      The irony of you tooting about 1A, celebrating your “right” to free speech, based on your ability to post something in a forum where 1A doesn’t apply.

      It’s delicious.

        celebrating your “right” to free speech

        Offtopic: so these quotes mean you doubt that it is a right too?

        1A doesn’t apply for what mods do, but it seems mods agree that his opinion belongs here.

        1A does apply for him not being prosecuted for saying it anywhere. BTW, things like swatting gun rights’ supporters’ homes do in effect break 1A.

        So there’s a valid combination where there’s nothing “delicious” in your meaning in his comment - that’s if he meant that people in some other countries are more reserved with their opinions online because of fear of being flagged by police. I’d say it has some merit - slippery slopes work in reality.

        Also I think I’ve read something about Australia, refugees, detention and human rights activism of the level a bit more sinister than in US.

      You make it sound like thats unique to the US and a foreign concept to the rest of the world.

      Freedom of speech doesn’t mean you won’t face consequences of what you say.

            So free speech that is constitutionally protected is a sign of an underdeveloped nation? Weird viewpoint but ok you do you.

            The US is the only country with a flag on the moon, from where I live I can watch weekly launches into space. Europe depends upon us for manned launches. Our military is also more advanced than any other nation and is globally dominant which reinforces our hegemony.

            We are one of the largest energy exporters (which hopefully Biden will curb, I don’t want the US exporting so much Natural Gas and oil that it drives up our ultra low domestic prices and exposes us to higher over seas rates. Preventing further global warming is a good bonus).

            Did I mention that our economy is larger and is growing faster than the EU? Nearly forgot that one… https://statisticstimes.com/economy/united-states-vs-eu-economy.php

            Seems like we have a few things going for us.

      And we have the freedom to call you out on your American bullshit (that doesn’t even work in the US).

        Ok, I appreciate the update. I don’t really take the opinions of foreigners seriously so it’s good to know where you stand.

          …if you don’t “take the opinions of foreigners seriously”, then why would you - a foreigner - share your opinion?

          Grab both of your brain cells, and use em to find someone more on your level, okay? And trust me, “more on” is wording I’m sure you’re familiar with.

              I’m sorry, my “more on” quip was just… Too good.

              There’s no way you or I can top it. Good day.

                If you are amused by that “quip” then you should try sensory deprivation, you’d be rolling on the floor in no time.
