It was a nice experiment

I agree Rose, we have probably lost more freedom in the last few months than in the past 200 years combined. It is sad indeed that history must repeat itself once again. That the masses of humanity are once again so apathetic to the plight of their fellow man as to not care one whit about what's going on right now. It's the same story that's been going on throughout history and is likely to continue for some time into the future. I greatly fear what will happen in the next six years to this country, but I can only hope that one day something good will come out of all of our suffering. In the meantime, all we can do is resist to the best of our ability and try to help each other out through this time of troubles. God save us all.

oh, you poor slave. I pitty you, and all those hundreds of millions of americans who're being brutalized by the evil US regime... Where have the good ol' ways of the founding slavedrivers gone... Now just the other day, many american apolytoners were sent to the praries of alaska to mine deerdung, and the FBI went on patrolling the streets and taking people's money, to build an enormous statue of gold shaped like a penis.




Sometimes I am simply shocked by the feelings certain westner(Including Israelis) express. 'The end of the world is coming, blah blah'. Be it terror acts, the economy, or the americans living in their harsh despotic regime Note I am not saying that this law is a good thing, not at all. But saying things like

Well it's been a good run guys, USA has gotten itself into the history books and a few civ games. I guess it's time to call it quits.

Wouldn't be correct even if the president would zombify the congress. Turn soldiers on any corner, and napalm broadway. So this is no more than farting in the wind and singing.

People, don't forget that you've got it VERY good. Most of the people in the planet don't have even nearly the freedoms that you do.

Did no-one see this coming?

land of the free my ass

[Solly]

It's freer than Holland.

[Az]

Perhaps not Holland, but the vast majority of countries in the world, including many european countries.

I just keep wondering, Mark, aren't you tired of these little games? ( unless you're really sad because of the loss of freedoms by americans. )

[Sava]

I hate being right... (BRING ON THE FLAMES REPUBLICANS)

[Saint Marcus]

It's freer than Holland.

Coming from a Brit, that's almost funny

and if any nation is the land of the free, it would be pot smoking Holland, wouldn't it?

I just keep wondering, Mark, aren't you tired of these little games? ( unless you're really sad because of the loss of freedoms by americans. )

Apart from the easy trolling, I do feel sad. I have close personal relationships with a good number of Americans or Europeans living in America. Why do you think I visit that country so much?

[Solly]

It's a bit of a myth that Holland is free. Sure you can smoke pot, but that's about it. I can do that as well.

[Sava]

If I could legally smoke pot, I'd probably forget about a lot of America's problems

[Pekka]

Not correct. We are the most free. Sure you murricans have your guns and stuff, but we can actually use them freely! I can kill a man cold blood, and most likely get out in few years. If I'm drunk, then less. That's freedom.
Honestly speaking it feels comfortign that what ever I do by mistake (not killing, but accidentally), I won't have to serve time.

[TheStinger]

Most Western nations are free, in some countries you can do things that in others you can't. On the whole people are free though.
