I'm the OP and I stand by my point. You and ayrt are insensitive. I can't believe this is so hard. I wouldn't talk about your country's problems in front of you.

I'm sorry you feel like that. But I don't know what else to say.

Is the news not allowed to report about America, for instance? You are aware that most newspapers have an international section and they're always reporting on the problems in America? That's right there in public on the internet for the whole world to see.

Why should we not talk about countries problems? If you bring up my countries shortcomings* I would be okay with that, it isn't like the issues will go away because we don't talk about them. I think it is healthy to look at other countries and how they solve their issues to have a better understanding on how we might get the change we want in our own country. And the only way you can do that is by talking openly about them. Running around ignoring them won't change anything now will it?

*admittedly we don't have a lot of awful ones, but there is an abortion discussion right now which is pretty idiotic and of course the terrorist attack we had not too long ago, murder is on the rise, so is violent crimes and so on.

Edit: Also isn't it pretty normal for those issues to also be discussed in national news? Without a positive spin on it, it isn't like a country is ignorant to it's own issues or don't look critically at them (there are off course quite a few exceptions to this statement)...

I'm not anon. Never was.

And secondly, what do you think international news is? I watch Russian/Irish/French/German news discuss our problems all the time. And, as they're deliberately broadcasting to the U.S. on the free channels, I assume that they don't mind discussing America in front of Americans.

Do you think that all of Russia is unaware that we're discussing (and insulting) their security for the Olympics? Or judging their treatment of homosexuality?

Grow up.

It's a huge part of international politics to discuss problems right in front of the nation in question. It's accepted practice. That you want everyone you might conceivably meet in passing to conform to your very specific sensibilities is ridiculous, especially in regards to discussions of matters of public interest.

No, you are SJW and you need to take your oversensitive Newspeak backside over to a forum that will cater to and cherish all of your self-righteous entitlement needs. Because you won't get that here!

...fandomsecrets and the internet is a global platform, people are not going to cater their conversations about other countries just to ease your fragile sensibilities.
