Chess banned in Saudi Arabia (?!)

I agree voldomere!

voldomere: That doesn't justify nonsense

Yes I agree with you too bosspatato banning innocent chess is quite shocking!

bosspotato: Its a kingdom and not a democracy. The religion, history and culture are different. Mindless bashing of middle east for reason x, y, z feeds into the prevailing narrative. Stay open minded atleast until someone more credible than Nigel and another guy claiming to Saudi chess official on Twitter confirms it. And even if they do officially ban chess, its not a big deal compared to the other things I read about.

#10 Piffle. They're bloody barbarians. Look at the execution rate... should be considered a pariah state.

#15 Who isn't a barbarian? The spanish when they invaded americas? Wasn't the british colonial empire built on systematic abuse? Hasn't the US been guilty of regime change and funding wars?

woaw, i feel a lot of Bullshit here.

Yeah, I agree with voldomere. I can't understand how you guys can't agree with moral relativism. Everyone is barbaric. Even god!

The irony of this post is of a straw man argument criticizing another straw man.
