Of course; but what do their ‘bill of rights’ delineate?

son of witless

Oh really ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

You obviously know these things much better than I do, so I would ask, which of these " Lots of countries " has the Right to bear arms written into their Constitution ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????

How about the right of religion ? Wait wait. How about the Right of Free Speech ? That last one I am ready to argue profusely over, because regardless of what these countries preach, their H**e Speech Laws over ride Free Speech.

I look forward eagerly to your rely.

The USA is the only country to have the right to bear arms. The USA also has the most incarcerated citizens per capital. See a connection. Right to religious freedom is much more prevalent to most other first world countries. Freedom of Christian denomination is not freedom of religion. And yes. Americans have a right to express h**e and hurt anyone they want. Such a fine moral freedom.

Not quite true . I had the right to have a gun in my get-a-way . After I was approved for permanent resident , they informed me I could buy a gun . Many owned guns , I never bought one except for a pellet rifle

While you're so busy bashing the U.S., let's talk about your country's "fine moral freedom":

The Canadian Virtual Hospice, an online resource for palliative care, recently released a children’s book about MAiD – Medical Assistance in Dying, otherwise known as euthanasia. In this colorful text, written for ages 6 to 12 years and titled the Medical Assistance In Dying Activity Book, children are guided through the process of assisted death. The book asks questions and explores the options, feelings, and responses to MAiD, and what will happen when people they know choose MAiD. Toward the end of the text, an outline explains the steps involved, saying, in part, Next, the MAiD provider will give the person the third medicine, which blocks the brain from sending messages to the person’s organs. That makes their heart and lungs stop working. Because of the coma, the person does not notice this happening, and it does not hurt. When their heart and lungs stop working, their body dies. It will not start working again. Most of the time a person’s body stops working a few minutes after the third medicine is given, but sometimes it takes longer…

...Once the MAiD provider has checked everything and they are sure that the person has died, they will leave the room to fill out some papers. Then they will pack up their supplies and leave so that the person’s family or friends can spend some time with the person’s body.

Wesley J. Smith, writing for the National Review, made a critical observation regarding the book: Once we endorse k*****g as an acceptable answer to human suffering, we have to train the children that k*****g is okay. Because they are not stupid and will know that their loved one is being terminated, their immediate instinct will probably be that it is wrong.

The whole euthanasia agenda is gut-wrenching, morally destructive, and wrong. It not only ends the life of despairing people who are abandoned by the “It’s your choice” deflection, but as this book illustrates, has the potential to seriously impact the emotional well-being of children in the family who watch as their loved one’s k*****g is discussed, planned, and executed.

I'm sure that all I'll hear is crickets from you just like my last comment to you.

“The USA is the only country to have the right to bear arms. The USA also has the most incarcerated citizens per capital. See a connection.”
No - explain it.

“Freedom of Christian denomination is not freedom of religion.”
That makes no sense - try again.

“Americans have a right to express h**e and hurt anyone they want. Such a fine moral freedom.”
Ah yes - and of course YOU get to decide what is ‘h**e speech’….see the problem?

China is now a first world country , I have been there I think 6 times for about 6 weeks each , and a hard c*******t country , You dont hear some of the evils of China because the country controls the media and the internet . One reason they dont have so many in prison is that when the prisons near capacity , they simply single out a few , march them outside and use them for target practice.

Once during a bus tour , the bus stopped , they got everyone off and made everyone take all baggage . Well everyone got off and there was one suitcase left that nobody claimed . They asked several times who owned it , finally an old lady said it was hers ( it actually was not ) They made her open it , full of drugs . They arrested her and used her for target practice

Once there were two teenage girls traveling together , got caught with minor amount of drugs , you guessed it , they were shot . I think only one of the girls had drugs on her , but they both paid

Thank you for taking the bait. I will now try to set the hook. The trouble with h**e speech laws and their enforcement is interpretation. While I am sure they do not call it h**e speech, in Russia, China, Cuba, Venezuela, and North Korea the wrong kind of speech will get you k**led. Now in Canada, and the rest of the Non American Western World, they will not as a rule k**l you, but they will punish you severely for what they call H**E SPEECH.

Who determines what H**E SPEECH is ? Those in power. Now in Amerika the Left has tried for decades to enforce h**e speech doctrines. They have more or less failed. Although make a gay joke at a university or stand up to T*********r brainwashing of school children and you will likely be accused of h**e speech and be labeled a D******c T*******t by the Biden DOJ.

" As I detail in my forthcoming book, speech codes in Europe are already illiberal, arbitrarily enforced, and often used to undermine legitimate political debate. In places such as Germany, citizens not only face huge fines for breaking h**e-speech laws, but the police can raid homes and arrest people for the crime of sharing puerile political cartoons.

" What good has it done? In 2008 Germany pressured the European Union to pass regulations “fighting r****m and xenophobia,” which every EU member nation has since incorporated into its national legislation. H**e crimes have only increased. Europe remains, by any measure, a far less tolerant place than the United States, where speech is basically unrestricted. "

If you believe that h**e speech laws will not be misused by those in power and the special interest groups who influence them, I have been trying to unload this bridge in Brooklyn for decades. I can get you a sweet deal.

I’m guessing they don’t have a big Drug problem there

Well last I knew they were having some problems with Burma ( name changed to ___ ) People hollowing out furniture , packing drugs inside and some getting through . The carriers say they will try once to get filthy rich or take the chance on death . I dont know how many were getting through but some were getting caught.
You may go to church in parts of china , IF you dont make much noise AND you dont advertise AND you dont mention it to anyone following the service

Possibly the poverty, drug addiction, crime, massive debts, war mongering, political division, and general dissatisfaction play a part in this....
