That does not change how things are in the US. Or which country you have more freedom. Also here sensitive political issues such as abortion are voted on by the people and we get to speak out by voting. The will of the people becomes law.Maybe that is because people in the country you live in are more politically indifferent and their society is not so politically polarised as in the US. But again, Ireland is too small to compare it with the US as a whole.You can have whatever political beliefs you want without being attacked for them.Can you give some examples of this greater freedom?lived in the US for 45 years and Ireland for 25 years. We are freer over here. I would say the evidence backs ME up
