Look at the comment you first replied to though. What are you actually arguing? That US or UK don't understand what goes on, or that you can't find anecdotal instances of them attempting to improve their regulation?
- Y-bar 5y agoOP in this thread is basically saying that EU should not point fingers toward other nations when they have enough clean-up to do at home. I am arguing that EU, while flawed in its execution of that duty, is actively doing just that. What exactly do you think I am saying?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoI think you're exactly implying that this lone anecdote constitutes a good measure by which the EU is "doing more" than the UK or the USA and therefore would not be hypocritical by pointing the finger.
- Y-bar 5y agoWhy do you bring forth this straw man argument?
- throwawaylinux 5y agoIf that's not what you are implying then what was the point of the comment in the first place?
- Y-bar 5y agoTo give a partial retort of OP:s assertion.
- throwawaylinux 5y agoIt isn't even a partial retort because no part of the OP's point relies on there being no instances of attempts to improve things. And even if it did then you could take counter-examples for the UK and USA as well.
