

There's no bigger or soppier animal lover than myself and I've never taken part in hunting or field sports, but I can see an argument for any form of hunting being potentially beneficial for biodiversity, species conservation, habitat protection and the local economy... as long as it is PROPERLY regulated.
Yup. Not my thing, but if rhinos are naturally breeding at 20 a month, I have no problem with saying to a landowner "breed 100 rhinos a month, look after their natural habitat and you can charge whatever you want for a fat American to shoot half of them with a high powered rifle from a Jeep parked half a mile away like a big brave boy."Then you have 70 new rhinos instead of 20 and an incentive for people to look after them.
Numbers made up of course, but you get the point.

Marriage is a mug's game.
Women are just snakes with tits.
People with tattoo's need to be rounded up and executed.
I'm marrying a woman who keeps snakes, has tits and has tattoos. Is there any hope for me? Women are just snakes with tits.
People with tattoo's need to be rounded up and executed.
People who point out other people's grammar and spelling errors are the WORST. There's no need for the apostrophe in your post :-p

Social mobility is a problem. The acorn doesnt fall far from the tree. People hating on the poor never lived the life - were born into better circumstances and never had to earn it. Any genuine rags to riches people would never hate on the poor as they will understand just what it takes to break free.
Our children / grand children will spend the majority of their lives without secure long term employment. One day it will require a mortgage to secure a room in a multiple occupancy house the size of which would have once been enough to buy the whole house.
The increasing cost of living is the single biggest reason why the economy will only ever stagnate from here. It cannot be reversed and salaries cannot keep up. If salaries did increase to the extent necessary employers would scale up offshoring and automation. Its all down hill from here. It will never improve. Quality of life, disposable income, freedom, all on a downward trajectory.

Sky TV is the root cause of the breakdown of traditional society in this country.
ADHD is down to poor parenting.
British people are inherently xenophobic and more stupid and ugly than comparable people from other European countries.
People who voted for Brexit are either stupid, xenophobic or both.
