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.

I feel confident that more straight dudes are pedophiles than gay dudes.

Homosexuals are overrepresented in studies on paedophiles, but in absolute numbers there would probably be more straight peaedophiles as there are far more straight people than gay people

That's the difference between homosexual and gay. Yes, homosexual pedos are more common, but the perpetrator hardly ever lives as an openly gay man (nor is he attracted to adult men).

Gay people and homo pedos are simply two distinct groups

Isnt it also that in most cases "pedo" takes priority over "hetero/homo". Basically if you are attracted to children, the genders doesnt really matter. But usually men have easier access to boys than to girls so more often, reported cases are of homosexual paedophilia.
