Prostitution is legal in some states, so technically some states are more free than others. At the very least it's better than *some* countries Don't get me wrong America is a democratic nation with plenty of free people. Just many Americans have this obsession with freedom. There's are 100s of countries in the world that have freedom I think it's just nationalism, that kind of stuff exists in most countries.

Not only is that the most cringeworthy and cliched thing ever said on the forum (so far), but also you're not even bloody American. Congratulations.... Also while realise with an "z" is technically acceptable in other countries, it is only in North America where it is the predominant form. grammarist.com/spelling/realise-realize/Bully Madison is a real mixed bag as a movie in my opinion but the stuff that's good, is some of the best comedy of the 1999s. It's lowbrow but it's quirky and weird and kind of interesting. It's insanely flawed but I'm not sure I've ever seen a movie like it. And the scene you referenced is just gold. But I digress. What I was leading to was that one of my teachers put that entire speech on a students school report card. Well, that's a bit overly harsh of the teacher then.... Geez

There's are 100s of countries in the world that have freedom They're probably the least "free" country in the Western world, and the idea that they're the "land of the free" is one of the most inaccurate myths about America - probably the country with the most extreme and hypocritic liberal conservatives

Well to me the Western world is the first world - which is Europe, Canada, the US, Israel, Australia and New Zealand. Economically one could argue that Japan, South Korea and Taiwan belong there as well.

I really wouldn't consider Israel to be in the "Western World", they're not as developed as the others, although if you're just looking at economics then I guess they could count. And if you're counting nations like Japan and Taiwan don't Hong Kong, Singapore, and Macau also belong up there? But they're technically all eastern countries.

Well I did say "First World", which they all would be. Even Israel, as that's also under heavy Western influence

They do teach English at school, and you see English signs everywhere.... but most of the people I've spoken to there speak pretty poor English.... perhaps it's because they're a country which doesn't give citizenships to foreigners, I dunno

It has the language, the emblem, and the values of a country all inside. Like the US puts a lot of national symbols in their passport. The Kazakhstani passport puts a person's ethnicity in the information page, showing that they're a very diverse nation. It's all in the passport mate. I think the best designed passport is either Sweden, Switzerland, or Belgium IMO.
