    Don't think that opinion is particularly unpopular. It's one I agree with anyway.

    Actually, since you mention it, I'm going to put down an opinion which may be unpopular: we still need feminism even in western society where women are generally considered equal. There is still a lot of discrimination that goes on subconsciously that needs to be dealt with.

    Most of Speilberg's films are overrated as *.

    Chart music is much better than people give it credit for.

    Don't really think being a feminist is that unpopular of an opinion about 99% of people who say there against it are usually just taking the *

    Anyone in their right mind agrees with feminism. Just the forceful, men hating way that some feminists like to portray it is what irks people.

    I would say it's more they think of a feminist as a overweight 19-year old whining on their internet blog more than anything, rather than taking the * (and those kinds of "feminists" are annoying as *). And by definition feminism is about equality, whereas some people see it as woman trying to get more rights than men (so anyone who actually does that shouldn't really be considered a feminist).

    I don't watch much TV but I agree with this. Was watching OFAH the other day (Diamonds are for Heather) and I noticed they had cut a couple of lines: one where Grandad said " I shouldn't bother Rodney. They most probably just think you are a poof". I can't agree with this if that was in the original and that was what was said in the 80's then it should be kept or they are re-writing history.

    OFAH is a good one for showing how the world has moved on.

    I don't think any Fools fan would ever accuse John Sullivan of being a racist, bigot or mysoginist yet the language used in the early episodes would be seriously frowned upon nowadays.

    Fools is one of the most left wing shows out there yet back in the early episodes they talked of going to "the pakis" for shopping and thought nothing of denigrating women.

    That was considered kosher at the time though and is in no way reflective of the beliefs of the writer at the time.

    Totally agree with both of you. Watching Only Fools and Horses and Fawlty Towers shows you just how watered down and politically correct our television has become. Harmless humour like that is taboo but TV and film violence is apparently absolutely fine and gets more graphic by the year.

    Society has really lost sight of what's important when it comes to stuff like that.

    Hibs abandoned their heritage to fit in with the bigots. At least with Hearts fans you know what you are getting.

    Still * despise Hearts more myself. It's close though.

    Bertie Auld is *, jesus * christ. That should be an instant banning offence.

    It would be more than a banning offence if you said that to my face.
