Q: Forum suggestion: listing countries' bad points
Hey all.
After just reading yet another "oh, well, our country may have done X, but YOUR country has done Y and Z..." as some form of 'argument', I just had the great idea of - why don't we just have one big list of each country with their respective good points and bad points (or individual things done... ie, "well, in 1957, your country did...blah!" Or, (more likely) "Remember 3000 years ago when 1 person in your country did something nominally nasty - yeah, well, WE DON'T FORGET!!!"
What's more, we could either number or alphabetise them, so instead of saying "Well, remember when...", you could just write, "Well, your country did A and C, which makes up for when our country did G and L".
That is a good idea, a really good, why not, sure I could agree with you here.
If that, should start from Bible. It is earliest stuff which record which contry does. China starts from '三皇五帝'。prophet
It would be a nice reference, and could it theory spark some interesting conversations. The sad truth is, the people who use this information as an excuss like you mentioned in the question, would only be given more fuel to fan their own flame instead of learning to have an actual back-and-forth converstion on the topic.
Or we could just all pull out our wangs , slap them on the table and measure them all and put an end to this now.
