The article is about things that happened in Australia 🙄
Exactly, I bet her loved ones wished she had the right tools to defend herself. Lord knows the police won’t.
Yeah! Because domestic abuse is totally not a thing in america. Oh wait.
Eew keep your gross American opinions to yourself.
No, the 1A means I can share it as much as I want. Freedom of Speech is awesome!
And we have the freedom to call you out on your American bullshit (that doesn't even work in the US).
The first amendment applies only to government action on your speech. It has nothing to do with your speech on a private website and it doesn't apply outside of the US (even if you'd like to think the US owns the world).
You make it sound like thats unique to the US and a foreign concept to the rest of the world.
Freedom of speech doesn't mean you won't face consequences of what you say.
Not saying it is unique, just stating my 1A rights mean I have the freedom to do so.
Only in the US, the least developed nation of the rich world.
So free speech that is constitutionally protected is a sign of an underdeveloped nation? Weird viewpoint but ok you do you.
The US is the only country with a flag on the moon, from where I live I can watch weekly launches into space. Europe depends upon us for manned launches. Our military is also more advanced than any other nation and is globally dominant which reinforces our hegemony.
We are one of the largest energy exporters (which hopefully Biden will curb, I don’t want the US exporting so much Natural Gas and oil that it drives up our ultra low domestic prices and exposes us to higher over seas rates. Preventing further global warming is a good bonus).
Did I mention that our economy is larger and is growing faster than the EU? Nearly forgot that one… https://statisticstimes.com/economy/united-states-vs-eu-economy.php
Seems like we have a few things going for us.
As an American no one cares, you're a fucking idiot, and just shut the fuck up already.
The irony of you tooting about 1A, celebrating your “right” to free speech, based on your ability to post something in a forum where 1A doesn’t apply.
It’s delicious.
Well if you want seconds, I’m still posting.
