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.

"build one big insurance company to provide coverage for everyone. And no gaps or deductibles. And they can't discriminate who's allowed to join. And let the government administrate it so a single company can't screw you over unfairly."
pay at the pump auto insurance..
included into the cost of each gallon of gas.
universal coverage, no uninsured drivers, clear & transparent funding source.
How's that going to work with the switch over to electric cars?
Change "gallon of gas" with "kilo watt"
Kilo what?
doesn't matter because it's never going to happen anyway.
This is only socialism if it pertains to the workplace and you are talking about "one big union" not insurance; that would be a social program.
Roads and infrastructure; not socialism.
Insurance and consumer protection; not socialism.
Single payer Healthcare; not socialism.
Firefighter, police and military; not socialism.
Democracy in the workplace; now thats what I call socialism.
