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.

MODERATORS
That would appear to be modern America
Definitely an American thing. Can confirm. Am American and not proud of this shit. It's disgusting the way our homeless are treated.
Then why not let them into your home?
Probably because there are thousands of homes sitting empty with ridiculous price tags due to corporate landlords buying every available property and hiking prices by creating artificial scarcity?
Or we could invest in the social programs that prevent homelessness from happening to begin which will slowly reduce the homeless population in and of itself.
Happing here in the UK too.
This has been reposted so many times over the years, did they ever end up replacing those benches?
They were reinstalled days later after the backlash. Their spokesperson was spewing all kinds of BS. “The tweet was a mistake” “the benches were unsanitary” etc. I’m not sure if these are the same as the benches before before it looks like they’d be hard to lie down on anyway.
Yep that's an anti homeless bench if I've ever seen one.
Everybody in this thread apparently has never had to deal with the homeless. They're an actual health hazard and hazard in general with many being violent or on drugs.
That's exactly why you need to care for them instead of sweeping them under the rug until they're no longer an inconvenience to you you miserable selfish git.
Please take them into your house then and get them off the streets
Thanks to evil socialism the problem is virtually non-existent where I'm from. Crazy what you can achieve if you don't throw your veterans and diseased under the bus over corporate greed.
And where is that?
I am not that guy but one such example is Sweden. And I think the other Nordic countries are pretty much the same
