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.

I don't currently have a valid passport; I haven't felt a need for one.

America itself is so big that I can spend my life visiting different parts of it and never run out.

Having a passport and traveling intentionally just feels like an unwanted hassle.

International travel is an amazing education that you cannot receive domestically.

I just don't see the value versus the effort I guess.

Yes. This is what I'm pointing out. Americans are intentionally ignorant about the world and don't see a problem with this. They'd rather stay home, sit in the lazy river at the water park stuffing their faces and drinking bud light than going and seeing the great museums of Europe, the history of the middle east, the artwork and dance from Africa or the beauty of somewhere like Bali.

6 flags sounds awesome though. Foot long hotdogs are where it's at I hear.
