Could I sue the US for false advertisment proclaiming itself "the land of the free" where people can be brought before a court for swearing at a broken toilet in their own house?
Surely a 12 year old should be very familiar with swearing by that age

I don't have a child. Thankfully. But if I did have one, I wouldn't like it subjected to a "profanity-laced tirade".
Yeah, I support the prosecution.
It's gonna hear those kind fo things anyway, it's up to you as a parent to explain it to them and put it in proper context. Denying your duty to teach your child just that will make you a bad parent, so im glad you dont have any children.
Agreed - but maybe it's an American think. I understood the concepts of most proffanity when I was 9 years old, found out what **** meant when I was 13 in an amusing story that I shall not retell here

Really, go to France? Could I bring my World War II memorabilia and sell it on Ebay with a picture. No. Should I go to England and have a tirade on a cigarette pack and have the neighbors smell it? No.
Realy now, we have democracy here in the sense that if people want a ban on smoking in public they get it. In the US you would have lobbyists screaming not to do it because it would hurt their revenue. As for France? Hell, they lost over a hundred thousand young soldiers in the first month of WW2, why does it surprise you that a country BORDERING Germany would surrender it's 40 million population after such a slaughter?
Germany outclassed France and the French had enough balls to accept this and fight a gurilla resistance because they couldn't win a direct war.

My uncle has lived and worked in the US for about 15 years now as a contract manager for a european helicopter manufacturer and i've heard some sad, sad stories about the state of american society.
Interesting thing is that only people who aren't living in the country can truely comment on it.
I live in Britian, I am naturaly surrounded by people praising Britian and hence could be slightly deluded in my views. The Dutch and Germans are the only people I have been able to get hard and true versions of Britian from that are mostly unbias.
America, I have no want to get involved with, but if they start saying that Britian has no freedom and the like then I will be very, very scared, because it is then showing something like a mass nationalism like what Germany and Italy had around 70 years ago...

I put it to the septics in here, that the reason for the Second Amendment no longer exists, but please don't let that discourage your countrymen from shooting each other at every available opportunity.
You Brits would like that, wouldn't you? Just when Americans put all their guns away, *bam*, the Queen comes in, personally leading the charge against the Continental Congress.
Britian lots - America 2

Jeremy Clarkson will replace Fox News with 24 hours of Ferrari engine pictures (which somehow manages to be more informative than the original channel), and "Football" gets replaced by "Football".
I fail to see the downside.
