She proceeds to say, “There are a couple of things that I must go over with you before you ultimately decide to live in this country. First, we have freedom of religion, speech, assembly, and so on. Second, you are all equals here with no discrimination. Finally, the children in this country tend to get vicious if they don’t get their way. They are also easily insulted so watch what you say. This behavior is said to be linked to videogames that are violent. You are more than welcome to go back to your country free of charge if you want.” About half leave. “For the ones who are courageous enough to stay, thank you, and welcome again,” she says.
