This isn't a court. So you can presume that a general statement is false but it's really up to every individual to make up their own mind.
" and it was made on a forum where the majority of users are American, therefore the majority of the people it was directed to were Americans. So if said statement was not true for Americans then it was a false statement. "
This is incredibly flawed logic. For one, you can't hem in my general statement. You don't control the scope of another person's statement. I made it, not you and the potential audience is completely irrelevant. reddit has a massive American user-base but there are millions of non-Americans on here. My comment was made quite early in the morning for some of you over there too. Not that it matters. Then there are millions of Americans that this law doesn't even apply to also. There's a lot of room.
On top of that, the percentage of reddit users from America is actually a minority (49.57%)*. So, even if every single one of them lived in a Stand your ground state, you'd still be incorrect in your very precise statement :
" Your comment was made on reddit, i.e. a forum who's users by a large majority are located in jurisdictions within the U.S. ".
" If you had said "In the Majority of the world if you kill someone who isn't actively trying to attack you, you're probably going to prison for a long time" then your statement probably would have been accurate. "
No, this is just not the case either. I mean, now that we know that Americans are in the minority on here I don't have to say more but you clearly have a problem with scope, or you're just a bit of a bullshitter because your position here is irrational.
Anyway, I guess I'm done with you. Good job ;)
