| Most don't realize this Wen, the term "Free Country", which is used so much here, is derived from the Revolutionary war, when the colonies gained their independence from England. The people here became free from English rule, hence, free country. We're not free from our own rule. We can't do anything here that you can't do in Great Britain or other countries. We certainly have more freedom than communistic countries and some others. We have less freedom now than ever before. I'm not happy with where we are. :( | |

| I get what your saying hun and thanks for the history lesson, i have to put my hands up and plead ignorance but i do know that like us brits things just seem to be spiraling out of control.
So much for independance and rights, they are getting fewer and far between xxx | |
