The You Can't Make This Shit Up Department

Incitement of violence is a crime.

That's true here too, but only if it's an immediate incitement to crime.

I will repeat it, absolute individual rights do not exist, except maybe for the right to live, and even that one can be dis-considered in cases of self defense. Most rights can be restricted if there is a conflict of rights with another right. You have freedom of speech, you don't have the freedom to insult others.

Yes, actually we do have that right.

With rights come duties, you have to respect others rights to fulfill your own. I guess in america individual liberties prevail, while here public order and security is above individual liberties.

Indeed there are differences. And yes we do put a higher premium on personal liberties.

There are divergences, for instance europeans don't understand why americans have the 'right to bear arms', I don't know any country with such a right here in europe.

There are many Americans who don't understand why we have the right to bear arms. The NRA will tell you it is so that the people will retain the ability to rebel against the government. I'm not so sure. It's a contentious issue here.
