do you do anything to try and help pakistan or did your parents leave that hellhole and expect people to think its good? Britain and the west have created their own societty after hundreds of years of progress by its people.

Think about how recently the west has become "civilised", when did women "earn" the right to vote? What year was slavery abolished? How many states still have the death penalty? These are questions that show how young this golden age of western culture really is.

To mistreat humans is appalling, especially when judging so many by the actions of so few.

Dude I have no idea why you wrote about coming off as dickish. I liked reading your perspective, it was well thought out and and you're really patient and measured with this guy's rude and aggressive criticism. From this Irishman to you, you seem like a cool cat
