    Crime isn't to bad, obviously some of the big cities have there bad spots. Gun crime would be low compared to America mainly cos you handguns and the like are illegal. Health care in Ireland is free if you make less than a certain amount a year.

    What negative things have you heard about Europe, let me know and I can tell you if they are true or not. Like I said it's not perfect. You should try learning a language though as Spain or Italy for example would be much nicer to live in than Ireland or the UK.

    You sit in over there and preach about conditions here, Exactly how much of the US have you seen? what qualifies YOU to "tell it like it is"? I've spent 40 years observing an studying this country.

    You're perpetuating anti-american propoganda.

    Everything I say about american law is in the US constitution. Wence comes your claims of legal freedom?

    Presumption of innocence is part of common law. Also are you disagreeing that sentences dished out for the vast majority of crimes in America are alot harsher than in western Europe??

    As for your earlier point with regards to sedition, is sedition legal in America, maybe it is in your constitution, but in practice I doubt it, you would be dealt with for sedition in America, probably more severally than over here. As for what qialifies me to "tell it like it is", the same could easily be asked of you and your statements on Europe. The saying you should never discuss religion or politics at the dinner table should probably apply to marijuanan forums aswell. ;)

    I think we are going to end up like ancient rome here in America. We are supposedly the most powerful and we are going corrupt just like Rome. Presidents used to be good. Take Franklin D. Roosevelt for instance, di lots of great things and was elected into office for 3 or 4 terms can't remember exactly. But now nobody does anything unless it benefits them too. I think sooner or later our "empire" is going to colapse and we'll have nothing. The economy is already starting to turn to crap what with the war and all. Next thing you know we'll end up being invaded by some other country and the ka-poof we'll have no order or anything and the whole thing will just crumble beneath our feet. Look at history all great empires become ruined because they get full of themselves and then crap all over each other. Personaly I think unless someone honest gets into office (which is virtually impossible becaus eonly rich jerk-offs have enough money to run) we are screwed.

    The Romans conqured and ruled vast empires, I'd hardly compare the US to them.
