Zeus 07/11/18 10:15:15 PM #17:	PuddingBoy posted... Mexico has many problems but when comparing human rights, they're far better off than Qatar and Russia. It's a no brainer. How about you dispute Russia instead of moving the goalposts to another country? It doesn't have to be a troll job. How about you try and educate instead of bringing in a superiority complex? I know you're not interested in doing so, but you'd look like slightly less of a fool if you did. How about you actually justify singling out Russia while ignoring countries that are far worse? You claim that you're not trolling, but Mexico is more dangerous than most warzones for journalists, politicians, etc, and yet you're clinging to the Koch Foundation's Freedom Index. Here's a statistic you're overlooking: The murder rate in Mexico 20.5 per 100,000 inhabitants. I guess the dead are very free, right? By the way, you also didn't raise a flag over Brazil which has a 32.4 murder rate. These are the kinds of statistics that would concern normal people -- raising an immediate red flag in their minds -- but apparently not you. PuddingBoy posted... Do you need to talk about other countries or can you respond to Russia's non-free elections, corrupt courts, suspicious killings in the UK and more, homosexual concentration camps in Chechnya, not having a free press, the general treatment of LGBT people in the country... I could go on. So please, tell me why I should not include Russia on my list when they are a hellhole and try not to bring up other countries. Good luck! Wait, are you seriously trying to bring up issues with the press while ignoring Mexico, one of the deadliest nations for journalists? (And the deadliest non-warzone?) Those are some Olympic-level mental gymnastics! And then you cite many issues to which Mexico has greater problems. So yeah, maybe you can explain why you'd single out a developed, prosperous relatively safe nation while giving a free pass to a nation where large sections are effectively run by drug gangs -- or seceded from the government -- and the government has repeatedly been complicit in mass murder, including the army helping to kill a large group of students. But hey, freedom! --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:904918279] in Best count...
