You're right - I don't live in your country. I don't remember criticising it though - freedom of speech is a 'given' for most of us in the western world nowadays. Whether I like you as a person is neither here nor there; I was merely pointing out that people are free to voice their opinions. The first amendment to the US constitution says clearly: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." There you go.

"Arrakis, is a fictional desert planet"
And for the record, the constitution doesn't cover accuracy of the freedom of speech. One can be as ignorant or incorrect as one wants and the freedom of speech is still granted (slander and libel notwithstanding).
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Arrakis is also an alternative name for the star Mu Draconis. Arrakis
Arrakis, from David Lynch's Dune (1984) Statistics Universe Dune universe Planet type Desert Notable locations Arrakeen Notable races Fremen Creator Frank Herbert
Arrakis, (الراقص ar-rāqiṣ, "the dancer") later Rakis (informally known as Dune) is a fictional desert planet featured in the Dune series of novels by Frank Herbert; it is the home of the Fremen (Zensunni wanderers) and later, the Imperial Capital under the Atreides Empire. Arrakis is the third planet orbiting the star Canopus, and it in turn is orbited by two moons, one of which has the image of the desert kangaroo mouse, Muad'Dib, on it; the other moon possesses the image of a human hand.

I JUST RE-READ YOUR POST AND YOU ARE RIGHT. I SAW NO CRITICIZING OF AMERICA. I STAND CORRECTED ! GUYS KEEP TELLING ME THAT THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO THEIR OPINION. OF COURSE THEY DO ! I'M SIMPLY SAYING TO THEM TO BASE THEIR OPINION ON FACT AND NOT EMOTION.IS BUSH A GREAT PRESIDENT ? ABSOLUTELY NOT. IS HE A GREAT PERSON ? OF COURSE NOT, HE HAS FAULTS LIKE THE REST OF US. BUT TO HEAR PEOPLE COMPARE HIM TO HITLER,STALIN, SATAN,ETC. JUST SHOWS THAT I'M RIGHT.

I've had my doubts.
But I'm told he's a Space Cowboy, AKA the Gangster of Love. Some people call him Maurice......

als you were arguing out of emotions too. plus politics are part emotions! i always thought our constitution stated basic "human" rights! not just the rights of citizens of the USA! which protect criticing this country. factually or emotionaly.
