Talk to me when Qatar destablized the middle east and overthrows south-american governments.
Qatar is a ****ty country too but seeing Americans act like they have some moral superiority to talk about this is disgusting

I am just curious, do you know what is actually happening in Qatar?

Like happening right now in Qatar...

Oh sorry, was Qatar an ally of the US during the first Gulf War and the war in Libya? I think so! Wait Canada was as well? No way. That can't be right. Oh no Canada was involved in the war in Afghanistan and Iraq, and Libya too? The horror. Look at Canada destabilizing the Middle East.

We are talking about human rights violations of the citizens of the country you live in.

Does America give the most humanitarian aid around the world? Yep.
Does America imprison your wife if she disobeys you? Nope.
Does America imprison you for rape? Yep.
Does America allow torture, stoning and lashing of its citizens? Nope.
Does America allow you to marry a 7 year old? Nope.
Does America allow you to write "Donald Trump sucks" on a hockey forum? Yep.

Talk to me when Qatar gets up to speed with the above.

In a moral sense, I don't see how immigration status and/or area of residence materially affects the assessment of whether a human rights violation is justified. Accordingly, I see no morally compelling reason to exclude non-citizens and non-residents.

lol Canada is just America's puppet u think igaf about what Canada does. We are an irrelivent country on the international stage. Again im not defending Qatar, just pointing out the hypocracy. U guys even have a military base in that "human rights violating country" so u are accomplaces. Dont even get me started on Saudi Arabia. Most hypocrytical nation on earth?
Sorry for derailing the thread i know this is a hockey forum i wont be responding to this thread no more

I am not defending Qatar at all. They use migrants from the middle east as slaves i dislike them a lot. Just pointing out the hypocracy

Their slaves are predominately Asian just FYI.

It just isn't a place I would think you have to take money from in DC. I guess it keeps the metro going, I am just a little disappointed is all. Others are free to have their opinions.

Well in the U.K. it’s 0340, so for them, 0640. Probably just starting to wake up to a, presumably, hot sunny day.

(Also cringe at how this has become so political :facepalm:)

It's hard to avoid when it a State sponsored effort.

I try to avoid getting too political. This is really a human rights issue and that isn't libel or up for debate, we have reputable agencies putting out statistics on this stuff. Do what you want, but Qatar likely also isn't doing this for no reason, the effort is being made with political back-channeling intended.

You pointed out nothing.

American citizens have nothing to do with what their leaders are doing in the middle east, almost everyone prefers they stay out. In Qatar citizens openly enslave, think of woman worse than goats and hunt down gays.

Americans citizens >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Qatar citizens in human rights ainec.
American leaders >= Qatar leaders in human rights

Feel better?

I thought more people knew Qatar was a borderline slave state.

Unfortunate.

No, they should be getting their slaves from Mexico and Central America like Americans do.

thats funny because these people you are calling slaves from mexico and central america are friends of mine and the ones i know all have houses and a life by now. if you want me to provide names i will and you can ask them for yourself.

its not the same and for you to compare the two is disturbing.

No, for you to ignore all the ones living 20 to a house working 16 hour days for less than minimum wage in favor of the few lucky ones because it lets you shit on Qatar better is what's disturbing.
