I'm not sure where you got the impression the United States of America was any more "free" than countries like Germany, Japan, Australia, the Netherlands, or Sweden. Is it because of our constitution? Theirs are pretty much the same. Is it because you think we have superior economic/social mobility here? We don't.

Just a couple things. You might not agree but America is absolutely more free than the abovementioned countries precisely
because of our law-abiding citizens' right to bear arms.
"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man." - Thomas Jefferson (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria)

Trolling aside, you dumb motherfuckers need to quit defending corporal punishment simply because you do it, and it was done to you. It's outright illegal in several countries and there is strong scientific evidence it is harmful. Maybe if your white trash parents didn't smack you around so much, you'd have learned to think critically about your behaviors and whether they might be wrong.
I mean, come on, what a coincidence. You got your ass whipped as a kid, and here you are defending it.
Think about it. How do you want your kid to solve their problems when they grow up? With violent emotional outbursts? What about with words, patience, and logic? Which approach is going to give them a better chance to succeed in life?

Lune, sometimes I enjoy your posts but I just gotta ask why you're so hostile. You did say "Trolling aside.." so is this really what you think of everyone who disagrees with you or just having a bad night?
Calling people dumb motherfuckers and white trash (or worse) because they're "wrong" for not having the same opinion as you isn't exactly a positive thing to teach children either. By the way, how many kids do you have? Please be sure to teach them they can't go around chewing people's faces off because of silly differences of opinion.
