Your neighbours religion. It's all nonsense, merely different flavours - none of it matters.
Unless he is always knocking on your door insisting that his flavour is the only true flavour, then it matters because he is pissing me off.
Sexuality. It just doesn't matter.
What are you, a monk or something?
Knowing which wine goes with which food - give me a break! It doesn't matter.
You got this one wrong, too. Trust me on this one. I've been an unapologetic oenofile and gourmand for years. Wine pairings are absolutely important if you want to achieve the right culinary effect. You would not, for example, have an unoaked chardonnay with prime rib unless your tastebuds are completely out of whack.
Being popular. Why the hell do you want to be invited somewhere the host doesn’t want you? Real friends matter.
Yes and no. Real friends matter, but being poplular with influential people will improve your fortunes (and allow you to collect and enjoy good wine with your good food).
The style of your funeral. Not to be insensitive, but really, do you think it matters
?
Only to the people you leave behind. The funeral is for them, not for you.
Television. Matters not one bit.
Depends what you mean by doesn't matter. From my perspective, any business that generates multiple billions of dollars annually is at least a little bit significant. But that's just me.
Size. Apparently it really doesn't matter!
Except when it does.
