Well, that is where progressive folks are taking us! Everyone looks up to Europe as the example for 'good socialism'.
There is a movement in the Netherlands to allow children as young as 9 have sex with adults as long as it consensual. So, thats what you want eh?
As long as we don't force children then its okay. Progressives are like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Lets villify one country for their practices and salute another country for theirs.
But, the fact of the matter is, yes you NOW live in a free country. But, if you go to Iran, or Syria, or any of these other Middle East countries and try to speak out against their practices, YES, they will put you in JAIL.
You folks just don't get it! They have their own laws and they really could give a rats ass what you think. Shouting and screaming at the top of your lungs will not change their belief system.
Here is what happens when a progressive woman thinks she is immune to the laws of another country:

BTW, her appeals failed because she was in the WRONG. She broke their law and is lucky she isn't doing more time.
At the end of the day, it is NOT our reponsibility to impose our beliefs on another country, period. Unless of course you are willing to go to war about it?
Then, if you are willing to go to war for our beliefs, why haven't we liberated Darfur?
Hipocrites all!
