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.

Human rights wasn't a thing until the Enlightenment, The Bible, Koran, and Tanakh all limit rights, not expand them.

You're giving credit for human rights to the oppressor. Horrifying.

I'm pointing out patterns in the development of human kind. If you want to judge everything retroperspectively through your ideological glases that's on you.
