Emigrating To a Freer Country?

puroresu writes "I currently reside in the UK. In recent years I've seen privacy, free expression and civil liberties steadily eroded, and I can't see anything changing for the better any time soon. With people being banned from the UK for expressing (admittedly reprehensible) opinions, the continuing efforts to implement mandatory ID cards and the prospect of a Conservative government in the near future, I'm seriously considering emigrating to a less restrictive country. Which countries would you recommend in terms of freedom and privacy? Distance is not an issue, though a reasonable level of stability and provision of public services would be a bonus."

    PCs == Lego; Macs == Barbies; Linux == a pile of I-beams and a box of nuts and bolts.

    You had a deprived childhood if you don't know the term "Erector Set" and have to resort to "a pile of I-beams and a box of nuts and bolts". THOSE were fantastic toys.

    The famous american chess player was notoriously anti-american.

    Not to mention notoriously anti-semitic... like, "It's time to start randomly killing Jews" (yes, that really is a quote) anti-semitic. Seriously, the guy was crazy.

    Fuck the faggot french. They can't handle a war against the germans and cry about it but as soon as the US builds them back up, they are back to being a bunch of fucking assholes. Hitler should have had a plan against Frankish Homosexuals (which would include the whole country) and that would have solved the whole Francophiliac issue even when the allies crushed the nazis. Could have made England or Spain bigger and just left those dumb snooty shits roast in the nazi oven.
