What does that have anything to do with what's been posted on here? Just seems like a sly remark to make.

For instance, every time the US makes advancements in technology, we don't scream that it solves the plethora of disproportionate issues it has for a developed nation. Why? It does not advance the conversation and is unrelated.

Every time the US military or federal budgets are mentioned, people do complain about it. Many people wish it was spent elsewhere.

Ah but those are Americans commenting on the state of their country.

I'm assuming the person who made the comment is not from India in which case it truly is a sly remark. If my assumption is wrong, feel free to discard my original comment.

This is my stance on these things:

- If the discussion is regarding topic A about a country X, pointing out an unrelated shortcoming when you're not from country X makes you sound like a douche.

- If the discussion is about that shortcoming itself, it's open-season for discussion regardless of where you're from.

- If the discussion is about country X, you are from country X, and feel that something else about the state of your country should be brought into discussion, it's valid.

Again, this is just my stance.
