well there you go
Don't forget kids, the US has the second most transparent government on the planet. As shitty as it is sometimes, the Western world and its nominal cousins like Japan are the only bastions of truly civilised society the Earth has seen. We'd be moronic to deride it as overtly authoritarian, oppressive, tyrannical or any other such nonsense buzzwords.

It is true that the US isn't free. If you go to the hospital for a surgery or something like cancer treatment and you don't have money along with good insurance you will end up in debt. Then there's student loans which collects interest which fucks you over.
Free as in you're free to do say/do what you want for the most part. It's something that most people living in free Western countries fail to fully appreciate.

It isn't though. If you want freedom, move to NZ.

You are basically the jews of the world. Once your debt will get too big, you shall be purged in furnaces.
The US is like a free-to-play game. You basically have the right to do almost anything, but you have to pay to do just about everything.

We all know shots to injure are nearly impossible to do on someone who is running in a straight line away from you. We have to gun the person down instead of firing a single shot at them. It's a wonder how Germany manages to keep order when their police force fires so little bullets each year unlike the US. http://worldnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2012/05/11/11662345-german-police-fired-just-85-bullets-total-in-2011

Cause this is what's happening right now in actual police states.Extremely NSFWThis is literally Nazi-level shit going on, and you're just bitching about some minor police abuse without having to worry about becoming another corpse in a torture camp. Fuck off.You don't know what an actual police state is like, and thank god you will never have to know.
about some minor police abuse without having to worry about becoming another corpse in a torture camp. Fuck off.
Saying that the US isn't free is pure ignorance
