Distinct lack of memes here, if it is Marty the Magnificent that is.

Yeah. It is usually the people who tell the inconvenient view that get the witch-hunt. The ones who have a different opinion.

Like the Saudi killing of a journalist you mean?

You're the one insulting people by calling them thugs. You're not very good at this, are you?

[Carradona]

How do you write "flounce" in Arabic?

Let's get back to the beginning - quote a few posts from the World Cup thread that inflamed you enough to begin this pilgrimage my Angry Arab Amigo.

Nah, he’d just try to ‘cure’ him.

I know - you saw some stuff on a website you had read for a decade and some posts within a few weeks time inflamed you enough to start this thread out of years of lurking and continue to post around the clock.

 

What were those? Like even a couple.

It is very simple.

 

Do you think the level of focus on human rights issues was the same for Qatar 2022 as it was for Russia 2018? I certainly don’t. 
 

I think that variance is driven by cultural bigotry rather than concern for human rights.

 

You disagree with my view? No problem. I don’t expect you to agree. Say what you think and ignore me. Why do you find it hard to do that?

The level of focus on human rights issues are obviously more for Qatar than Russia as the human rights issues are alot worse in Qatar IMO. Also there is probably more posters now than 4 years ago so maybe a reason it seems to you it is being focused on more.

I also have been reading this forum for over a decade and rarely post. I felt the need to reply to you JK as I have been reading the thread and interested in your responses to the repeatedly asked questions by TheHowieLama and Bjornebye. Seems strange you avoiding replying!

Oh alright … so there are human rights issues that are less relevant than others … very interesting … can you explain to me what makes Russia’s human rights issues in 2018 less worthy of a vicious hate campaign? What criteria have you used? 
 

Here they are:

I eagerly anticipate your answer. We may be well into something here.

 I have not responded to a lot of questions that were either irrelevant to the discussion or childish attempts at ridicule. Ask a question that is relevant to the point I raised (double standards) and I will be happy to answer you. Googling a human rights issue in the Middle East and throwing it at me for comment is irrelevant because I am not arguing that the Middle East is free of human rights issues here. I have actually criticized some issues myself.

What you haven't say about this cracker and some colleagues been arrested?

[Jurgen Knows]

Refer to my last post

[No2]

You won't need Google for that one, it's today news and its pretty big.

[Jurgen Knows]

Go back to the opening post of the thread you will see that I have not absolved Qatar of paying bribes to win the world cup. The same applies to any issue you might google or read in today’s news.

 

Still irrelevant to the point I’m raising here. The double standards. 

[No2]

Today's news is about paying people to do or say nice things for Qatar. People who hold positions of importance that should be above that. I hope you're getting paid well because everyone else is.

I am a horrible little man. We have already covered that.

 

Happy to hear your views about the double standards.

Gave then already. Are you paid to promote Qatar?

No. But I don’t mind if you continue to assume I am.

I didn't assume, I just asked. You not feel about hard done by? Everyone else is on the payroll.
