Three men were arrested Saturday after the gang rape of a Spanish tourist on a motorbike trip through India's remote east with her husband, local media reports said.
“Pfft, these people! They come to our country and expect to not be gang-raped. How dare they! Asshole elitist YouTube travel bloggers giving India a bad name!”
it already had a bad name, we are in a pit of endless downward spiral, our history can be summorized by just “and then it got worse” , since 8th century
I took a look at your previous comments and noticed that you seemed to largely be arguing about points of opinion rather than fact. Also, my Spanish isn’t great, but referring to people you disagree with as “gringos” and complaining about political discussions is not going to win you a whole lot of sympathy for your position.
I grew up in a mostly (75% or so) Hispanic neighborhood and I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word “gringo” in a non-derogatory tone of voice or context. And perhaps sympathy was not the correct word to have used there. I think “empathy” might better convey what I meant as it is my assumption that you are trying to convince people to see the situation from your point of view. Asking someone to empathize and/or agree with your viewpoint does take some diplomacy in many cases, and demanding evidence that is likely not in a language the commenter speaks is not going to be very helpful. While Mexico is an important country with a large population and substantial global economic impact, any news about Mexico that reaches the US in English is unlikely to present the internal politics of the country in a nuanced or detailed way.
I’m sorry? You are suggesting it’s propaganda that India and UP have a sexual assault issue.
I’m clarifying that you don’t even have to run with western reports to confirm this, you can refer to India’s own publication and reporting on the issue.
It is very poor taste to edit a comment in place, such that someone below you seems to be talking to nothing. You are supposed to add an edit statement.
Literally generating misinformation which you seem to be calling out, which, is delicious.
I’ve not said anything that is untrue, so what exactly are you high grounding about?
Not really doubting you, it’s still the Internet here. There’s always going to be people who belong in c/confidentlyincorrect. I just find it weird when people say they have proof. If you do, why not just show it from the get go?
You’re going to need to give people a little more than “not India”. There are lots of stories in World News that are not India right now. Israel? Ukraine? Argentina? Myanmar?
If you’re so eager to discuss, you can always directed that energy to where it does say what my country is in the relevant topic. I don’t plan to recreate it here. Like I said, it’s not hard to find and I’ll be waiting.
I have plenty of energy if you want to test it out. I’m directing you to another thread where the topic is appropriate and relevant. I don’t think that’s hard to understand.
Here I’m talking about these distrustful, accusing and cynical attitudes we get by default without even considering the benefit of the doubt because you’ve been swayed.
It’s not hard to understand that you’re trying not to repeat yourself. But it’s hard to understand how you expect this to be a valid way to argue online and how you expect people to go along with this.
If you have so much energy, please don’t ask people to read your comment history. Do you really want people to read your comments and misinterpret them from what they were sypoosed to mean according to you? Are you going to be wasting more time correcting people for wrongly interpreting your comments in a different context?

Stats say it’s steadily but slowly becoming better in the last ~50 years, but I’ve never been in India.

… I’m referring to the receipts you mentioned. I don’t know why you’re assuming I’m familiar with whatever you posted recently.

Yes, but we can’t tell which nasty attitude you’re talking about unless you tell us which country you’re talking about.
Put the proof where your mouth is. Show us your receipts!
How about you look at the thread that’s not hard to find and participate there? You won’t have trouble finding it and I’ll be waiting.
First of all, you don’t even specify your country. Am i supposed to find the question and answer myself?
If you’re so eager to discuss, you can always directed that energy to where it does say what my country is in the relevant topic. I don’t plan to recreate it here. Like I said, it’s not hard to find and I’ll be waiting.
You can’t even find energy to discuss. Tell me why I should be doing your side of the argument for you?

For all the times you responded, couldn’t you have just posted the link?
No, and I explained why somewhere.
