Maybe instead of comparing the US to the worst states in the world, it would be better to compare it to the best and see if it can be improved.

What else could happen if someone criticized their government that would be better? I didn't say the U.S. was the only place that allowed its citizens to criticize its government, but it's certainly better than other places. I simply want people to be grateful and quit taking their freedoms for granted.

Btw, something I didn't mention, malac. Do you understand how our government works at all? The Supreme Court does not make laws, it interprets the Constitution and determines if a law passed by Congress is constitutional. If a law like that were ever passed, you would have to look at the Congress, which, at this point in time, is made up of mostly Democrats and liberals. You have a problem with what rights you have? Blame them.

Firstly, how are we taking our freedoms for granted. Secondly, yes I learned about how the supreme court works long ago since middle school. Didn't need to read your description of how so, thanks.

I think this will be my last post on this topic lol, spending too much time looking at it I'll stop by to read it now and then.

Lol. I thought we were supposed to take our freedoms for granted. Freedom is a right.

I really hope you're kidding. <_<

Freedom is not free. Go join the military, maybe you'll learn that freedom is earned.

Only when bastards try to take it away. Then you're justified in using violence to get it back. Sounds like a right to me?

That's one extremely large child!
