[Posteritatis]

46. There's people who'll defend just about anything

Venezuela's president could be shoveling newborns into boilers to power the conveyor belts that bring the newborns to him so he can shovel them into the boilers more efficiently, and there'd probably be people saying they had it coming.

Hell, there's an outright North Korea fanboy off in one of the other ongoing threads here, and there were people defending the Saudi ban on women drivers a month or so ago.

Venezuela, as someone else points out, gets a pass on things that a lot of other places generally wouldn't, but there aren't many stances one country or another holds in the world that don't have at least some enthusiastic defenders around here.
