It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

  • main cause of death among those aged 15–29

Is this an American thing? In Australia the leading cause is suicide, with auto accidents a distant second. However, it is the leading cause for 1-14 year olds.

It is at world level, according to WHO

In the linked page the same WHO states that road fatalities are the leading cause of death "for children and young adults aged 5–29 years":

Ah yeah, based off what I read that makes sense with that wider age range.
