Unpopular opinion in 3...2...1.

The in-laws have two dogs that are SUPER annoying and some of my friends have dogs that are also SUPER annoying (poorly trained, loud, etc). I'd rather another child.

 

True.

Either way I discipline with a very powerful need gun. I'm sure we can avoid bad behavior

 

Add me to that list

 

Doesn't matter. We WANT IT!!

 

5 years is about all you can get out of a daily used tire. Learned that the hard way on Cupcake's old Rav4, some ass way upsold her a few years ago and she got 70K tires when she drives 10K a year. Things had good meat but all the sidewalls rotted.

That said, with your storing the tires as you have I'd say if it passes the visual scrutiny you'd be good for the season.

 

You are the only one I have ever heard say a child is easier than a dog. People literally freak out all over the place if someone ever thinks to suggest that. I've been even attacked for claiming that 5 dogs is similar to like 1/2 a child.


I think your friends don't care enough to train the dogs different and are happy with how they are....sort of like how a bunch of little kids can be complete assholes but the parents think their angles..

 

And then there's the 27,000-42,000$ over the course of the dogs life, depending on the dog.
Where as a child raised untill 18 is 500,000$

 

And let's be honest, it's rare the kid who moves out at 18 anymore.

 

Who did I just wave to in Bow? Haha

Hasn't that age doubled?

 

God, I hope not...the kid is 19 though and just got his first job. I'm afraid I might be in for a long haul with this one.

 

Now hold on a minute... what age are we talking? Because infants are absolutely easy. Many times easier than any dog. They just sit and laugh and cry and spit up and poop and sleep. Occasionally suck on a bottle or mom. After they start walking? No contest, dogs are so much easier.

 

Are you guy's actually having a kids vs pets debate?

 

Watch out!

Mine turned 20 and moved back in with +2 (girlfriend and baby).

 

Maybe...

 

Dislike!

 

I don't have any kids but I know I'd rather have a dog than a kid, but I like other peoples kids!

 

I don't think it's a debate. More of an observation on the previous very rare comment/opinion about kids being easier than dogs. I don't have kids so I can't enter any debate on that anywho.
