UK Teen Banned From US Over Obscene Obama Email

British teenager Luke Angel has been banned from the US for sending an email to the White House calling President Obama an obscenity. The 17-year-old says he was drunk when he sent the mail and doesn't understand what the big deal is. "I don't remember exactly what I wrote as I was drunk. But I think I called Barack Obama a p***k. It was silly -- the sort of thing you do when you're a teenager and have had a few," he said. The FBI contacted local police who in turn confronted Luke and let him know that the US Department of Homeland Security didn't think his email was funny. "The police came and took my picture and told me I was banned from America forever. I don't really care but my parents aren't very happy," Angel said.

So let me get this straight. Because you were a Marine, that automatically means your opinion is "correct" and mine is "wrong"? Was I wrong in stating that you mentioned flag burning as a legal form of free speech, immediately after citing our lack of free speech in America?

Oh, and also:

I've been all over the world, to countries that saying anything about the leader of that country could get you thrown in prison or worse.

I already covered that. Not that it matters, since you seem to assume things about me personally, whereas I responded directly to (and only to) what you've written.
