Re: just so ya know

Lets get this thread back on track shall we? Or at least pretend like some of us care if it is?

Ukraine was in 71st in 2012 and 111th in 2013. Russia went from 153rd to 155th.

It boggles my mind that a G8 country in the first world is almost the least peaceful country on Earth, and the way that their aggression is dragging down Ukraine is pretty sad to see.

Don't criticise this discussion for having taken a bad turn when all your posts contribute nothing.

uh no it's not. If anyone gets really involved with it, things will turn out bad. We can't do much more than sit by threats and warnings.

You don't understand how America works.

If anything, I'm the only person not jumping on a bandwagon and defending what America stands for

Re: just so ya know

America stands for repeating the same statement over and over without contributing any content to the discussion, and blindly supporting something while accusing other people of blindly opposing it, where the blindness is the relevent part?

Re: just so ya know

It's people who try to argue things outside of their scope of life who drive me nuts. Do you care if BART goes on strike and suddenly 600,000 commuters have to find alternate transportation? Of course not, it doesn't affect you. Argue points that make a difference in your own life, not a blanket statement.

it sounds like when you say "America" you're referring to your house/apartment and your neighborhood and maybe most of your city.

Well he wants everybody to point only to their own individual personal experience, and ignore everything further reaching.

He's an educated white cis man, of COURSE he thinks America is fantastic.

You should ALWAYS care about what happens locally before you even give a second though to nationally

1) Pointing out the issues with "Only look at your own experience" when your own experience is atypical for the whole is not "check ur priv"

2) Sometimes you actually need to check your privs. And if you're sitting here saying that America is a great place and wonderful, ESPECIALLY when you've already, yourself, pointed out that somebody who is white and law-abiding shouldn't care about things like overcrowded prisons, you REALLY need to check them.
