    The point being discussed is that this is a terrible law and an example of Mississippi being a shit hole

    This is not the comment I replied to. The comment I replied to was essentially saying that MS and therefore the US are not worth visiting, and I think that’s silly.

    “This is fine”

    I didn’t say this. I actually agree with you that the MS law is terrible, but trying to push back on the general sentiment of the original comment I replied to: saying the US is the “worst” because of something that Mississippi does.

      Right: side tracking from the conversation at hand to insist hyperbole is not literal. That does not help and only serves as a distraction.

        You realize that a comments section can have more than 1 discussion going on in it, right? It’s not a “distraction” to talk about something else or disagree with a part of someone’s comment.

          It’s still a distraction from the topic at hand. I’ll also note that you don’t appear to have any comments in this comment section other than “The US isn’t the worst country” so what is it you think you are adding to the discussion here? Hyperbole is bad because someone might get confused?
