will america ever become a free country like Holland, Australia and those in scandinavia?

Question

or will we always be controled by the state?

Answer 1

You need to get out more. Scandanavia isn't a country, and none of the countries you mentioned are as free as the USA (for now). If you want to live in a socialist utopia where the state controls most facets of your life then go to one of those countries. Or you you can wait another 10 years and I am sure the one-worlders will have us living like those slaves soon enough.

Answer 2

I don't know much about Canada or America but I find it alarming that a lot of refugees coming to Australia are not screened for things such as tuberculosis which has previously been eradicated in Australia. I find it most insulting that on Australia day when we wear our nations colours proudly, we are labelled as white supremacists & thugs It is a fact that the minorities run our country. If your not indiginous or an imigrant your entitled to zip it seems that Australia takes in anyone that nobody else wants I believe that when illegal immigrant in the USA are found they are very quickly despached back to where they came from In Australia our border protection bodies apprehend them, put them in a detention centre, but the vast majority are given refugee status & let stay in the country. If you want to enter legally you need to have a sponsor who can guarentee (by way of a large sum of money which the authorities hold in trust) that the immigrant won't claim benifits such as medicare & unemployment benifits. The other way of doing it is to have that money yourself to be put in trust I don't know about crime rates dropping, maybe they would

Answer 3

Probably controlled by the State. It has grown 40% the last 12 years and is not slowing down by any means. Over 50% of Americans get significant income from the government so they are making sure the State rules. That is why big spending politicians are usually re-elected; that is what people want.

Answer 4

What kind of freedom are you talking about, you mean gays having sex on the streets, heroin and weed on every street corner, legal prostitution, child pron and every deviant life style in the open. I don't know about Australia, but the Scandinavia countries are like that. I sure don't want that crap here we have enough perversion as it is. I am free to do what ever I want here, what freedoms have been taken from you? Name a few.

Answer 5

Depends on your definition of freedom. The USA has many freedoms that the above mentioned ones do not. The primary one is the right to bear arms. The Swiss are the only Europeans that have more gun rights than Americans. Also, Americans are free to keep more of their income than the above mentioned countries that have up to 70% tax rates.
Of course if you refer to legal drug use, prostitution, anf gay rights, then I am not sure it will hppen in our life time.
I think one must weigh out what rights they think are most important, and if they think the costs of the freedoms they want are worth it, learn the language (the ones you mentioned do NOT allow the degree of invasion by non citizens that the USa does) and move to one of them.

Answer 6

free is a big word do something wrong and see how free you become.i would like someone to define the word free country[free speech you can be arrested]free rights you can be arrested]etc etc etc.but yes we will allways be controlled by something or someone.

Answer 7

America is the free-est country there is....all of the other ones that you named are not as good as America they have more diseases than anything you have ever heard of....your lucky to live in America.

Answer 8

God, I hope we never become like any of them. Though Australia looks cool....Do they still descriminate against the Pygmies and bushmen in the outback their though? Thats not cool though...

Answer 9

We have more freedom than they do, just in different areas of life. No country has total freedom because anarchy just plain doesn't work.

Answer 10

Wait...we're NOT free?? Then what's up with that whole "Land of the Free" thing?? We need to change that. I think we're giving illegal aliens the wrong perception of us!!
