I'm not being aggressive, I'm just frustrated because it seems to be impossible to point out that something is the case in the country where I live without one

I'm not being aggressive, I'm just frustrated because it seems to be impossible to point out that something is the case in the country where I live without one of the replies being in the spirit of "well, actually..." — so all I'm saying is that pointing out a phenomenon as geographically situated somewhere is not the same as pointing it out as unique to that location. I get this often enough that I expect it every time, so I'm sorry if some of the frustration shines through. There just seems to be a pathological tendency to correct people, to the extent where the errors are willfully interpreted as such.
- badestrand 7y agoI get why this frustrates you but as you can not change other people you could try to clarify by adding a "This might exist in other countries as well" or similar.
