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.

Why are our tax dollars paying any of these people? I’d rather take their salaries and divide it amongst people who donate blood, platelets, plasma, and bone marrow for free. Tell these political figures that if they truly cared about Americans they’d do their job for the same pay as some first year, public school teacher who only has a bachelor’s degree, while teaching in one of the toughest areas of a big city. I’m so sick of all these spoiled, dolled up, high class [public figures] being paid to run their mouths. Sorry, I had to replace a word in that comment to stifle how I truly feel.
Swear away friend. As long as you’re not inciting violence or using slurs/language to intimidate, have at it.
Malcom Tucker will always be my favourite go to when insulting politicians (or anyone actually) “You’re a fucking omnishambles, that’s what you are. You’re like that coffee machine, you know: from bean to cup, you just fuck up.”
