How can America be Free more than anyother country in the world as I hear this country has freedom and is land of the free i want to know how. Also if it was Free why is it that when I tell people how it is in this country compared to my nativeland of Germany how it was when I was there they tell me "If you don't like it here why don't you go back to where you came from?" whats weird is all americans except the indians are immigrants just look at your ancestry so if I should go back where I came from then so should everyone else as even though they were born in the usa their ancestors wasn't. I'm not the only person that is getting told this go back where you came from like the guy who's profile is Laswap. My mom's friend gets told the same and she has been here since 30 yrs i think and when someone tells her to go back she tells them i would but don't get paid enough to go back since she has bills to pay of course. So How is this country Free tell me I want to finally know.

You are Free. Free to complain, Free to work, Free to not work. Free to insult, and free to be insulted.
In America more than any other county, you have the ability to do more things without the government telling you you can't. But we are not perfect, and not everyone is nice. That is also part of the freedom. In every place in every world you will find people that hate, people that don't understand.
If you are comparing Germany to America, There are positive aspects to both countries, but if you are complaining about America and Saying Germany is better. Why would you be surprised that people would sya why don't you go back.
But maybe you are just making a comparison, it can be an interesting exorcize. But there are always going to be those that don't understand what you are trying to do, they will think simply by comparing the two countries you are saying Germany is better. This makes people defensive, and whenever you corner a dog it will lash out, so that is what these people do. they lash out.
My guess is that if your accent is as strong as your writing makes it out to be people are automatically going to assume you are bashing America, because you simply don't have the ability to make your point as clear as it needs to be for these people to realize what you are doing. So have patience and realize that most of us don't want yo to go back to Germany.
For America is Free, and you have the freedom to choose, if you want to stay or if you want to leave. But know one is going to force you to leave, Unless you are here illegally or if you commit treason towards America.
So you have nothing to fear, hear in the land of the free and the home of the Brave.

One aspect of being in a free country is that your are theoretically free to leave at any time, yes.
Americans do have a lot of official rights and freedoms gauranteed in the Constitution - more than most of us ever get around to exercising, really. We also have a lot of legal, quasi-legal, and social abridgements of those freedoms that we accept without much thinking about it. I guess you could say that they're cultural limitations on our freedom that we don't recognize, because we've internalized them.
Aside from that, I feel the need to correct a misaprehension you seem to harbor. People are never immigrants to the land /in which they were born/. It doesn't matter where your ancestors may have come from - ultimately, scientists say, all our ancestors came from the shores of a prehistoric lake somewhere in Africa - it's where /you/ come from that matters.
Judging people by thier ancestry is generally frowned upon. I'd think a German would be particularly aware of how unjust that sort of thing is.

It's free enough that people can say, "go home," while others are saying, "Don't listen to them".
People who disagree, living here, the same place, from all cultures, bringing the best (and sometimes some bad things) from all over the world. And in a culture where competition is strong, the good survives and becomes, "American".
You mean they shouldn't have the freedom to tell you that?
Or that you shouldn't have the freedom to stay?
I'm confused now. Who SHOULDN'T be doing what they are doing just so you can fee free by forcing them not to do it?

Compared to Germany you actually do have about the same rights. Most Western European countries have about equal civil rights as the united states. The United states is much more free than man countries, Germany just happens to not be one of them.

The freedom is about to become what you want to become. When the USA was founded most came from England where there was a class system and snobbery. You were unable to rise about the station in which you were born, where in the USA you could raise or fall on your own merits. If you think this country's meaning of free, getting something for nothing you are badly misinformed, I would not tell you to go back where you came from, but I would ask you to rethink your views of what we have to ofter

Free speech doesn't mean unbiased speech. Of course there are people out there trying to influence everything to get the own goals accomplished. The way things are going I am leaning towards believing that it might not be the richest lobbiest group that has the power but that which has the strongest public opinion, the sum of those for and against it. That has the true power.

I was born in Illinois. If I go back to where I came from it would be in the USA. Immigrants here are treated TOO comfortably. No other nation would be this welcome to immigrants, legal or illegal. If I were to go to Mexico or even Germany and complain about my 'Rights', I'd be arrested.
If all your gonna do is complain about how bad it is here, then you are 'FREE' to leave.

The reason people are telling you to " go back where you come from" is because if you don't like our country, and your "native country is so much better, get the HELL out!! WE like it, and don't like people that immigrated here, legally or not, complaining about it.
I'll repeat what they said, if you don't like it, LEAVE!!!!
It is a free country, and you are FREE to leave if you don't like it!!!!!

Don't complain about our country! If you don't like it please leave. We are here because we love our country, not because we could not make a living somewhere else.
Apparently its providing a better living for your family than would happen in germany. So quit whining, and learn some composition and grammar.

That's probably the longest run-on sentence I've ever seen in my life...93 words long. I'm sorry, but if you don't understand the concepts of democracy, republicanism, government, restraint, laws etc., I certainly can't educate you in a short question and answer forum. I suggest you take some classes on history, government, law and ethics.
