    Are you a catholic? The rat the cells were extracted from didn't even die, they didn't even use the entire brain.

    You realize that the brain cells were cultured and not extracted directly from a rat right?

    You must be a rat yourself and must have been the rat's best friend.

    Well, I was trying to treat you with some common decency and assume you weren't a total twat. Obviously that assumption was completely lost on someone is absolutely is. Forgive me.

    Why bother commenting at all, if you seemingly know beforehand that your comment is pointless?

    thats EXACTLY what my comment was about and thats exactly what i have been trying to tell you for the past few days. this is why i'm confused that you know its a utter waste of time to even bother replying me. you actually know it was a needy and juvenile comment, but somehow u just can't seem to process all of it until now. is your brain so slow that you need a few days to even digest this simple concept? WOW! i'm amazed and relieved it finally got into your thick skull..

    If that's honestly what you were going for, than not only was it pointless, it was also incredibly needy, and rather juvenile. Not only does nobody care about your personal apparent bias, you're wasting everyone else' time by stating a pointless opinion.

    Your unwillingness to discuss your opinion, or even provide a decent reason for it suggests that you're not only stubborn, but ignorant about the topic of your opinion. Amazing what ne comment can say about a person.
