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.

You mean like when you can't loot other people's shit?

What? No, I meant like when people said they didn't want to work 12 hours a day 6 days a week anymore, and then the capitalists had the police shoot them.

I mean, that certainly wasn't nice, but unions are an accepted part of "capitalism" now.

Describing murder and decade long imprisonment as "nice" is underselling it.

Also, "accepted" is stretching it. Union busting, suppression, and capture, are all common.
