1. united states
2. no
3. because i cannot marry a man while smoking meth out of his urethra

Nope. US. I have no control over the course of the government and my rights are disappearing daily because most of the citizens are fucking pussies.

It's possible that you just do, say, and think very dull things.

3. Cops don't taze on a whim, no evidence that we rig our elections.

Because our government has no interest in protecting rights of citizens, it only has in interest in keeping a majority of the population happy enough that they won't attempt revolution. Happiness is not the same thing as freedom. Most of the rights Americans believe they have are illusions. The right to free speech? You don't have it (not even when excluding things like threats and other commonly excluded types of speech). If you say anything the government doesn't like, they will find ways to harass you. The right to vote? Elections in the US are fraudulent, among the most rigged elections in the world. Furthermore, the flawed voting system in use guarantees a 2-party duopoly where both parties are paid for by the same corporations. You can bet that it has already been decided who is going to win between Obama and Romney (betting on Obama because they need to keep a black president to quell unrest in the black population after the Trayvon incident). We have a police force that acts strongly when large corporations tell them to, but try and take action against the corporations for breaking laws in ways that affect you, and the police will just hand you a stack of paperwork, tell you to contact a lawyer, and generally ignore you.

That being said, there are probably more countries where it is worse than countries where it is better.

Way more countries where it's worse.

Romania
No
What Viz said, plus the church still pays an important role in the state, even though that's not the way it is on paper. A couple of months ago the mayor of Bucharest gave away 6,3 millions of euro out of state (tax?) money to building a new cathedral in the capital + other 47 new churches - which is really stupid, not only because religion shouldn't be funded by the government, but also because we basically have no highways, no highschools in villages and the healthcare system is down. Also, lots of racism/xenophobia.

the Netherlands
No
for the same reason as Kahless, although I do appreciate that our gov is very relaxed about a lot of social issues (such as gay marriage, abortion, drug use, euthanasia, religion etc) which gives a sense of personal freedom.

you forgot prostitution.

ireland
i don't care
life seems pretty good tbh

lmao

Because I’m free,
I deserve everything I can get.

I’m American.
I’m American.
