It makes me laugh when Americans brags about their freedom. Whats so special about it I ask? (except the right to own a handgun)

Freedom of speech? All EU countrys have that and it even goes further than in the US. Americans are in opposite to the EU citizens not even allowed to buy alcohol in supermarkets, but have to go to special liquor stores (just like in Sweden and Norway) and further its illegal to walk around in public under the influence of alcohol (HA HA! So you have to sleep it out in the bar before going home) Baah! So much for the state not interfering with peoples lives.

Is there any purpose to this line of discussion other than a parallel of the old favorite "My dad could beat your dad in a fight any day of the week!"

Perhaps, beneath the bombastic self-congratulation to which you subject your unfortunate readers, there might be something worth discussion, such as why different freedoms are embraced or rejected in different countries? Of course, if I've interrupted your nationalistic masturbation with a suggestion for intelligent discussion, I apologize.
