              You’re not keeping up. They don’t believe it to be lawful so the correct term is murder as you just evidenced yourself.

              Ya dumb.

                In that case, we’re just arbitrarily making up definitions to words and pretending that the whole world accepts our definition as the definition. Which is fucking dumb. Which is why I pointed out that the definition TD was using was not sufficient. Can I call you a murderer because you’ve responded like a moron, and I hereby define that as the definition for murder? Hello? 911? We have a murderer on the loose, come lock them up?

                Of course not. It’s a fucking stupid argument. Either words have meaning, or they don’t. If you want to call Kyle a killer thats fair. He definitely killed someone, but it falls way short of murder. Even if it was unlawful, it still doesn’t meet the test for murder, probably manslaughter instead (the crime of killing a human being without malice aforethought, or otherwise in circumstances not amounting to murder). Or, words don’t have meaning. Therefore, “distant your flexible you volume”. It probably means something nice.
