The EU consists of independent sovereign nations, its not one country like the U.S is suppose to be. The other Scandinavian countrys are as I said exceptions when it comes to alcohol.

Maybe you got me when it comes to the "publicly offends or insults", IŽll give you that! But what about the extreme censur on non caple U.S television? (we have no censur on danish tv at all). If thats not lack of freedom of speech then I dont know what. A lot of words like fuck, shit and bitch are illegal, just as nudity and even a "fuck finger" Hippocratic! Besides that a lot of books like "Little black sambo" have been banned from the U.S market because they are supposed to be offensive towards nigrows. Come again dude!
So your idea of freedom has expanded from beinng able to be drunk in public to hearing people swear on television. Obviously that is far more freedom than facing prosecution for "offending" someone's religion or speech that someone finds "degarding" or "deriding" to a particular group. I guess we're just "hippocrats" in the US.

By the way, if Little Black Sambo has been banned in the US, somebody better tell Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble.
