the idea that just because someone lives in a 1st world country they have all the 'privilege' they could ever want or need, is fallacy and narrow-minded.
P.S. Don't make assumptions about me based on the examples I have given. They in no way reflect my own life and are merely things that anyone who actually engages with the community around them can discern for themselves if they aren't so caught up in their own 'privilege'.
maybe you should

#1 I didn't assume anything. You implied that I said this when I clearly did not.

But saying that someones inability to vote in america is worse than lives in other parts of the world is crazy.
#2 He stated that everyone in a 1st world country has privilege and followed that up with an implication that it should be the end of the discussion "/end thread". That implies that no one in a 1st world country has a right to say they are disadvantaged and disenfranchised when in truth it merits discussion because so many people in those countries actually are.
Similarly, you implied the same thing with this:

he is kinda right.
Would you rather lack the right to vote (which most people don't even vote), or have to spend 1/3 of your day walking to to only collect water? And my entire point was to enlighten that ignorance that while you may think these things don't exist in a 1st world country, they actually do.
And this

Does not equal this
Weyburns said :
Sounds like you had a harder life than most
when it comes to my own experience. So yes, you did assume.
So, enjoy whatever it is you're trying to accomplish here. At this point I feel like you have zero interest in having a discussion on how underprivileged people are unless they live in war torn, poverty stricken countries. And while those people are completely underprivileged without question, it is important to realize that you don't have to live in those areas to experience similar disparities. And just so you don't misquote me I said similar not identical.
With that, I won't be posting again as I just don't see the point of engaging with you further.
