Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.
The following things are not grounds for murder:
- Personal appearance ("You're fat", "You're ugly")
- Posts with little-to-no context
- Posts based on a grammar/spelling error
- Dick jokes, "Yo mama", "No, you" type responses and other low effort insults
- "Your values are bad" without any logcal or factual ways of showing that they are wrong ("I believe in capitalism" - "Well, then you must be evil" or "Fuck you you ignorant asshole")
Rules:
- Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
- Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
- No bigotry of any kind.
- Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
- If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
- Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Correct. We will never be able to end crime. It's kind of part of the human condition.
Crime (law) is a human invention.
You are correct. And it's a far better option than me beating you to death for taking something that isn't yours. So... yay for law.
Maybe so but theft has been a crime for 10,000 years. And it has been punished by beating up the thief for all of human history. If you take shit that isn't yours, you get what's coming to you.
Ok, and the more you steal, the more you got coming to you right? Well who's stolen more? The poor person trying to survive or the billionaire looting pension plans and shorting companies into the ground?
