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.

Woah hold your horses there bossman. You and the guy in OPs post. You got a way to go before you can back that claim of "at least" up!
Okay let's count. There's you, there's me. That makes two already... ehm who else?

There are 3 countries in the world. The United States, Alaska, and Hawaii.
Alaska is up north so it's in Canada you idiot
Isn't Canada a State?
You're thinking the state of seasonal depression
Why didn't they just say "in all states..." puzzles me. What other states can we be talking about?
All countries are states, and a good handful or so countries are federations which call their largest constituencies states, so Germany for example has states, as does Malaysia, as does Australia.
Edit: just reading now that there's no consensus on what a state is exactly, so, fuck knows.
US states
United states states?
The GOP is actively fighting to raise the voting age too.
Ok, I’m getting some reports about potentially xenophobic comments and insults in this thread. I’d like to remind everyone to be nice and abide by the rules. I’m going to lock the thread now because I’m the only mod and I need to go to sleep. Have a good weekend everyone, and remember, it’s just a stupid post on the internet.
Go listen to Boonta Vista
I know it's not the point of the post but in what way is that ballsy and sincere? There has to be a name for this kind of post, it's either a gross glorification of a completely uninteresting interaction, or just completely made up because it sounds... I don't know, heartwarming or something?
Considering the price of drinks at some pubs it sounds true to me. Not something that one generally does but I can definitely see a teenager trying to get their money back
