If the idea of Chatbrat's post was that others have had it much worse, doesn't that apply to virtually anything and everything that anyone could ever complain about?
In other words, the next time someone (including Chatbrat) complains on the forum about any local issue, couldn't the response be something along the lines of "Why are you complaining? Other people in the world have ( fill in the atrocity here )!"
I understand the point being made, but it does come across to me as an attempt to nullify anyone's concerns about how things are being handled in this current era.
