Freedom, the thing America has, but you have to pay for everything, even to get married you have to pay. And all these laws, there are sooooooo many. Would you call America 'free'? What makes us more free then the people in Europe?

• i would like to say, respectfully, that you dont know what we're talking about. first off, our personal rights, as defined by the constitution, are fine, and what rights are being taken away, if i may ask, and your answer, is absolutely rubbish, its a run on, fragmented, pile of words that makes so sense

• Your name seems to fit you perfectly; except you don't know what your central government is doing to you. Have you ever read the USA Patriot Act II? Maybe you should. You have obviously never had to live around where Homeland Security is all the time and treat poeple baddly because they believe they are above the law and can do as they damn well please to people. Hitlers SS had nothing on thise thugs! Pull your head out of the sand or maybe elsewhere and do a little studying! Good bye...I'm finished with you. Mr. Knownothing

• I guess your right, and my history teacher made us seem like the stornget country in the world, but I heard North Korea has nuclear weapons, so I think America should stop bragging for a little bit

  Holey Crepe!! That's centuries ago!

  "Even very recently, half of Europe was behind the Iron Curtain and living a very similar life."

  Um, no. I was there more than once, and it was nothing like that. True they had less freedom, but it wasn't anything like you're describing.

  You say that Europe will not remain free for long. Actually, Europe has been free for ages now. You should actually try to visit one day. Your message it sounds like someone trying to get an idea of the average American family by watching Jerry Springer.

• And you are assuming that I haven't been there, that no one I know has been there and that I watch television. By the way, the only way to understand the constitution and the use of the word freedom in its context is to understand the times in which it was written, and that was centuries ago.

• Right. There are too many people on the planet and they all have an impact, including here at home. Regulation is necessary in order to avoid many adverse potential outcomes from, for example, over-fishing. This costs money.
