It was a joke rebuttel to the self-righteous. But if you want to get serious we all "do business with odious dictators to the detriment of their enslaved subjects" all the time without much worry. Have you never used Arabian oil or bought Chinese goods? Hmmm?
Your reply is poorly reasoned. You cited trade with Cuba as a superior freedom of your country as compared to ours. As I pointed out, this is without merit. Apparently you now agree and say it was a "joke." Fine. That leaves you without any point at all.
It has been pointed out the American freedom to keep and bear arms is superior to that of Britain, generally speaking. It is also true that we enjoy greater freedom of speech. If doing this sort of comparison seems "self-righteous" to you, well, too bad! The important issue is whether it is true that Americans are more free.
The nonsense about Arab oil and Chinese goods is just that; nonsense. The U.K. is not boycotting these goods and I did not say that American use of them constitutes some sort of greater freedom. Total rubbish, your comment.
I hope you are drunk, because if you reason this poorly sober then you must have a pretty tough go of things.
