Damn, must be tough to have to depends on those cave people, no? How the might have fallen, from pyramid builders* to 3rd world citizens!

To be fair, I am sure some of the common workers were black.

I see what you did there. So blacks are poor and unable to progress? That's racist!

I guess the US should cut all the help it's been sending to Africa, and stand back. See how you manage on your own ... oh, wait ...

If you are better at it, what's up with the comprehension difficulties?
And, really, you expect kids to be mature and understanding? They are selfish little human that think the moon and the sun revolve around them. Love and protection are taken for granted and expected, not cherished in any way.

As you can imagine, it was a competition, eveyone wanted his/her mom to be the most beautiful/youngest/healthiest. A sort of "my dad can beat your dad".

Hyperbole (play /haɪˈpɜrbəliː/ hy-PUR-bə-lee;[1] Greek: ὑπερβολή, 'exaggeration') is the use of exaggeration as a rhetorical device or figure of speech. It may be used to evoke strong feelings or to create a strong impression, but is not meant to be taken literally.[2]
Hyperboles are exaggerations to create emphasis or effect. As a literary device, hyperbole is often used in poetry, and is frequently encountered in casual speech. An example of hyperbole is: "The bag weighed a ton."[3] Hyperbole helps to make the point that the bag was very heavy, although it is not probable that it would actually weigh a ton.

Cherry picking, suppressing evidence, or the fallacy of incomplete evidence is the act of pointing to individual cases or data that seem to confirm a particular position, while ignoring a significant portion of related cases or data that may contradict that position. It is a kind of fallacy of selective attention, the most common example of which is the confirmation bias. Cherry picking may be committed unintentionally.[1]
The term is based on the perceived process of harvesting fruit, such as cherries. The picker would be expected to only select the ripest and healthiest fruits. An observer who only sees the selected fruit may thus wrongly conclude that most, or even all, of the fruit is in such good condition.
Cherry picking can be found in many logical fallacies. For example, the "fallacy of anecdotal evidence" tends to overlook large amounts of data in favor of that known personally, "selective use of evidence" rejects material unfavorable to an argument, while a false dichotomy picks only two options when more are available.

I've never been to Iran either, guess I shouldn't criticize their treatment of gay people?
I have made multiple posts in which I have quoted objective facts about the US. What did I claim about Americans that is not true?

Peter_Pan got a reaction from Ivy. in Husband doesn't want to file papers
I learned English from TV, then I took some classes for 4 months ( 2 hours per week) to make sure grammar is in place - all that in a non-native environment. Some people are just naturally gifted at leasrnign foreign languages. Oh, and I know idioms, and slang from several English speaking countries as well, without ever setting foot in one.

At some point there was a Romanian lady who had the dubious pleasure of being the world's oldest mom. I find it selfish and irresponsable, but that's just me.
