I think The Netherlands is the country with most freedom! Why?
Here's why:
1. The right of speech
2. Media are really checking facts and do not give politicians a bad image because they want to influence politics
3. The right on abortion
4. The right for gays and lebians to "marry" (in reality it's a registered partnership)
5. Right on euthanasia
6. Good political system, not driven by commerce or donations
7. The right to use the "soft" drug maharuanha
8. Division between church and state
9. A prime minister that does not need to be a christian (unlike the US president, who can never be a atheist)
10. The freedom of religious education
11. Overall respect for minorities and religons?
What do you guys think?

Response to stormchaser:
There has never been a minister jailed.
There is one politicion prosecuted, but that was because of RACIST hate speech.

Let me put it this way:
Prostitution is legal and regulated, instead of illegal and unregulated. Which is better?
You can walk into a coffee shop and legally buy kick-azz marijuana. They do NOT have a significant drug problem.
Teenagers are given access to contraception and information about it. The emphasis is put on the pregnancy, NOT the sex. In the USA, our teen pregnancy rate is 9X that of the Netherlands.
I'd say that the Netherlands has got a pretty good idea of what works and what doesn't.

Liberals also claimed that Sept. 11 befell for this reason of putting US troops in Saudi Arabia, the position supposedly Islam's 2 holiest internet internet sites are placed. Liberals claimed that US help for Israel and really various "corrupt dictators" contained in the middle East were also area of the purpose of Sept. 11. honestly pretend. you're ideal - Osama Bin laden hated our Freedom. He learn the actuality of Independence and the bill of Rights, were given indignant, and then ordered the Sept. 11 attacks in an attempt to strengthen the TSA so it would take our Freedom away.

Oh really? Then if you really have Free Speech why is that minister in jail for Hate Speech? he was teaching a politically incorrect sermon wasn't he and the government did not separate themselves from getting into Church business did they? The same thing in Canada too.

It's never been measured but, yes, it's a free country. As for the right to own and carry weapons, it's not the wild west. The right to own and carry weapons is an American (not anybody else's) question and a major reason for decadence.

The Philippines has more freedom, the removal of a President by the people which is a great right not being exercised in other countries..
