It is said that the USA is a free country. If we were a free country why cant we speak our minds anymore? We get arrested of beaten up for jus sayin somethin we feel or think...We are not a free country....Dont get me wrong i wouldnt rather be anywhere else in the world but we are most definitly not a free country. We are a country that is diveded, controlled, mislead, and hypnotized. So once again we are suppose to be a free country?????

We do speak our minds in this country. You just have to know when the time is appropriate. Like at work, you have to becareful not to say something that might offend another employee. I knew a girl who nearly got fired because she was brought up against Gays and made a comment they were not of God. She nearly got fired over it and she made a comment to someone else and it was overheard and told to management, not like she actually made the comment directly to someone. At work they tell you not to discuss religion or politics on company time. At public shcools it is don't mention God. I still say what I believe but I pick when to share it. I do believe though that we have to big a governmental control on to many subjects. We don't need bigger government to tell us what to do.

Screw that. We absolutely do need to speak out.. we all need to get up and say something. No matter where we may be, what may be happening, I don't care. Us not speaking out is what they've strived for.. and now the people are too hypnotized, too scared, to do anything about it. Well, not meeeee. I'm ready to die for what I believe America should be, and with posts like this one, I'm fighting for my beliefs every day. Be scared if you want to, but don't cry when opression becomes normality for you, as well.

Iowa just made our state the home of Gay marriage, oh yippy! We are the 3rd state to approve Gay marriage. I want to scream. I guess you were right about say waht you mean, what you feel and #@# if the rest of the pack doesn't want to hear what you have to say. I will state it loud and clear...Bull on Gay marriage!

Is it like Martial Law or Rule? If this is true, it's truly sad. I read a discussion similar to this and I asked the reasons for this. And we thought that the USA is the Land of the Free. Why the sudden turnaround is beyond me, but your people should speak up ....although there's always that fear of being arrested.

Yup. That isn't the biggest deal here, though. Our people seem to have given up.. nobody here cares about anything else besides their own financial gain. They're welcoming this opression with open arms without even noticing their mistakes, or realizing that they've made a mistake. We're hypnotized, and ones like me who break away from the rest of the pack are considered to be threats on a terrorist level. We're controlled through illusions like religion, and driven to carry out their will by means of fear ( which, in itself, constitutes as terrorism, but that's just my opinion..).
