@Duke: Why don't you do like I did? Write them down a few hundred times to memorize them and burn the papers.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.

I just gave up my usual placement of 'seeing both sides of the argument while trying to defuse the people fighting' stance in a thread of here becouse someone chose to be a sarcastic twat and insult the other person, when I had just attempted to defuse the situation.  This makes me sad.

Still, I'm used to being the only neutral party in an argument and try not to take sides, and point out flaws in both sides arguments. I just raged, and I don't know why.

I'm sad because Rapidshare is basically the worst thing to ever happen to the internet.

Why would you say that? The place seems fine to me.

It's okay sometimes, but video games are serious business and most of the threads end up being arguments about which old game is how much better than which new game.

One of my dogs is having seizures. We've already got one epileptic dog, now we have two.

And of course, the first thing the stepdad(who owns the dogs) complains about, is the money.

Do you get your water from a well? There's an area near where I live where the groundwater was apparently contaminated with pesticides that can cause seizures, and there's an abnormally high level of instances of dogs having seizures and developing cancer around there (since people are smart enough not to drink water that comes out of their tap blue and reeking of... sulfur I believe it was, but they still give that water to their dogs because derp).

No, it's tap water. And I sure as hell hope it isn't the water, since I drink the same.

I doubt it's that, the other dog has been epileptic for about a year, but he's been on medication and hasn't had a seizure for as long as I can remember clearly. Where'd you hear about the groundwater contamination? I'd like to look into that.

Wow, apparently after my rage filled rant the argument stopped and the topic got back on topic. Should I be happy it put it back on topic or sad I broke my neutrality? Either way I'm still stressed as hell becouse I broke said neutrality.

Some breeds are prone to epilepsy and/or seizures. Mostly terriers and schnauzers that I remember, but I know there's other breeds as well.
