What, In Your Opinion Do You Find Obscene?

[Jeza]

Some will say porn.

For me it is the vast amounts of money paid for transfer fees and the wages paid to football players.

So over to you. What do you find obscene?

[tonyav]

Same as you Jeza, but not just footballers.

[DJHawkes]

books written about the true life stories of victims of child abduction and child murders. There is a certin type of customer that somehow needs to read these too, which i find disturbing. Generally i also find the books and publications about notorious crimes obscene.

[rockyracoon]

Whilst I agree that footballers are overpaid at least it's down to market forces, if fans want to pay silly money for season tickets that's up to them. What I find obscene is publc money being wasted, or fiddled.

[woofgang]

I am with Dot. Highly paid anybody is what the market will bear. If people didn't pay silly money to watch sport/films/bands and buy the associated merch then they wouldn't be paid such astronomical sums.
Books about true crime are cashing in on some of the worst impulses of human nature

[craft1948]

The price of housing which is beyond many young couples.................

[Zacs-Master]

The Jeremy vine show today going into details of that poor little boys torture at the hads of his 'parents ' there should have been a warning.

[LazyGun]

Abuse, I think. Abuse of innocence, Abuse of power, abuse of position, abuse of privilege.

[Zacs-Master]

Then we agree.

[Quoi]

For me it is the wages of the public sector - headteachers and man many more people earning wages higher than the PM - just how did that happen?
Who truly deserves 100k plus per year compared to the average wage.

Its criminal that average joe has to pay high taxes for it.

[Jeza]

Zac, I take it you mean J Kyle not Vine. You got mixed up as I did with Taylor and White. I won't slate you for it though, as you did.

[Zacs-Master]

Nope. Radio 2 (probably a bit high brow for you).

[Sharingan]

I agree anyone or anything which abuses power, betrays trust or defiles innocence is utterly vile be it towards children, sick people, old people, animals but by the same token I too am deeply disturbed and uncomfortable with all the 'real life stories' of child abuse, neglect and depravity. There is indeed a certian type of person compelled to read those and they make me uncomfortable too Dot.

[Sparkles62]

Wanton waste in its many forms, particularly the food that supermarkets throw away every day because of all the stupid best before dates, sometimes the fruit isn't even ripe yet, but is thrown in the skip because it has reached its best before date.
I greatly admire all the freegans who help themselves/steal ths waste from the skips.
The supermarkets should contact their local homeless centre or nightshelter and say to them, you send someone round here ten minutes before we shut every night and you can take everything we have got.
Even if they made them sign a disclaimer so they couldn't sue the shop because the food is past its sell by date.
You've got me started now, I just really really hate waste, when there is no need for it, and someone else could use it...........Ggrrrrrr

[Zacs-Master]

Agreed.

[Zacs-Master]

Sorry that was to sharingan.

[Jeza]

Zac, or should I say Count I'm more a radio 4 fan myself. I never watch day time TV. All I know of it is what I've read on here. Sorry if I misconstrued.

[Zacs-Master]

Apology accepted. It almost led me to make an ' angry of Tunbridge Wells' complaint but I didn't.

[ELVIS68]

Apart from the already mentioned child abuse, animal abuse etc I find it obscene the "celebrity status" dished out to nonentities of reality TV

[ChillDoubt]

I find it obscene that pro-life campaigners will do their utmost in preventing quadraplegics, MS sufferers, stroke victims and the like from choosing a dignified death of their own choosing, even though it's their only desire and wish and do so whilst completely compos mentis.

In fact I find it abhorrent.

My best friends widower is sitting in my front room now chatting to OH about his new relationship. I am in the kitchen and cringing at what he is saying about a new venture.
