| Ka-pi96 said: Is calling someone a hypocrite really that aggressive? And what you said was "it is up to us Belgians to decide whether Belgium is a country or not.". If you're trying to add caveats and exceptions to that rather than accepting that "Belgians" and "Belgium" should be interchangable with any other peoples and/or countries, then that does indeed make you a hypocrite. Because making special rules of why something applies to one group of people or in one situation but not to others, is exactly the kind of thing that makes somebody a hypocrite. |
Yes, when you attack someone directly and do not explain yourself. I am on average more open minded than many. You may call me names if you feel like it as long as you explain why in a manner that demonstrates an opinion and not an aggression. But in that previous post you called me a name and that's it, no explaining why which feels aggressive. If you explain why I can tell you why you are wrong or who knows, agree with you.
At least in this last post you explain why and that's fine.
But I already told you and you don't seem to understand, Belgium is a country and how is that an exception or a caveat? You are making one if you say that a region like Catalonia is a country when it is not. Your point would ONLY make sense if I said BRUSSELS is a country then yeah you could say how is Brussels a country but not Catalonia?
If you're purposefully comparing a country (Belgium) with a region (Catalonia) and pretending the same rules apply to both when they are clearly two different types of territories (one is a country the other a region), you are either ignorant or hypocrite. But I don't think you are ignorant as there is no way you would not know that Belgium is a country while Catalonia is a region.
