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:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.
  2. Discussion is encouraged but arguments are not. Don’t be aggressive and don’t argue for arguments sake.
  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Last time I checked you could still get prison time in the UK for posting rap lyrics on social media.

So paint last time you checked you mean you never checked, and you're talking utter gibberish.

Surprisingly turns out to be true, though it was a fine and not prison. See the link somebody else posted

No prison time, but a fine, and community order (I'm unsure what community order is) https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-merseyside-43816921

Either way, it's a shitty response by the UK government.
