Now they're exercising their actual opinion instead of bowing their heads to whatever country that gets offended by their choices. This news really made me respect the country again.
You really think you are seeing respect from other countries these days?

No: And as for admiration I am sure the man who powders most, parfumes most, embroiders most, and talks most nonsense, is most admired.
