Mine is. Other than my family there literally are no other humans on the planet that I consider to be more important than my dog. Why should I consider that they are?
As I said some hysterical dog owners think that way, I'm sure you and your dog have shared some very happy times together and it is very special to you.

Other people's children are quite often horrible, spoilt, self entitled little sts.

Multiculturalism is a waste of time.

If you have kids then FFS don't constantly whinge about how expensive they are to keep rolleyes

Religion is a ridiculous medieval anachronism
Sorry to labor this point as I risk derailing an excellent thread but none of those are unpopular opinions especially on here you are just some person venting stuff many people agree with. Religion, again ffs so unpopular you're very brave for tackling that hot potato (sarcasm just incase)

Have we done race. I'll do one, mixed race people are genetically superior to less diverse humans. Subjectively they are more attractive but objectively they have stronger immune systems, linked to better cognitive skills, taller and potentially culturally more aware and educated. Again social and economic situation of individual cases will vary widely. I'm not mixed race but the more the merrier for me.

I love all animals, dogs, cats, had a really superb budgie that adored me. But as much as I love those pets, faced with the prospect of choosing a human life over any animal I loved, I'm sorry, but the animal would get it. No question.

Edit: except vloggers. And Corbyn. And eco warrior types (especially the white ones with dreadlocks)

Not for me, if I had to choose between you or my dog, or pretty much anyone on the planet or my dog then sorry, you’re toast. Don’t see why we think we’re more important than any other species.

Don't get the love for prosecco. Why not just drink champange?

Sceptical of fad diets (Atkins, 5:2 etc.)
Prosecco tastes better than champagne if you have a preference for sweet things. It is also (on average) considerably cheaper.

Pretty obvious really.
Nobody drank Prosecco before 2008. It’s known as recession-Champagne for a reason...

A 'sporty' suspension setup on a compact executive diesel saloon* doing 20k+ miles pa because you want to feel as though you are driving a sports car is an unwise decision. If you want that experience of driving a sports car, order your company car in SE spec and buy a cheap rorty shed (Elise/Exige/MX5/TF etc.) for hooning around in. With the money saved on trim you could order a larger engine** - and order your car in colour.

Thank you. Is Prosecco therefore worthy of being put in Room 101 A Bit Council?

I think you got lost on the way to the popular opinions thread.

I'am not 100% sure but I would imagine that Prosecco was costumed in Italy pre 2008! wink

Modern humans been around 80k years. White people, been around for only 10-15k years, are descended from Indian/Middle east region, so anyone mixed race, living east of Indian will be more genetically similar than you would think.

I agree with this completely. Wheels the same size of a Boeing 747's doesn't help either.

Why not just get rid of all public services, and everyone has to pay for what they consume. Pay for your refuse collection, pay for your local library, pay a toll for every road you drive on, pay an access fee for every park you visit, pay every time you go the doctors, and so on, and so forth.

Oh, wait, because the whole point of a fair, progressive and modern society is we all work together to make life better for all, not the privileged few.
You forgot defence - that's a tricky one. But feel free to give as much as you want to whoever you want. Or define "fair".

I'm with you on that.

My wife, mother, sisters and families, and my dog.

Everyone else is far below my caring scale

A 5.5-litre V8 petrol engine in an estate car is perfectly acceptable and being understressed will probably keep going and outlast many hybrids and cars designed to be 'environmentally friendly' (not mine):
