You could use that argument against any other argument people might make about anything.

'I'm a United fan & City won the league' - could be worse you could be dodging bullets in Syria. 'I stubbed my toe getting out of bed this morning' - could be worse you could be dodging bullets in Syria. 'Miss Waitress, you just dropped my fried egg on the floor picked it up & put it back' - could be worse you could be dodging bullets in Syria.

And so on.
