Human life comes first. That doesn’t mean I love my dog any less then the humans in my family.

For me family come first, after that human life comes first in most but not all cases.

New Zealand is a shitehole of epic proportions, populated largely by backwards, red-necked racists who hate the indigenous people whose country they have stolen and fucked up.

NoSauce · 24/04/2019 13:48

When I say human life I’m referring to family.

Ok Smile there are some people where I would rather save a butterfly from trouble!

Or alternatively:

The UK is a shitehole of epic proportions, populated largely by backwards, red-necked racists who hate the indigenous people whose countries they have stolen and fucked up. . .

Smile

I'm sure both are equally true. . .

Absolutely!

Loving and treating [DC and pets] are different.

You should have a different relationship with your pets!! They are not DC, and to confuse the two is odd and definitely not fair on either!Confused

NoSauce · 24/04/2019 14:07

Why do you assume I have the same relationship with my dog as I have my children? I haven’t said I do! Just that I love him the same amount. There’s nothing unfair going on here!

IceIceCoffee · 24/04/2019 14:19

People that forever go on about how breastfeeding is the best choice ever and formula is the devil need to get a hobby honestly sad women with little in their lives.

Smotheroffive · 24/04/2019 14:20

My comment was a random one that many do get DC/pets confused and treat the same, as I explained.

..but added further because of the dog attacking DC thing. I certainly couldn't kill my dc! I also don't know if I could kill any of my dpets either, but they could get harmed in the process of me beating them off any DC, of mine or others, hypothetically. Mine are more likely to be over-enthusiastic! The animals not the DC that is!

It's an interesting discussion around 'how much love'

Like you love your DC but also your partner,differently, and also friends, DPs, siblings, differently.

That nobody should be forced to respect religion. It's just a set of beliefs which people choose to follow, like any other kind of beliefs. We really should have grown out of simple superstitions in this day and age when science can explain most things.

IceIceCoffee · 24/04/2019 14:29

Discussion should be allowed about the Mccans I find it so odd and telling how much control they seem to have over what is published.

Being a parent isn’t a job. It’s a life choice

Phrases such as: ‘baby wearing’, ‘cloth bumming’ ‘boobing’ ‘gentle parenting’ and ‘contact naps’ are wanky and using such phrases does not make you a better parent than anyone else

Having a pet doesn’t make you a parent, it’s insulting to say that being responsible for a pet comes anywhere close to being a parent

Game of thrones is over rated

Women who smoke during their pregnancy do not care about the welfare of their unborn baby- this comes from someone who enjoys the occasional cigarette when not pregnant

I don’t think it’s fair that non working parents get to send their children to nursery when they’re two for free while the rest of us have to bust a gut just to be able to afford it

@IceIceCoffee
It's fine to talk about the McCanns - but engaging in daft unproven and unprovable speculation doesn't help anyone.
It's not unreasonable for them to be able to prevent people telling lies about them.

badlydrawnperson · 24/04/2019 14:48

Climate change is real but no-one is going to make the changes we would need to (as a World) in order to prevent it.
On here any hint of anything other than utter terror about it is frowned upon and yet we have a thread where the OP is being slagged for not wanting to fly to Spain for a holiday.

RomanyQueen1 · 24/04/2019 15:05

Romany gypsies should be allowed to travel and not be made to settle in concrete council sites.

CharbaLabaDingDong · 24/04/2019 15:06

There should be a two-child policy in the UK.

IVF shouldn't be NHS-funded.

Smotheroffive · 24/04/2019 15:10

That any woman's period makes her want to vom.

Smotheroffive · 24/04/2019 15:15

Travellers, in rejecting the whole property ownership ethos, by travelling, confuse by claiming large tracts of land to establish a static community on. Confused

Smotheroffive · 24/04/2019 15:17

In that you must have two DC Grin

What's the belief that opinion is based on?

CharbaLabaDingDong · 24/04/2019 15:19

I have one child.

I believe this country is overpopulated.

I genuinely don't understand why people have more than 2 children.

RomanyQueen1 · 24/04/2019 15:20

People thinking that travellers don't own their own property.
The popular belief we all leave mess.
Free speech not being so free on here.

People who smoke when walking on a narrow pavement with others walking behind them are selfish ignorant pricks.

Being a SAHM is not a job nor is it as stressful and pressurised as ‘work’

People who don’t like dogs are generally arseholes
