    What is mad is that I remember seeing people in Times Square back in the 90s walking around dishevelled in appearance wearing a sandwich board and ringing a bell saying the world is going to end....nowadays...if you don't believe the world is going to end, you're the crazy one!!! That's 2020 for you!!!

    Something a friend said to me which I think is true.

    If you're a woman and gone through your 20s with little to no compliments, both wanted and unwanted from strangers (not family members), then you're probably ugly.

    If you think about it, women are said to receive more compliments on their appearance moreso than men. An attractive woman is going to get that to harrassment level from random people and in her 20s, she's in her prime so much more.

    I'm not a misogynist but don't you agree with what I'm saying. If a woman is constantly getting harassed by strangers (not condoning it), she's probably objectively attractive.

    Either you or your friend (have you actually.got friends) is an asshole to comep up with a moronic statement like that. Can you tell me is it the same friend that tells you everything, or are the voices in your head misbehaving again... Whatever it is you need some sort of treatment

    Someone who posts as frequently as the OP with pretty good grammar/syntax cannot possibly be a real life person.

    Imo because:

    They mention their height/ethnicity-nationality regularly. If true there must be 100s if not over a thousand people who either post here or just read the comments who would recognise them irl. I don't think they're stupid enough to actually discuss themselves in this manner.

    Who knows if this constitutes an unpopular opinion......

    I think a lot of their threads are funny, entertaining and thought provoking...

    Pretty much all anti-racist opinions are unpopular on this site. Unless the perceived victims are white.

    People who spout that kind of crap are incapable of judging others by anything other than their own lamentably low standards.

    Actually I am real. I'm black, 22yrs old and used to live in South Dublin but moved to Meath.

    To be honest, few people use boards. I even posted a popular girl in Trinity College in the "Most Beautiful Women In The World". Don't think anyone noticed her. And that's pretty unusual given that Ireland is said to have not more than three degrees of separation between people.

    I hope you got her consent before plastering the poor woman's pic on the Internet.

    Did you have to move due to a restraining order?

    Posting a girl's pic without her consent is creepy and potentially illegal, definitely violates copyright and privacy.

    Definitely grounds for her to register a complaint against you with Trinity college.

    To be honest, the picture was on her public Facebook page. I didn't steal it at all. Plenty of people also post pics of their friends, SO's (not revenge porn but to garner whether they're attractive or not). Is that illegal? Surely a website wouldn't allow that.

    I’d of thought that’s actually a popular opinion. I know that I can think this at times when you see certain children act but it could equally be to do with developmental issues down to many different factors.

    It’s easy to brand a child bold when you don’t know the underlying reasons for their behavior. And society loves to isolate “different” children/people who don’t fit into our conformed way of living, which includes the 9-5 cradle to grave rat race that’s completely ludicrous.

    I’m ardent fan of Donald Trump as US president and defend him here against the many truly ignorant posts.

    You can ignorantly accuse me of "whataboutism," but what it really is involves identifying similar scenarios in order to see if it holds up when the shoe is on the other foot!
