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.

Because they won't pay what someone actually qualified for the task would require. They still get their clicks because people want to stay informed, and yet also do so for cheap. Late stage capitalism has everybody attempting to wring value out of every last penny in order just to keep afloat in a world where the absurdly wealthy see average people as just pawns in a game the one-percenters are driven to "win" no matter what.
