Can someone please explain to me the American obsession with using the term "Freedom"? Many Americans come across as if the US is the most free country in the World and the rest of us are all living under dictatorships vying for a taste of US culture. But I see plenty of restrictive laws in the States, many of which aren't enforced in other countries and baggy trousers are being made outlawed now.
I'm all for patriotism, but blind patriotism is just stupid. So I wanna ask the American contingent whether you believe that, on balance, the US is the most free country in the World and why. Please explain why you couldn't do the same in other countries because I've never understood the mentality.
