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
Okay, let's look at this from a purely economical perspective and disregard that people, including workers and owners, sometimes have pity on people.
This person will remember the kindness and prefer to go to that place in the future. They'll even bring their friends. Therefore, potentially, making it a profitable move.
I 100% agree. I think that it was rude for the customer to ask for refund in the first place. If I go to a restaurant and order dessert after dinner and then decide that I don't want it, I don't ask for my money back. Why is it different just because of alcohol?
Because alcohol has greater liability for the establishment supplying it. They're legally required not to over serve alcohol while no such requirement exists for food. That's because overeating once in a while just results in a stomach ache, maybe vomiting if you really overdo it whereas over drinking can result in death.
I'm not so sure that EU bar laws are similar to American laws as far as liability is concerned. But even if they are, there no reason that an establishment's liabity would excuse the patron's fiscal responsibility. He ordered the drink, he's responsible for paying for it. Just because the customer decides he's done drinking, I don't see why then the bar owes him his money back. And there's no law that says that drink has to be drank. Just put the drink down and go home.
