free country?

Question

What does "free country" mean to you? What does it mean to live in a "free country"?

Answer 1

Basically free to vote.

Answer 2

Just to reply to the above. We are not "Blessed" to live in America. The other countries are just really really screwed over.

The rights the constitution gives us are there to protect us from our government. I find it hard to believe how blind so many Americans are.

If you support the president above the constitution, and the government above the country, you are not an American. Living in America may make you an American citizen. But to be American is something more than simply living your life here. Being American means fighting for our freedoms.

Our soldiers right now are dieing. But not for your freedoms, or my freedoms or anyone in America's freedom.

In fact ALL I have seen since this mislead and criminal "War on terrorism" is our rights and freedoms, Protected by the united states constitution, being thrown out. Being ripped apart.

Bush and the government are essentially taking the constitution, loading it onto a couple of planes, and flying them into our buildings.

Wake up. Someone who would give up essential liberties for a little bit of TEMPORARY safety is neither American nor brave. They are nothing more than cowards.

To me, Freedom is a basic Human right. We have the right to walk where we want to walk. Eat what we want to eat. Love who we want to love and do what we want to do.

The only restrictions that should be in place are to prevent an action that would restrict these rights for other people. Such as murder.

Freedom is the ability to smoke a big fatty blunt right in front of the white house.
Freedom is the acknowledgment that you don't agree with what other people are saying, yet you don't try and stop them.

The freedom to do things everyone thinks is good is a useless freedom.

It's the freedom to do things that others may disagree with that matters.

I would rather die high, listening to crazy music, walking down the street laughing by a terrorists hand, than live where all I can do is go to work and then go home.

There is no point to saving our country if we do not have the constitutional freedoms Americans hold dear and traitors (including people in our own government) spit on.

Answer 4

It means different than the way you see it. I guess you allow everyone to be free, or could it be foreigner like me who have more than you ever will... So when you talk about a "Free Country", do you allow it to be free, who the hell are you to allow it, no one, remeber that, I can't believe that people such as yourself are still around. Max we do not live in Stone Age in case you forgot, nationalism does not mean to be racist, just being a proud and portective of USA. I guess a foreigner understand Amreican History better than you. I pity your empty soul...

certain and no. in evaluation to international places with both no/little or no authorities like somalia and afghanistan, it may look as although the US had a lot less freedom because we've extra rules. yet out economic opportunities supply us freedom that maximum in those failed states do no longer have. in evaluation with totalitarian governments like North Korea, we've critically extra freedom in our on a daily basis lives, yet we are nonetheless chained to the social contract that each democratic authorities has with it is people. finally, the question of even if we are free is in accordance to a lot extra complicated factors than only how a lot it expenditures to stay interior the U.S.
