I would argue that we have a higher level of freedom in Australia than just about anywhere else in the western world.

I guess I can excuse you for your ignorance though. How would you really know what it's like here?

The "level of freedom" can be measured in a number of ways. I say if you can't carry a gun you don't have any freedom at all. I'd say America is a much more free place than Australia, though you're ok on prostitution.

I do know a bit about Australia, having been there when I was on a WestPac in the Navy, and having quite a number of Australian friends. A friend of mine has art displayed in an Australian museum. Australians in general are very friendly people; even those who are less educated about things like freedom...like you.

I was even approached about teaching for the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology a few years ago.
