One of mine. Kylie Minogue should have stopped writing new material 2 decades ago. It's embarrassing watching her try to act and sing like someone who is Taylor Swift's age.

| Isn't it just unpopular to have an opinion about Kylie Mingoue? |

I didn't know Kylie ever wrote her own material.

^ Nor did I - but a google search turns up a Wikipedia page listing 110 songs attributed to her.
There is, I guess, a certain incongruity in doing the same search for Ray Davies and turning up a list of just 145 or for Lennon-McCartney and turning up a list of just 193. Which, I suppose, raises the question, will Rolling Stone ever publish a stand-alone book called "The 100 best songs of Kylie Minogue"? They did it for The Beatles and, of course, every one of the 100 is a banger - but none approach the greatness of "Automatic Love". |

110 songs she wrote? Be lucky if 5 of them were half decent. In regard to The Beatles, my unpopular opinion is that they're massively over rated.

^ not so much the Beatles, but John Lennon is massively overrated. And the Doors are shit too.

Supermarkets should bring back plastic bags.

^ I do not think that is an unpopular opinion. I agree with you, in addition, they should be for free.

Surely you are joking? If you are not I am really surprised and I would like to know why you think that?
We need less plastic.

Kylie didn't write it - Cathy Dennis and Rob Davis did. |

I am kind of joking, in the sense that I understand why it's bad for the environment to have so many plastic bags ending up in landfill (and everywhere else), and I agree that supermarkets are probably doing the world a favour by phasing them out. But on a petty, personal level, it's pretty frustrating to have to pay 25c each for paper bags that are near guaranteed to fall apart on the way home and that you can never reuse. (One of the big factors here is that I don't own a car, so have no choice but to carry groceries home by hand – I hope others will pick up on the irony there, if we're talking about environmental impact!)
Personally, I don't think my own environmental footprint has really changed – when plastic bags were still available at Coles and Woolworths (the old grey soft plastic ones, and then the tougher ALDI-style ones you had to pay for in the past few years), I often reused them, or else they would end up serving as kitchen garbage bags. Now, instead, I'm just buying rolls of plastic garbage bags, so as far as I can tell I'm still contributing the exact same amount of plastic to landfill as I did before; the only thing that's really changed for me is the inconvenience of going to the supermarket. But I do appreciate that there are more important things in life than inconvenience.

Exactly right David, people still need plastic bags for garbage so they are just having to buy bags instead and probably using more plastic.
There is not a single plastic item that has been replaced in the name of the environment that has been better for anyone.
Paper straws will definitely go down as the most useless thing of all time, just ahead of the aforementioned paper bags that can’t hold anything. |
