Tibet.
Name me a flaw.
Tibet's current state
While the international laws describing what makes a "country" are rather vague (see also: Sealand), the most important factor is having other countries recognize you as such. Right or wrong, Tibet was invaded and lost. No matter how noble they might be, it's hard to take a government-in-exile seriously unless they have some major leverage with other nations.

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 thought thats the reason youre allowed to carry guns.
I am led to believe that part of the reason for the second amendment to the USA's Constitution was the spectre of English Imperialism and a likely counter-revolution after your tea party.
Fortunately, the UK now has most of the dubious "benefits" of modern North American culture.
These include, but are not limited to:-
Hundreds of differing, all rubbish, 10 mins of ads every 5 mins of programme, right-wing biased, politically inept TV channels,
Thousands of "restaurants" selling processed sick masquerading as food in little, plastic boxes,
Obesity, heart-disease and pan-demic cholesterol poisoning, not to mention bad breath (from both ends),
90+ minute, violent, sexually explicit, product placement exercises pretending to be films,
School leavers with a standard of education that means they are unable to do much more then fill in their names and addresses on tax forms,
Ever increasing violent crime statistics,
Corrupt, racist police and a spitefully vindictive, horribly unfair and prejudiced, adversarial legal system,
Cup cakes,
Crumbly candy bars,
Consequently, there is no need for the UK to invade the USA, as we have everything of note that you have anyway... in spades.
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.
After all; if it's good enough for Richard (curse you, ccp filth-filter  ) Cheny (never was a politician more aptly named), then it's good enough for you.
Praise the Lord and pass the hollow points Jethro.

It's already here. It's called sexual harrassment.
All you anti-american people make me laugh sometimes. You read a story like this then start getting these horrid ideas about the US.
Remember, we're the country that likes to sue! Mcdonalds lost money because some lady decided to put hot coffee between her legs. They didn't tell her to put hot coffee between their legs but it ended up being their fault.
A man breaks into a house and gets shot by the homeowner. He wins a settlement for being shot.
If the penalty for cursing were actually real our jails would be packed to the brim. I personally would be in there for years with the trash that comes out of my mouth sometimes. Hell, our entire military would be in jail.
And smoking was banned in all public places except the bars, bowling alleys (still being fought as it's a place of family), and your own home. So instead of sitting at Denny's for hours smoking we have to step outside every 20 minutes (Big whoopity doo). Atleast our smokes still only cost $3.5
Atleast it hasn't gotten to the point where I look out my window and see the kremlin everywhere with loudspeakers blaring propaganda 24/7. Yes we have our faults but I challenge anyone to find a faultless country.
The problem isnt that we read a story like that, we read several stories like that. Each and everyday, its ridiculus.
A women is getting sued for swearing... If we did that over on this side of the pond, I would be a very poor person (which I am, but thats another story )

If you've ever been a US'er, and ever stood before the White House...
I stood before the White House for my first time just about a year ago. As much as I disagree with the opinions of the White House's current occupant, our President, I could not help but be dumbstruck by the majesty of the place. I called my mother on the phone. "Hey mom! Guess where I am!"
I could never assault the White House. I would defend it, even given the tool that currently occupies it.

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. Pretty soon, we're all drinking tea and eating bad sausages. We'll have drive by arguments, 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 won't fall for it. Resist! Resist!

Exactly what I'm getting at. Everybody over here swears. If this lady was really going to court for swearing and facing jail time then you'd think that everyone would be going to jail. The only thing I can think of would be misconduct in public or something.
Others have posted stories of chavs beating up kittens and urinating on old ladies while they're dieing but I don't automatically assume that the country is bad, it just has it's share of problems. That's the point I was trying to make.

As far as I am aware, the only thing that the Queen has ever led is the conga line on New Year's Eve at I-paid-for-that-with-my-taxes-and-now-you-want-more-cash-so-I-can-see-it-you-smug-rich-bastards Palace.
I also find the idea that Congress might actually become personally involved in any armed conflict, rather than conscripting large numbers of the uneducated and poor to die for them, as likely as the Pope getting a saturday job at a Dutch brothel.
You do have a point about Clarkson, but would Fox News be such a loss anyway?
Also, our version of "football" is at least appropriately named; there being at least occasional contact of the ball with feet. Your version is more like Rugby, only with lots of padding in case someone, {insert name of favourite deity here} forbid, should break a nail.
As for tea and proper, British bangers; you don't deserve either and we refuse to share them with you.

Sure, but I think we'd both like to see her try. I'll bring the beer.

They'll try getting conscription going, but the bill will be hung up in committee.

What's funny is - if someone in a chat channel started typing in all caps, everyone in here would be *****ing about it and telling him to stop. Yes, its the end of the world for democracy if a locality has a law that says the episodes of yelling obscenities is wrong, especially after being warned by a law enforcement agent. |

I think the laughable point of the story is that she wasn't in public  She's being charged with swearing inside her own home. They should sue the damn kid for eavesdropping, her father for bringing her up to listen in on her neighbour in the bathroom and the Judge for being a moron & allowing such a farce into the courtroom in the first place. America  We love you guys for just being...you.

Once again, I'll repeat the obvious for the morons that have a hard time figuring this one out. The charge was NOT for swearing. The charge was for DISORDERLY CONDUCT. If your stereo is playing very loud and the neighbors can hear it next door the cops can drop by and give you a warning or write you a ticket for disturbing the peace. If the person themselves are causing the commotion they get a DISORDERLY CONDUCT charge, usually another ticket. The same goes for arguements such as in the apartment next door or even a house. EVERY COUNTRY HAS SIMILAR LAWS and I've read plenty of stories about nice euro cops giving their chav's (or whatever you like to call them) plenty of grief over the same things. You could probably find plenty of those types of cases on youtube.
The article only mentions the swearing. It doesn't mention how loud, how many times the cops have come by in the past, or the incident details themselves. In most cases stuff like this make it to the courtroom because it was on the extreme edge. But giving the full story doesn't get as much interest as a watered down version like what you just read or cause you to post/chain-email all over the place. Because of its stupid title and writing it will circulate and the site gets tons of hits (and their advertisers stay happy).
