    So far as I can tell, we've essentially made being a free thinker illegal in the United States.

    And yet, you're still free to post whiny crap like this on Slashdot without even a remote risk of censure or injury.

    Go to hell.

    (And before you mod me down as flamebait, check the last line of parent's post. This is satire, and if you don't recognize it as such you're a dumbass.)

    (Okay, NOW mod me down as flamebait.)

    Their "justice" system, giving justice just for rich white men
    The source of your information is... oh yes i forgot you saw the movie.

    Their violency and their wars
    They do teach history in the EU don't they? Or has it been "revised".

    Their constitution
    and your point is...

    Their hypocrisy and their stupidity ...and even the colo(u)rful language they've brutally raped.
    So you must be French. If so please remember we have a few thousand Americans buried in French soil defending the land you could not.

    (Disclaimer: No - I'm neither British nor Canadian. I do live in the EU, though)
    You sound envious...
