Those with kids will quickly learn that it needs to feed from the bottom.

I've got two kids, one is actively potty-training at the moment, and I still say top. The direction is pretty much irrelevant once they figure out how it works.

correction - Waste it

Also, animals (not just kids) will try to unroll it.

It's called self-control, chief. Perhaps the commode is not the appropriate place to vent your anger at the world. Consider cross-stitch.

Yeah....it's really interesting the first time you manage to stitch your fingers up without feeling the needle.

From the bottom is the one true way. Embrace it, non-believers!

Over the top

I put it on there so it feeds over the top. When I'm at someone's house who has it the other way, I have to resist the urge to change it.

I like it from the bottom (I am talking about toilet paper u sick fvcks) because from the top if you yank the roll to hard them waaaay to much comes out.

No, Ausm is exactly right. From the bottom is the more efficient (in terms of energy used by me to tear off the paper), and thus correct way to dispense toilet paper. From the bottom, you can use the mechanical advantage of bracing your hand against the roll while tearing with your fingers.

This is only true if you can get your fingers behind the paper. Half the time the paper comes out against the wall, since a large number of toilet paper dispensers are recessed into the wall.

Of course I preffer the dispensers that are perpendicular to the wall. Makes the whole issue moot.

Top.

If you feed it through the bottom you can rip it off so that the next sheet available is inside the wall. You can't just pull on it then and instead have to spin the roll around to get access to that sheet. Putting it on the top eliminates this possibility.
