Welcome to the internet, a place to find like-minded people no matter what your background is. Sounds fun, right? Sadly, it can become quite toxic. And we're the ones to blame for it. Racism, misogyny, classism; all of society's wounds fester online just as much as they do in real life.

However, being insulting and mean often comes right back to bite you. Amongst the most impressive ways to fight internet trolls is by using the epic art of the comeback. Fierce, well-constructed, and piercingly accurate arguments end up in the subreddit called Murdered By Words. This community with over 2.6M members is the place where verbal assassins cut right through and share some of the best burns.

When you’re done scrolling through this list, you’ll find some more inspiration for savage comebacks by checking out Bored Panda’s previous posts on the subreddit here, here, and here.

    In my pre-teens, I spent a few summers going to a christan bible camp. I remember one day a counselor told us that Satan only exists if you believe he does.

    Sorry, are you suggesting that NA's aren't allowed to leave those reservations and live where everyone does? As far as I know, they can move to any suburb, city, or other wilderness area in the whole country, just like any other resident.

    So are you saying people wearing a gun during peacetime are "living in fear"? Of who or what, exactly? When was the last time you needed to draw your gun and shoot someone dead, and then say "WOW! It's a good thing I had my gun with me!"?

    Not exactly the same. Anti-vaxers CHOOSE to be denied access to certain places that want to provide everyone a safer experience. Those being denied access to a bar can't do anything about it (besides wait). See how that's different?
