So, Shithead...Why Did YOU Pick Him?

[A Theist]

You are one bitter leftwing old coot. The door to this country swings both ways and there certainly aren't any barriers on our borders that will keep you from leaving. If you're that miserable here why don't pack your sh*t and go to some other country where you'll be happier, like Venezuela or even North Korea. Go over there and talk your bullsh*t against their countries. See how far that'll get you.

In the bolded part it seems like you're saying "our country gives you freedom of speech... so shut up!" Can you see the problem with that? Sometimes people criticize their country because they want it to be a better place, regardless of how good or bad it already is. Pointing out that other countries wouldn't tolerate dissent doesn't address the legitimate criticisms of the country you reside in.

No. That's not the way I meant it. I wasn't telling him to shut up. He has every right in this country to run his big mouth and to jack his jaws no matter how much of his goofy bullsh*t I take issue with. In America he has every liberty to his opinions and to criticize this country. America also allows me those same liberties to respond. Speech is a valued freedom here. We have greater liberties with vocalizing our opinions than most European countries do. I was only trying to point out, that in the course of his shoveling out vitriol and hogsh*t and America bashing, he should at least appreciate the liberties he has in this country without the worry of government retribution that he would receive in other countries,...I wasn't telling him to shut up.
