I'd like to see some of the jingoists on here prove that America is more free than any other country in the world. Prove it. I don't think many of them have ever been to another country. I believe about 75% of the world's nations are just about as free or more than the USA. I think the USA is actually falling very far down the list of free countries actually.
I'd like to hear reasons. Don't list the usually hellholes that are the exceptions like Haiti, Iran, Libya or North Korea, let's hear comparisons to France, Sweden, Barbados, Bolivia, Thailand, Ghana, Kenya, not places like the Dominican Republic where you took Christian youth group missions to the poorest parts of that country.
America is not the freest country in the world, it is probably much closer to fascism than many people think.

I love these people that think America wouldn't ban books or free speech. Trust me baby, it's happening! I've been a victim of it!

Meh, David or whatever you call yourself, like a typical American, you list some of the world's bigger hellholes, instead of listing the vast majority of countries that are just as free, if not more free than America. Then you say that in Europe, they will not give jobs to foreigners. HAHA, you haven't been in the job market here long, have you, it's the SAME thing. Friends give each other jobs, it's the way of the world.
I think you're late for Karate practice kid...CYA.

Because americans are irrogant and pretentious and have a overwhelming sense of entitlement. We are in a free fall compared to the rest of the world and most people as will be evident in your many american is the greatest responses don't have a clue or will not admit it!

"Prove it. I don't think many of them have ever been to another country"
That's quite presumptuious to say. You must not have a very broad or educated mileu in which you associate, which already says a lot about you.
Let's begin:
Facist from the Italian word Fasci which literally means any extremist political groups of many different (and sometimes opposing) orientations.
I am not entirely sure you can call this country Facist, Republicans are out of touch, and Democrats are unable to act, but neither are too differing to be extremists.
I would suggest trying any BanaRepublic out there and let me know if you enjoy being in Kenya, Uganda, Ethipoia, Trinadad. If the government doesnt get you, the poor people will, usually most people who leave thise countries dont go back for fear of being kidnapped and held for randsom or killed for their money.
We enjoy a very good quality of life here in the States, what we do with it or make of it is our concern and defines you as a citizen of this county.
Europe does enjoy a high standard of living, but try getting a job there when your an American, they frown upon giving jobs to foreigners instead of their own. Here in the US many immigrants enjoy hospitality, even some who arent even citizens yet.
We are in a very disturbing political climate in this country right now, and that has to change, the current government is not representing the people at all. Shady voting practices got these officials in, lets hope we can regulate this in the future to have a better tommorow.
I love this country depsite its flaws, its my home!

England is the most free country in the world. Fact. Far less racism than the USA. We don't have white trees and areas like high schools in America.. "cough jena cough."
Free Speech and Oh, public health care too boot. In fact England is too free. We even let people hold protests against England. It's well known how too welcoming England are to immigrants.

Maybe they have not even been outside the borders of their own country?
I don't see how a country where they have death penalty can be the most free contry in the world. For me that is the ultimate assault.
And how can it be free when it's almost only the rich people who can get a great education?
..but you still have your guns. Don't forget that.

After I have been living many places around the world, I will say Thailand. I can't find a better living condition and happiness better than here. No Tax, no stress, warm climate, and soooo cheap living expenses.

To be frank, most Americans rarely, if ever get out of the USA.
America is on the short list of best countries to live in. I think we are number five.

I'm certainly no jingoist but you really should test your hypothesis by moving from one of those countries to another until we no longer hear you reporting how free you are there. Perhaps you would actually live in 2 or 3 countries before you disappeared after giving a failing grade to the government in power.
I hear, after their recent losses, the Myanmar monks are looking to recruit a few good men, perhaps you could start there. You're certainly free to leave the US...with our blessings...and our prayers!

My grandma has been everywhere in the world and she says this country is as free as it gets. Can you name a country with more freedom than we have here? Nope. If anything we're tied with the rest of the free world, and lightyears ahead of the hell holes you mentioned. Just keep in mind, it could be a lot worse. We are not the fascist police state that propaganda websites repeatedly claim we are.

do a splash greater study on line and learn Perotcharts besides as many different web pages. somewhat, the internet national debt of the u . s . is close to $10 trillion plus the as quickly as a year working value variety is approximately $3 trillion yet we've had to borrow approximately $a million trillion to maintain the equipment working. we've had a deficit annual value variety for 3 years in a row. The projection of our ought to handle plenty greater debt to proceed warfare and bail out the non-public loan industry who've thousands and thousands of private loan defaults and foreclosure on their books, is marvelous to even beginner pupils of economics. Too undesirable they have in no way taught economics interior the common public college equipment. in reality, it somewhat works like your loved ones's value variety. in case you maintain working in need of income to pay all your costs each and each month and shop borrowing money and working up costs on your pastic playing cards, ultimately you purely can't meet the money. in case you do no longer pay, the foreclose on your place or kick you out of your apt. They foreclose on your holiday and something they are able to take decrease back. that is purely ought to greater and much slower once you're speaking a pair of complete usa, despite the fact that it has a real parallel. notably plenty the comparable, once you get all the way down to the backside of it. in case you need to get curious, that is all available interpreting on line. prolonged inflation finally ends up in corporation slowdown and layoffs, not greater credit, jobs get difficult to impossible to locate and, if it is going on too long, you have a melancholy like the single the U. S. had interior the Nineteen Thirties. there grew to become right into a terrrible melancholy in Germany interior the Nineteen Thirties, too. bear in mind how they have been given in the back of the useful orator who led them into WW2. He introduced rapid exchange with the aid of renouncing all national debt, invading Poland and issues have been finding super for them until they have been counterattacked with the aid of something of the international. So it is going.
