Say what you want about the USA or even Russia but I don't think they use slaves or slave labour and they generally have a society where civil liberties are protected. Not sure about China so I won't comment on them. China has a poor human right record and the yanks invade and bombs arabs in the name of freedom but then make fortunes from middlea east oil. Qatar may be a different type of cunt but the yanks, ruskies, and chinese are cunts too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to be forced to work in prison then don't commit crime. The slaves in Qatar have done nothing wrong and are being treated badly for no reason other than greed of Qatar oil barons and the apathy of ppl like me and you who will lap up this world Cup without a care for the misery its taken to host it.

As I said its hard to know where to draw the line but we will watch the world Cup in Qatar knowing that slaves literally died and suffered for our enjoyment. Not sure I am comfortable knowing that and actively participating in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taylor1996 Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 From 1492 and 1900 an estimated 12 million Native Americans were slaughtered. Women, men and children. And their land was taken from them. And yet people are outraged with the Israel and Palestine thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a disgrace the treatment of the slaves/workers that have died just so Qatar can have a world Cup in the desert in winter. Would be good if all the European countries came together and withdrew. It's the modern day version of Irish navvies Some of these countries thinking is a long way behind ours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What did work, however, was the mass slaughter of an indigenous people. Edited December 14, 2020 by Taylor1996 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
