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.

Could you imagine what a truly smart and altruistic trillionaire could achieve?

Although as soon as they tried to change anything they'd probably get disappeared.

Anyone good with a billion pounds no longer has that billion pounds. Because they use it to cure a disease, or give to poor countries, or whatever. But what we need is systemic change, because we shouldn't have to rely on rich people being philanthropists, the government should have that money and spend it on what the people vote for.
