Do you get annoyed b/c America is a 'free' country, but?

Question

yet it really isn't in some ways? I mean you can't even

-do what you want on your own property w/out permission

-wear the clothes you want to wear

-freedom of speech is no longer if you don't have anything nice to say.( there are consequences is you say something they don't like)

-we have limits on how much of a medicine we can buy at drugstores

-we cannot express religion in many areas

-we have the freedom to vote, but the campaign has already been decided

-we HAVE to wear seat belts or we get punished

-smokers can't smoke where they want to

-censoring; there goes the freedom of speech and expression again

-you can't do what you want with your own body

-gambling is now illegal in many places, you can't even spend your hard earned money how you want

-breastfeeding is not allowed in public in my state

-in Alabama it is illegal to wear a fake mustache to church

These are a few of the things that really burn my a$$. How do you all feel?

Answer 1

Obama is showing that we will loose freedom of speech! Yahoo is in his pocket as well every time you go against the Messiah they go to coffee break!

Answer 2

You are referring to anarchy, not freedom.

Answer 3

Well I guess it comes down to how much freedom you get within limits because people almost never get used to the idea of discipline.  I mean when youre used to getting what you want the feelings or safety of others seems to go right out the window.

Answer 4

America ISN'T a "free" country its a DEMOCRACY there is a difference.
