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.

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.

I've read they do this with our own military too so they can gauge the reaction of military personnel elsewhere in the world without exposing them to our secret technology. I'm like 99% sure that's what all the recent UFO video stuff was that had been circling the Internet.
