443 pages in and so many people have suggested that the earth is overcrowded. I present the same opinion, with a different tone and a possibility for achieving a less populated earth and there are so many apparently incensed by this and I should actually kill myself. For christs sake, it's a thread about unpopular opinions. There is a life beyond PH you know.

For such a small opinion (seemed mild to me and the point of this thread), you really have stirred up a nice reaction, from machine gunning everyone you see, to, cutting charity to allow people starve and die, to killing yourself/family to prove a point, to full on Nazi style mass murder.

Bravo! clap
Thanks

At least someone gets the point of the thread. There are some very snowflakey people on here today laugh

Absolutely fking pig sick of hearing this one. Nobody who proposes this ever seems to then take a machine gun to themselves and their entire family to help out. Until you're prepared to do that, shut the fk up.

Trying to forget the B-word for a moment - stop laughing, please - one thing I believe is we'll find out, perhaps a few months later than your prediction, two things.

One, was TM at heart a pragmatist who failed at rationalism? Two, will the 2010 changes to the 1922 Committee actually give them more power?

Not at all, Africa is the only continent where starvation is endemic; whatever the reasons, it cannot / will not feed itself. I don't see the point of giving handouts to feckless white people to breed further feckless white people either.

Here's my unpopular opinion.

I think that given what she inherited, Mrs May hasn't done a bad job...I'd nearly go so far as to say she's done a good job.

Talk about being handed a poisoned chalice...and I bet she knew this was coming when she took the job.

Never mind in nine months; all her fellow remaniacs must be in tears already.

That reminds me of that old joke;

How do you know if someone is a Vegan?

Because they tell you, repeatedly.
The new version of which is "How do you know if someone hasn't watched a single episode of Game of Thrones?"

TM was a pragmatist held hostage by a small number of extremists who gave her an impossible mission. The next guy is going to get the same impossible mission but as Frank eluded to, is going to do a far worse job of it.

Labour is only slightly better as it's a small number of extremists being held hostage by pragmatists.

I know it makes no difference but i totaly agree with your point, the population is exploding and needs to be reduced, it doesn't matter how it happens but the reality is it needs to.

She took the job because she's a career politician whose ultimate goal was to become PM, much like her predecessor (and most likely her successor).

Put her own ambitions before her ability to do the job , much like her predecessors.

I’d like her to disappear from public life , just for her own health.

So who do you think could have done the job better?

Nobody, every single politician in this country is a lying sack of st who is only in politics to either a) get their directorship with the massive salary at the end of their career or b) work out how to fleece the system.

And if she did she'd be followed around, and papped 'being care free/ enjoying a holiday/ whatever' having walked away from the mess she created.

Do you think thats the same for every job that anyone has?

It must be depressing to be inside your head. What about Frank Field - do you believe that of him ?

Farage one day, sadly, will become PM. It seems far fetched, but it happened in the USA with Trump.

I can certainly see him being the deputy PM after the next GE depending on how things pan out with Brexit. Can’t see how he’d become PM but then again you’re right about Trump! Stranger things have happened.
