Do Americans actually think they are 'free'? It looks to me they're mostly free to buy guns. Everything else is regulated and monitored.

> Everything else is regulated and monitored.
like most nations desu
america is very free compared to other countries
>mfw Europeans have to buy alcohol at government approved liquor stores

I can smoke indoors in my state and weed is legal.
gg cunt
>>52931830
they're also free to get shot by niggers.
>>52931830
They used to but now it's just another meme. They however still live in the illusion of freedom and their local propaganda has done a good job at keeping that pretense alive.

I'd say I have more negative liberty than finland. Only thing you memecunts have is a lower drinking age
>>52932117
We have free education. In here it's easier to get a good degree than to buy an assault rifle.
""""""""""free""""""""""
>>52932117
But those are all things that I thought were pretty common. The only thing we don't have here is the last one, but y'know you have to be pretty retarded to drive without basic safety measures.
>>52932139
>free
>>52931830
No I don't. I am legitimately applying for visa in a different country.
>>52932234
wanna switch countries?
Why aren't you Americans training to be a Navi Seal/Delta member and then turn Terrorists and kill cops and stuff?
>>52932181
Most people here who know anything about Chile consider it a pretty damn good place for the non-US/Canada Americas
>>52932139
"free" education.
That's a positive liberty, not a negative liberty.
Grats on your "free education" Pekka. But your taxes are insanely high because of that "free" shit. I like not being robbed 60% of my income.
>>52932181
It isn't though.
>>52932262
Sorry but no, I am not into Iceland
>>52932287
I can also trade denmark :(

Why aren't you Swedes trying to be abducted by aliens and then manufacture gummi bears?

They're not.

>can't drink until you're 21
>prostitution illegal in nearly every state
>highest percentage of population in prison in the whole world
Americucks aren't free
>>52931847
Not every country is like Singapore. The Netherlands is actually very free, just a few weird laws.
>>52932286
>I like not being robbed 60% of my income.
But you like getting robbed 300% of your income when you get sick?
>>52931878
And you have to be 21 to drink.
>>52932395
can you buy firearms easily in ned
i know not all nations are singapore, but many nations are only afew steps above us
>>52932343
>economic freedom
You dumb monkey. There's more to a society than money.
>>52932139
>We have FREE education. In here it's easier to get a good degree than to buy an assault rifle.
Being Finnish doesn't automatically make you any smarter than anyone else, so no, it's not "easier" to study here.
PS. Government grants are given to US students. Then there's study loans.
Have you ever pondered how expensive our education is? Maybe you'll think that thought after 40+ years of paying high amounts of tax on everything you do and don't do.
>>52932370
>drinking age
Irrelevant when you compare the other freedoms listed here>>52932117 and in the bill of rights
>prostitution illegal in nearly every state
This isn't a practical problem, so it ought to be treated as if it were legal.
>prison pop
Don't deal drugs. That's all you need to do not to end up in prison.
>>52932395
>But you like getting robbed 300% of your income when you get sick?
Except I have health insurance, Van Dijk.
>>52932370

>can you buy firearms easily in ned
It's not difficult, just takes more than a year.
>>52932963
And still you pay out of your arse
>>52933182
I would have less disposable income if I lived in your country and was taxed to shit rather than paying 170 dollars a month for health insurance.
>>52933223
>$170/m for health insurance
I pay less than that for insurance and taxes combined
>>52931830
>Everything else is regulated and monitored.
Neither of these things are true.
>>52933431
Because your income is less than mine.
I make around 100k a year.
>>52933537
That is probably right, I make just more than minimum wage, which is about 1/5th of what you earn.
>>52931830
The USA is probably the best developed nation for sociopaths and the "fuck you I've got mine" kind of people.
They hate their government for some reason though despite all the best laws being at a federal level and loads of states having shit laws.
>>52933604
Wouldn't have it any other way.
>>52933604
>not hating government
I seriously hope you guys don't do this.
>>52933691
Not in the childish "MUH FREEDUM" way yanks do.
>>52932343
>US think tank that pushes free-market policies ranks US as having not the most free-market policies
wow
>>52933718
That is literally the only non-childish reason to hate government.
>>52933718
most people hate the government here for shit like lobbying, you think you know a lot more about us than you actually do.
>>52933604
>though despite all the best laws being at a federal level and loads of states having shit laws.
It's the exact opposite you fucking retard.
>>52933807
i didn't even catch that lmao, wew lad @ this brit
>>52933718
>Has a Queen
>Always monitored on CCTV
>Claims to do anything but suck his governments cock
Nice meme
>>52933760
It really isn't, laws at a national level are pretty much always a good thing in developed nations.
>>52933777
>lobbying
Probably the most American thing possible, what's the point in getting pissed at your government for acting like every other American?
By no means is it restricted to your government, for example the Conservatives in the UK have loads of shares in the companies that are privatising lots of things in the UK.
>>52933807
lol

And?
>Always monitored on CCTV.
NSA is much better amirite?
>>52933918
lmao the fact that some faggot from the UK thinks he understands american politics and american mentality better than americans themselves is fucking mindblowing
really, get hit by a truck, pls
>>52933918
>It really isn't, laws at a national level are pretty much always a good thing in developed nations.
Name one when it comes to the US that isn't Constitutional law. Name fucking one.
>>52933918
and my favorite meme is that youre somehow grouping americans into one monolithic consciousness that have the same views on everything
Do we need licence for this?
Is it free to drive on the road like bike?
>>52933918
Mass surveillance is ranked worse in the UK than the US.
>Privacy International's 2007 survey, covering 47 countries, indicated that there had been an increase in surveillance and a decline in the performance of privacy safeguards, compared to the previous year. Balancing these factors, eight countries were rated as being 'endemic surveillance societies'. Of these eight, China, Malaysia and Russia scored lowest, followed jointly by Singapore and the United Kingdom, then jointly by Taiwan, Thailand and the United States. The best ranking was given to Greece, which was judged to have 'adequate safeguards against abuse'.[4]

Yes you're free to do both, but get turn signals and brake lights. The rest of us are free to fucking hate your poor ass.
