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.

Well, there are at least twelve of us
Woah hold your horses there bossman. You and the guy in OPs post. You got a way to go before you can back that claim of "at least" up!
How sure are we that u/colmear isn't just an alt of OP? It could be just OP claiming they don't live in the US!
Your right. I'm such a fool! There's no hope!

That's because the rest of us just blame it on CIA weather balloons
Funny, I'm an American and I also blame it on the military industrial complex.
Specifically, fucking planes and now drones.

I have never thought about the alien sighting thing. Are they really all or mostly in the US?
The vast majority. https://worldpopulationreview.com/country-rankings/ufo-sightings-by-country
One could certainly note that America also spends by far the most on things like stealth bombers and fighters, or that the most common types of sightings oh-so-coincidentally end up matching the profiles of those stealth planes once they become common knowledge.
I don't remember where I read it (this was years ago) but The US had purposely experimented during the cold war with making people think they've seen ufo's to gauge their reactions and to feed the frenzy to make russia think they have more tech than they actually do.

Literally DOZENS.
Edit: I apologize, I am actually a time traveler from 1982 when this was not the case
In what states is this not true? The National Minimum Drinking Age Act said that states needed to make the age 21 or else they would lose federal funding. Looks like they all complied from my quick research into it.

Why didn't they just say "in all states..." puzzles me. What other states can we be talking about?
Your neighbour, Mexico, has states for one.
Yeah, but no one actually lives there, right? And if they do, they're certainly not on the internet.

All countries are states, and a good handful or so countries are federations which call their largest constituencies states, so Germany for example has states, as does Malaysia, as does Australia.
Edit: just reading now that there's no consensus on what a state is exactly, so, fuck knows.

The GOP is actively fighting to raise the voting age too.
US states
United states states?
United States states, yeah that makes sense. States within the boundaries of the United States. How else would you say it? If you just say "states" it doesn't necessarily clarify them to be American states but could be ones in other countries.
Ok, I’m getting some reports about potentially xenophobic comments and insults in this thread. I’d like to remind everyone to be nice and abide by the rules. I’m going to lock the thread now because I’m the only mod and I need to go to sleep. Have a good weekend everyone, and remember, it’s just a stupid post on the internet.
