Honestly, if you think that America is not the land of the free, and you feel that America is taking away your rights, get out. Stop complaining and go live in another country where you can vent your pessimistic views.

So goverment keeps making laws to benefit law makers and their relatives that are going against the bill of rights. The economy hasn't improve and won't improve. Worried about trans fat oil as if pigs can't stop eating, overeating. It clogs if you're a hog that can't stop eating fat slobs but the govt doesn't stop cigar or tobacco companies from producing its products because they produce money for them, what hyprocisy however they do this.

@dce41:

Dude that comment is by far the scariest i have ever seen from anyone.

I know they are out there but i hope they are friendly.

Don't think they are not gonna probe your ass because your ass is the only thing they are interested in.

If they come i am so gonna blame you,

Stop scaring me the crap out dude i am serious.

I strongly believe that is all a good idea.

Equal freedom, equal rights, Safety, Better health.

I strongly believe that the U.S is doing a far better job then any other country not doing the same thing here on earth.

I feel too proud to be an American Citizen, I hope nothing stop the Government from doing the right thing but they are spending to much in a single year.

Glad to me an American well until they fuck up my life with a bull shit law.

shit if i had a choice to move i would go out the earth to live with the aliens. they seem more peaceful than us. they visit all the time and never harm us once for many years. but we cant because once again the gov is preventing that.

Let me tell you all the truth about America. America lost its TRUE freedom after the Europeans came and STOLE the country. Ever since, this country has never been free under the control of the greedy Caucasian man! It is all recorded through history!

@horris2 many smokers would use those technologies to help stop smoking. But you'll come to find they the cost of them is twice the price. The true cost is way less than smoking, but the taxs the government puts on them is what drives up the cost.

The governments makes law to try and force people to quit then turns around and taxs everything on the market that helps people.

America, was once the land of the free now we are rapidly becoming a socialistic nation, do this and DON'T do that. Anybody here remember the Five Man Electrical Band with the song "Signs" I hated that song when it charted, today I sing it to myself everyday. America we're dying rapidly!

no actually Holand is the most free, you can smoke weed their, but to the point if a bar clearly states that it is a smoking area and if you still choose to enter the bar after clearly seeing a warning sighn then you are accepting theposibility of inhaling 2nd hand smoke, and its still the businesses decision to ban or not to ban smoking in the bar not the states
