Carnivore Chris 2,606 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Instagram - I've always thought that was simply just a site for birds around the ages of about 19-25 to post half naked pictures, etc. I've never had an account on there, but i'm all for it... Facebook - It used to be great when it first came about in order to get back in touch with old school mates, etc, and also keep in contact with current mates and buy drugs, etc back in the day(you could always count on facebook for a gram of coke at 5am on a sunday morning ). It was even a decent tool for pulling women on, with it just happening, rather than coming across as forced and desperate like dating sites. But these days, it has completely lost its appeal, is full of people who pose as though their life is far better than it actually is and it becomes tedious in fairness. Twitter - I had an account on there for a short period but it's woeful really. I don't see the point in it at all. Tinder - I signed up once and deleted it straight away as it seemed ridiculously shit. I've been on POF and Badoo, more out of curiosity and for a laugh than anything and they are better, even though they aren't great themselves. Netflix - One of the best inventions in years to be honest. Full of great series and original content. Better than the shit coming out on tele these days atleast. Spotify - I've never used it, but don't see the point when you can use SoulSeek for music. It's free and you can find literally anything on there. 21 hours ago, RandoEFC said: Instagram, Snapchat, Tinder, iPhones, basically anything else that's been popular in the last decade.

Yeah if you spend too much time in the sun without sunscreen then the sunburn can certainly can be very painful later. But I meant more the actual process of sunbathing; just lying around in the sun for hours. Boring af and too hot... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toinho 2,210 Posted September 23, 2019 Share Posted September 23, 2019 Sunbathing is mad. I enjoy a little time in the sun at the beach but mostly I’m incredibly concerned about being burnt as I burn super easy. When I went to barcelona many years ago my mate spent the whole day on the beach... I was like no chance mate, so I went to see Picasso’s museum instead.

You're mate is a fucking moron, why go to Barcelona for the beach when you boys could have driven less than an hour to a nice beach in Australia? That is like going to Belgium on a beer tour and only drinking Fosters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My older sister has been married for over 15 years, and they decided early on that Children aren't for them. While it devastated my mother, it really wasn't that major of a deal. Of course, I can't imagine how many times she was asked, 'so do you have any kids?', or 'do you want kids?'. I bet that gets old FAST. Of course the wife and I have one, a little precious one at that, and there are times when you second guess it because you don't get the same freedom and are carrying around a lighter wallet, but it was definitely the right choice for us.

Single woman with a Vietnamese kid how cool is that Noooo you got it all wrong, it's the other way around! Single men with kids is what makes every woman swoon On a serious note, adoption is definitely a good option. But just like with having my own biological children, I would only consider it if I was settled down and in a stable relationship with someone who really wanted kids. 9 hours ago, Berserker said: I agree with almost all of that but how dare you Inga!

Single woman with a Vietnamese kid how cool is that One of my bonehead ideas was to adopt a kid from some obscure country like Tonga or something and put him in a football academy in Peru. Become the first Tongan professional to play in the country and if he's good, then one of the first Tongans in Europe! I have no plans on getting married, let alone having kids. Society has made me way too negative to even consider it. I'm too much of a defeatist in my social life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think adopting is a wonderful thing and admire those who do that and those who become foster parents/carers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spike 5,103 Posted October 2, 2019 Share Posted October 2, 2019 I guess this is more of an 'unpopular' opinion but I digress. I find it odd and kind of patronising when politicians 'play dress up'. I know it could be coming from a good place but I find it absolutely bizarre when PM Jacinda Arden wore a hijab after the Christchurch shootings. It is one thing to have respect for another person's belief and culture but 'playing dress up' for the sake of empathy would insult me. Especially when it is not a culture or religion that is practised personally. How weird would it be if someone dressed up like Steve Irwin if I were going through a tragedy? Imagine Ronald Reagan wearing a lederhosen during the Berlin Wall's Fall. Imagine if Bernie Sanders showed up to a rally wearing a poncho and sombrero in defiance to 'the wall'. It's no different to when Trump ate a taco to prove he isn't racist. A bizarre gesture indeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
