I didn't want to confuse the issue

I’m sorry, but I do not believe you at all

I'm sorry, I don't care whether you "believe me" or not.

You: This is the only country where this happens.

Me: False. Here is some data that shows it happens in many other countries.

What is there to "believe" here? All that was necessary to refute you was to find ONE incident in another country. I found dozens. Linking to the other two lists (each of which also have many incidents in other countries) can only further destroy your incorrect assertion. There's no way those can magically make you right. Even if the other two both had zero (which they don't...far from it), that wouldn't matter in the slightest.

Take the L and move on.

The Onion, not me: "this is the only country where this regularly happens"

You: move every goalpost

All that was necessary to refute you was to find ONE incident in another country.

Is one isolated incident really all that is necessary to refute the Onion's assertion that this is the only country where this regularly happens?
