It must really suck to live in a Nation with no 1st amendment rights.

Why, are you a Holocaust denier? You are aware, I hope, that the First Amendment applies only to the United States?

I have no problem with Austria censoring Irving's books or even banning him from the country. But jailing him, is beyond the pale IMHO. I agree it's their laws, whatever, but I'm just glad (at least for now) we don't have that in the US.

They think it sucks to live in a nation with no guaranteed right to health care.

Because of our different histories--particularly, because we haven't had fascist governments and occupation armies--Americans and Europeans have completely different ideas of what everyone has to agree to in order for a democratic government to endure.

We're worried about losing our freedoms. Europeans are worried about fascism and the total destruction of war. Our laws reflect that difference.
