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.

Just because somebody is stealing food doesn't mean they have to steal to live. Some people are just assholes.
Call me crazy but I like to give people the benefit of the doubt before assuming the worst when I don't know their situation.
Bro, this is the internet. None of it matters.
Your mom should really be limiting your screen time.
Just because somebody stole food because they're an asshole doesn't mean that everybody who steals food is an asshole.
We don't actually know which is true here, but we do know that it's far more likely someone is stealing groceries because the wealth inequality horrorshow has grown even more perverse in the last year.
Nevertheless, rather than defending an unnamed person from potentially reprehensible police, you defended the police and an unnamed retail store from a potentially reprehensible person.
I hope you've got shares in a grocery chain because it would be deeply pitiful if you weren't even doing this out of self-interest.
I mean you're being one right now.

If only you could stack "wage theft" on the back of a dodge for a social media photo op and brag about how the criminal behind it is being refused bail.
