Reply to comment by 44MHz in BBC ignores World Cup opening ceremony in favour of Qatar criticism by AcknowledgeableReal

Nobody argued that, it's the definition of a straw man. Nobody argued that European countries were perfect. And the fact you're trying to argue that is because you know the actual point of contention is irrefutable. You're just JAQing off.
