is the United States the center of the world?

[QUOTE="Storm_Marine"]

What's an example of a good country?

Storm_Marine

High taxes, low temperatures, and lots of free crap.

Whatever floats your boat.

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"][QUOTE="chessmaster1989"] A country without free speech is not an example of a good country...Storm_Marine

Either it's free or it isn't.

In other words, UK-ers are children that go crying to the goverment if someone hurts their sensitive feelings.

I think you will find England is the centre of the world as we pretty much created and ran everything else at one point.

[QUOTE="ColdExistence"]Norway, Sweden, Finland. Those are pretty decent. Got some family living in Norway.

Whatever floats your boat.

It's sub-par perhaps, but healthcare is just as 'free' where i live as it is in Scandinavia.

For the record, I am not American, and my country is almost as bad as yours for hate speech and politcal correctness laws.

[QUOTE="Deihjan"][QUOTE="Austindro"]

You mean your mouth.

Austindro

Typical third world country feet.

:lol:

we definitely are. No other country dictates what goes on around the world more than the US. Everyone knows who our leader is, but we could care less about who runs other countries. Why is this? do you think the United States of America is the center of the world?ZumaJones07

Ignorant and arrogant idiot.

[QUOTE="Deihjan"] High taxes are what makes the Scandinavian countries tick. We have health care way more superior to your sub-par, anti-poor people health care system. At least we don't bill people thousands of dollars/local currency for a regular health checkup or send them to jail when they can't pay their medical bills due to working three below-minimum wage jobs and having lost their house and are now living in a trailer park.Deihjan

If I was Danish, I'd say "You're welcome"

Never ceases to amaze me the ignorance about the US that gets spouted by non citizens. Shots are free when you have insurance. And insurance is just another way to pay rather than high taxes.LJS9502_basic

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] You're free to say them....but you have to deal with the consequences if you cause violence. So...um...yeah.:DSolidSnake35

Uhm that is not the same thing. Examples ofspeech that is illegal in the US would be threats and offensive verbal attacks. If you say f*ck you to someone they can press charges.

Same here. If you shout hate speech, you deal with the legal consequences.SolidSnake35

I used to be extremely poor and the US government provided Medicaid. US is def behind in providing healthcare for all it citizens but there are options.

Nope, despite how some Americans like to think.

There are only consequences when it involves assault.

Edit: Or treason but that should go without saying.

You are responsible even if someone does not get hurt. So technically it is a restriction, some speech should be regulated.

[QUOTE="Austindro"]

[QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] Both are examples of restrictions on free speech. In both instances, you CAN say those things but have to deal with consequences. I'm not seeing how the US offers unchecked free speech here, like someone suggested earlier.SolidSnake35

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"][QUOTE="SolidSnake35"] So there are restrictions...InEMplease

I think I see what you're saying with no restrictions. It's all about the manner in which free speech is used. Use it wrong, expect consequences.
