Unpopular Opinions.

kupus

Unions are a pyramid scheme/scam where the obliging members pay and only the top get the cream. And like everything in Irish life lately the top don't care about the bottom.
Yes I dont like unions.

Hardly an unpopular opinion. I think it would be more unpopular to have it the other way around. Which I'm going to put out there now:

The Sopranos is better than The Wire.

As much as I loved "The Wire", Sopranos is much better.

Sopranos and the wire were both crap. Now there's an unpopular opinion

The pain during child birth is vastly overrated...

I for one agree with this statement, it has to be overrated, if it was really that bad then we would all be an only child. Nobody would ever decide to go through "that much pain" voluntarily.

NegativeCreep

I think the broodiness and desire for another child out-ways the memory of the pain from having your last child. I have no doubt that it's incredibly painful but 'the.most painful thing in the world's is an exaggeration I'd say.

I'd say being hung by your thumbs or shot in the stomach or having acid poured in your ears might be a bit worse, and there are none of those lovely hormones to help you through it.

No doubt child birth would be painful but having your fingers pulled off with pliers or having your throat slit open is far worse again.

And with an epidural, wtf are ye bitching about?

I'd say the pain is on a par with a mediocre tootache... A few years ago I went on a major bender for 3 days consisting only of guinness, doner kebabs (Abrakababra of course), chicken chow mein, prawn roan and prawn jalfrezi. The fourth day consisted of close proximity to a lavatory... No big deal

I've done it 3 times now.
First 2 without epidural, latest one with.
The epidural is AMAZING!!!
The only part that hurt was the pushing - and that still did hurt like hell!

The thing is though, you can't always get an epidural.

Was the shít you had the size of a football, took 13 hours of you pushing to get it out and ripped your ass so bad you needed stitches?
If not, "John", you're not qualfied to comment.

This I believe is the problem with measuring the actual pain threshold of child birth, any time such a topic arises then inevitably exaggeration always seems to follow - I have never seen a child born which is similar diamater to a football...

I just don't understand when women say things like "It's like trying to push a watermelon out of your nose"

Except of course for the fact that my nose isn't biologically designed to have watermelons pushed out of it

Agree.
I watched the whole first series online over the summer coz I was told it was the best show ever.
I kept waiting for it to get better - it didn't!

Then I watched all of Breaking Bad - now that's an amazing show!

Getting pulled for morning after drink driving is completely unfair, especially if you've had a good kip the night before.
You are of a completely different mindset while on the way up than on the way down.
Ringing your boss saying you won't be below 2 units until 11:30am is hardly feasible now is it.

You know the practical solution to that? Don't drink copious amounts of beer the night before you have to work.

You say copious but it easily enough done.
There's about 10 units in a bottle of wine & 2 in a can of beer.
So if I drink 2 cans at 9pm followed by the wine & finishing midnight there's still 11 units in my blood going to bed.
If I pull out my drive at 8am for my morning commute I've still about 3 units in my system which they say is over the new cut off.
Would you consider me a danger to other road users ?.

So, in your opinion, is 2 cans of beer and a bottle of wine not a lot to drink?

Toothache and earache are way worse than childbirth according to my OH. I've never experienced any of them first hand so have no idea really.

Well I've had earache before when I was younger and remember clawing at my head to try and make it stop. I seriously doubt its anywhere near as bad as childbirth though.

If I had to suffer one, I'd take the earache.

The pain experienced during childbirth would vary from woman to woman I think, depending on the size of the baby as well.

Fanny's are loose, elasticated fabrics. They should take the stretch. Toothache is a different kettle of fish.
