We will never live "up" to your standards because those standards
are based in a political philosophy different from ours. You keep
insisting that we do everything perfectly while you all set back
and watch us do the mess cleaning for you.

See? The thing you need from us you describe as inelegant and crude
and not acceptable in polite society. Make up your mind.

Yes, child. If no oil is delivered, then your country
will have to use its coal reserves. Right?

It's a similar problem. Take that guy who goes after boys. He
can get out because the judge allowed bail. I don't trust judges'
descretions any further than I can spit.

Exactly. You people came very close to having

But there exists another culture that disagrees. Not only does it
disagree but your standards are against their religious beliefs.
Now, how do you allow them to have their religious freedom when
their religion says your ways must be eradicated from the face
of the Earth.

What if that case has to do with my notion of danger which your
opinion is overblown, lies, and a figment of my imagination?
It is your popular opinion that these don't exist because the
world disapproves the actions the US is taking.
