    when we take everyone from developing countries

    Just pointing out that this is a straw-man, and that discussions get better without them.

      Just pointing out that the above comment is utter trash and useless as hell.

        I was wondering if I had to go into why straw-men are bad for a discussion, but figured odds were likely you already knew. But assuming the goal is to find common ground and/or convince other people, then including straw-men makes those people assume you’re not understanding their point, and then dismissing the rest of whatever you’re trying to say.

        I hope it’s more useful now.
