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.

Honestly I think they should reverse the laws preventing bankruptcy for student debt, and maybe even outright remove the existing debt, instead of paying huge sums of money to creditors, who themselves don't need the charity on their predatory investment that was never likely to be paid off. Also digging up criminal history of someone's family members as a barely relevant gotcha is one of the trashiest arguments I can think of, everyone in this screenshot is embarrassing themselves.

I feel like this argument is more likely to cause people to think free education is bad because a lot of people think keeping pedophiles alive is bad

Marilyn is complaining about the student debt forgiveness program, which is offset by taxes.

The same taxes used to incarcerate rapists. Such as her son.

For the betterment of society.

I have a hard time believing she didn't double down with extra indignation.
