Every single country in Europe does. From Portugal in the west to Ukraine in the east (with the exception of Belarus), from Iceland in the north to Greece in the south (not too sure about all the Ex-Yugoslavian countries, tho). Plus many more around the world (Australia and New Zealand for sure, possibly Japan too). Even in Latin America you don't go to jail automatically anymore if you say something against the government.

I think the flag burning issue can serve as a reference point: What does happen if you burn a star spangled banner publicly? Will that result in you being prosecuted? Even sentenced?

Unlike many other Europeans i think the U.S. are a really great country and Americans are definitely much smarter than some over here tend to think (ok, i'm biased since my Master is American)
But i also think that many Americans should open up their eyes and minds and realize that the outside world isn't just a bunch of commies, primitives or terrorists.

Most of us are in fact pretty much like you


Edit: Sorry, i didn't want to mess with your thread. I'll stay out of it now
