Few Americans want to do it, but in America you can't be thrown in jail for holocaust denial.
Muslim girls can wear their traditional headscarf in America, but not in France.
We can pay cash for our doctor if we want to in order to have the doctor we want and without waiting months if we want to, unlike Canada.
We can buy, own, and lawfully use firearms, unlike any of the countries you mentioned.
Yes, we are still free, regardless of what the ultra liberal people say.

America well..... I have to say that basically America is a total paradox ever exist to every human life.
America is a volatile place right now... Sorry to say. From there comes all the greatness of life, but also derives all the dreadful lifestyle...
Since America ages only more less 600 years old, so America is considered as one of the youngest countries in the world.
Yes America helped and helps for many positive humanitarian things in this world. America do have such a big contribution to this world, but at the same time America also really display and portray how shameful, horrendous, shallow and wicked they are towards many things in this life. America creates order BUT also chaos at the same time...
They make not only fantastic war movies but also make the REAL wars in reality.... and they do enjoy wars like playing playstation. They are full of hope and greatness but they are also full of hatred, anger, wickednesses and hang ups. American lives their life in such a spectacular way compare to other countries on this planet. But at the same time American do live in such a tiny bubble and fuzzy dreams ever. America is smarter than smart, but they also stupider than stupid. They are very open-minded but also such a narrow-minded at once.
America is the chaos and the order at the same time-. America not only makes great creations to the world but also painful and traumatic destructions emotionally or physically..... for sure.

relies upon what usa you're in and their regulations. In u.s. it would want to be free speech if the crew chanting it had the right to rally jointly. If there are 3 human beings on the nook chanting lack of existence to u.s. with no longer correct to rally and 10 everybody is indignant and want to kick the three's asses then the three are inciting violence and now no longer have a correct to free speech. It comes all the way down to majority rule at that aspect. Freedom of speech isn't an absolute freedom like many ignore to comprehend. merely like you cant bypass right into a movie theater and yell fireplace. clone of when you're on the travellers football sport and someone receives pissed because you're cheering for the different crew.

You ever heard the saying, "Freedom isn't free". Well, America's free alright, but there's been a lot of people over the centuries who have had to pay the price for this freedom. Those people are not the ones who scream and cry aloud "This is a free country isn't it?" Those people who have paid the price for the freedom, either in time spent in war defending us, or those even moreso injured in defending our freedom, don't have to ask or even wonder your question. They know it's free because they have paid the bill, and they know others who have paid it with their very lives. I can be prayerfully thankful that my son came back in one piece from his second tour of duty in Iraq. We've both paid the price at one level or another, therefore we don't ever have to ask or wonder your question. We KNOW it's free. We've paid the bill. God Bless America. God Bless you.

I would say all of the countries you mentioned are "free." They have democratic governments. However Britain does have a state religion.

We are A free country, not the ONLY free country. We are free because millions of brave Americans have fought to keep us free. Those in the other countries you named are also free because millions of brave Americans fought for THEIR freedom.

It is a lot less free than it was 40 years ago.
I know one guy who found Bulgaria so much freer than the USA, he comes here about once every 2 years to make some money and then immediately returns to that country.
And he was born in the USA!!!

Have you ever lived in any of them? I have, in all of them.
Britain can and does control the news media.
France suspends Habeus Corpus at will.
Canada does what Britain does.
Australia, who knows.
Germany, who cares. You blow a whistle over there and people line up.
Just check these boards and you will see free speech in action.

The DIXIE CHICKS! Who gives a ***** about the Dixie chicks. Nobody threw them in jail! They were ridiculed in the court of public opinion, that is it. You can say whatever you want in the USA but that don't mean everyone will like it.
Of course we are free!

Other than Australia(thanks to John Howard), the USA is not about to be forcibly converted.
