I probably should turn the computer off and walk away.

I am going to take an extended break from posting anything online. I have been getting way too passionate about debating with those whose ideologies run contrary to mine.

Expect me back in a month.

Prolonged internet usage has the potential to lead to a psychological addiction. It's good to take breaks from the internet; or, at the very least, certain sites one tends to visit too often. It's quite detrimental to the health of those who are lonely, in particular, I think. It can help, due to the accessibility of social interaction online, but it's still not very good to be in front of a screen so often, regardless of what one is doing.
Good luck! I hope you can gain a feeling of clarity, and come back feeling refreshed, whenever that may be.

Letting go of it for a while sounds like a good thing.
Now, the trick is to not merely transfer that behavior to a different venue.

The whole USA has gotten a little overheated in the last week.

Maybe all Americans need a time out.

All day long at work yesterday I couldn't get that girl who chants this outta my head:

"You

are

watching

foodie videos

when

you

could

be

Saving money with Groupon!"

So its obvious that I have been watching too much You Tube! Lol!
