I lol @ the people who think the USA is the most free in the world. We are number 20.
Kind of sad for a nation that brags so much about freedom.

This is true. I feel we need to up our ranks, I think this nation should improve, that we should be number one- the most free!!
Bring back the freemarket, less Government and more freedom! Smaller Government, more freedom.
If things here became the way they were meant to be the entire world would see a true definition of freedom. Instead we have all these people trying to take away our guns and putting people in jail/prison for drugs! We could all sit here and make a list of the things that put us down to number 20 but what will it help right?
sigh...
Isn't it shocking that hong kong is number one? How wild is that!

Its a crisis, nobody wears them anymore so they arent made anymore. The tourists industry has a supply problem.
The netherlands are #1 in the world where it comes to deliberate phone tapping though. We do that more than the DDR used to do.

I have two pairs... Not even ironically or anything, most people here have them, they're great for walking in mud and you slip right into them, no finnicky laces or anything.
I guess the country really IS going down the toilet, now that almost nobody wears clogs anymore 
Also... no Dutchman ever took pride in living in a free country, no chest beating, no chanting "USA! USA!"-style when abroad, and yet...
suck it, Americans!

Damn. I just wear steel boots ( not steel toes they are called metatarsal and cover your entire foot ) while I'm at work, or Damn sneakers. That being said I'd totally at least try clogs! If they suck the Netherlands still rock! Due to types and certain bands of various types of metal music that come from that area!

Everyone has done something shitty in our lives. Probably since being on this site even. It's devoted to drugs and occupied by many drug addicts. I assure you anything I may have done years ago, before having kids I'm sorry for. And would attempt to remedy. However I don't even have any way of knowing who I did what to or not. And that period is pretty hazy in my mind. Look recently at my stuff. I am no opiate addiction anymo

It's one person that says anything. And I did it more than once. For a print which I'm not sure of what. Never had a sheet of any psychedelic before. I will contact him but clearly you know me. So if you have more info why not share it with me? Damn. Look at my posts I don't do that shit anymore. Sorry for hijacking OP this caught me off guard and I feel bad. Continue in PM or another thread if you could. I only have two ratings and only one is about that stuff man. But there's more I think.

I'm all for Zwarte Piet changing, we should have done it decades ago, its been offensive since at least the 1980s and we just havent done a fuck about it.
Here's Gerda Havertong raising the issue in Dutch sesame street as early as 1987.
Its always been a thing, we just swept it under the rug.

Blackface is really Not Done in polite company, ask any sensible American.
Its a minstrel/coon show basically, deeply offensive to people of color internationally.
As soon as Suriname became independent in 1975 they dared to politely raise the issue towards their former occupational government (us). Zwarte Piet is illegal in Suriname.
Feel free to use the sesamstraat piece as ammo. This is NOT something that is made a thing in recent times, it ALWAYS was an issue.

You know in that video I posted they said Canada is more free than the USA probably because it's so spread out. Wilderness and shit. When a Government can't mess with a bunch of it's citizens because they can't get to them I guess that makes them more free right?

Canada is not more free than the USA. Most of us actually live in cities not in the bush BTW. Our justice is just lax. People see light sentence for drug crime and think its progressive but we give violent criminals and rapists a slap on wrist too. Canada had it's Edward Snowden moment years and years ago when the media interviewed a anonymous member of CSIS (our NSA) and he told them they can listen to any phone call at any time with no oversight by anyone. The problem is our nation is fucking lazy and these revelations caused no protests. People got more upset about the hockey strike. There are things I like better about Canada but I strongly disagree we are more free. I can still get a life ruining conviction for a roach in my car's ashtray. You guys have state after state with great med pot laws or states it's legal. Even places it's illegal it's more and more often just a fine. In Canada people still get criminal records for half a gram.

Canada is not more free than the USA. Most of us actually live in cities not in the bush BTW. Our justice is just lax.

It's nice to hear from a legit Canadian on the issue. Thank you for sharing. The list is a little weird. I have not looked up other index's. It' seems they base their judgments on some odd ball things maybe.
Shiiit I always thought marijuana was more relaxed in Canada. That's shity. My friend who still lives in FL of the USA told me not long ago that the cops busted this guy for 3 plants in his back yard. They just wrote him a ticket. I definitely think the marijuana issue is easing up greatly in the USA in certain places. If they legalize it in FL 2016 I'm definitely moving back to my homeland.

Canada is just coming through a period of very conservative government rule. I'm an old timer and it is the most conservative I have ever seen our government/policies. This without a doubt influences our level of freedom. This coming Monday I think our government is going to change from conservative to liberal. If the polls are correct and this happens our level of freedom is apt to improve significantly. Relevant to the members of this site---the liberal incumbent (Justin Trudeau) has said that he will legalize cannabis nation wide. If this happens we will no longer need to look south with envy for the progressive American pot policy of recent years. Fingers crossed that the tyrant that is our Prime minister gets his ass handed to him come Monday. I love my nation, but the last 10 years has been a dark spot on our position in the world.
