What part of what I said was not accurate? Making an argument about cars in a pitbull conversation is a total false equivalency. YOU would've called someone else out on that before...
You go away and come back all thin-skinned and fragile to a place that's known for fighting, wait.... did someone die? Have you been diagnosed with something??
Either way, if you don't want to be argued with I'd suggest chat, not RWED.

What are you talking about Wish? I was apologizing that someone called you a word that I won't even repeat.
I agree with you that maybe dogs like pitbulls should have special permits, and I'll even say we do have to be more careful about breeding pets in general. I'll even agree with you that I am not as bright as I thought I was, and that I am shit at arguments and always have been - though saying two things are dangerous, and then comparing the relative level of danger between them is not a false equivalence. That's risk assessment. Specifically we're looking at types, probability, and magnitude. https://www.ready.gov/risk-assessment
If I said "more americans in 2013 were killed by car accidents (35,200) than in terrorist attacks (23)" - and I've even done so BEFORE - then hey, I just made a logically sound comment about the relative danger between them.

If I removed cars, "because cars are necessary," and terrorist attacks aren't, even though necessity doesn't really have any impact on determining whether something is dangerous or not, and I said "more americans were killed in 2013 by the child flu (149) than by terrorists (23)," I have also made a valid comment about relative danger. http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm6223a5.htm
Or if I said that "dog bites in 2013 (32) killed more americans than terrorist attacks (23)," maybe that would be an example of this sort of logic that you would accept? http://www.dogsbite.org/dog-bite-statistics-fatalities-2013.php
None of those are actually false equivalencies. You might, MIGHT be able to call my argument an Appeal to Worse Problems, except that I didn't say we should do nothing about dog bites or pitbulls, nor did I argue that you don't care about car accidents, child flu, or terrorists, I merely tried to put things into perspective.
In any case: You just got called something vile. And you're asking why I stay the hell away now?
Why do you all care so much about the arguments around here that this kinda language gets thrown around? What makes it worth it for you to give and subject yourselves to this kind of vitriol? This is a freakin' internet argument about freakin' DOGS. It's not like any of you have either the power to destroy all pitbulls, or the power to gift everyone on earth with one. None of this matters except how you are treating each other.
What died is everyone's sense of humour and compassion for each other. What I got diagnosed with is getting the hell out of needlessly stressful situations. You should all try it.

Thought you were saying I was insulting you. I blew off the other idiot, pretty much instantly.
Either way, I won't dare wade into cars/vs pits thing. It doesn't make any sense. One is needed, one isn't. There is NO connection.
I come here and get angry because I'm not allowed to shoot people. I thought that was obvious
I don't think you are going to change RWED, like so many others have tried before. I really don't care that some twit on the internet called me something, I'm an adult. What bothers me is people raping babies to death, people with deadly weapons and ZERO sense of control, and people who like to manipulate. And boredom. Boredom bugs me a LOT.
If absolute civility matters to you, then I would stay away. Chat is usually fuzzy and warm, and we could use more bodies in there, just avoid Tigerpilot...

There's plenty of things to get angry about. Pitbulls are pretty low on the list imo.

If it doesn't make you mad that little kids are losing limbs and faces to something WE made that IS NOT NECESSARY, you are OBLIVIOUS.
La la la, they will be fine, la la la, not my problem, la la la.

I pay attention to a lot of things. Pitbulls aren't at the top of my list.
This is closer to the top. Except I don't feel anger. It's closer to rage.

You can't even remotely stay on topic, can you?
You wanna be mad about malnutrition, start another thread!

This seems pretty off-topic. But, since YOU brought it up, I responded.
BTW, I don't think you come here to discuss, or to be angry. You come to let your inner asshole out while you pretend to be better than those other assholes you criticize. Eh, an asshole is an asshole.
So noted. I won't be responding to you until YOU can stay on-topic and actually - yanno - refrain from being an asshole and discuss things like a reasonable person.
