Unpopular opinions you hold

Says it all really.

Another unpopular opinion that I hold is that examples of stupid people behaving stupidly don't necessarily invalidate a perfectly legitimate concept - which is sensible if applied correctly.
 
Massively overrated.
This is a popular opinion [The Beatles]

True. A lot of people who complain about H&S would be the first to hoy a claim in as well.
There are also lots of H&S stories accepted as gospel that are bullshit. A good example is the one that schools are not allowed to grit the paths when it is icy. It is repeated on here every year. It has been proven to be bullshit yet people still believe it to be true and worryingly, some schools might not even grit the paths for fear of getting sued.

I think this is where H&S has gone wrong, the school ends up in a lose lose position. If it grits the path and someone falls over and gets grit embedded in their knee they are at risk of a complaint/legal action from an angry parent.
If they don't grit the path and a kid slips over and breaks a collar bone - ditto the risk of complaint etc.

My unpopular opinion is that we should accept sometimes both to take responsibility for ourselves and to accept that accidents can and do happen and we shouldn't go suing all and sundry every day.

My intellectual southern mates see me as a crass northern yob whereas my crass northern yob mates think I'm a soft southern intellectual. Can't win Harry.
You can take northern and southern out of this and it still makes sense.

Agggh I can't even edit it! Hopefully it makes sense.

Concurred.

I massively distrust anyone who dislikes the Beatles. I can accept people not liking them, but disliking them is just going too far.

It's not the band itself that are disliked as much as the wankfest surrounding them.

Immigration is dividing the country and creating the potential for civil unrest.

Organised religion is a pile of shit.

Thats just for a start.
 
Every single ( and married) person on Earth has racist tendencies and 'stick to their own'
This doesn't make racism correct mind.
