    The UK does. How does that work?
    Do they? Try publishing something about the crown and pedophilia in the UK and get back to us.
    US has better free speech protections than UK. But deference to the Crown and some differences in libel laws does not mean Brits are not a free people.
    Can't carry a pocket knife, can't criticize the crown, definitely don't name your dog Hitler as a joke, pay 40% of your income to the state while your elites offshore their assets.

    "Free people" is a relative term.
    Britain is not a tyranny.
    They were in North America - until people with guns beat their ass. Twice.
    Is is different word from was. You know this right?

    Does what?
    They have a BOR. It’s 100 years older than ours.

    Alas, we took their model and improved it.
    So added the 2A.
    They had guns in there. "That the subjects which are Protestants may have arms for their defence suitable to their conditions and as allowed by law". But my Engrish ancestors didn't want any fish eaters like @Sledog to be armed and taking orders from the Pope.

    Ours? of course is more explicit in its wording, of course. But guns have always been more integral to our culture as frontier nation keeping the @Swaye 's from burning our cabins and wagons. In Britain they never cared as much about their guns and we do here.
    Odd it was the protestors killing and burning.

    We were more like 1-0-1 vs. the Brits.

    That's kind of the point of the whole thing here though isn't it. Social norms change. Relying on them for the preservation of your societies rights and adherence there to is short sighted. Just look at how many Zoomers don't think freedom of speech is important.

    The point of this exercise isn't to say the Brit's (c)onstitution is better than our (C)onstitution. I don't view this as being the case. I'm just saying in the big scheme of things, it's still a free country. And further more, I try to give the mother ship as much respeck as possible, because the primary reason we are the country we are is because of the fact we were founded by freedom loving Englishmen who's ancestors only one century prior did away with absolute monarchy.

    Except those poor blokes in Ulster who still say the rosary might disagree just a tad.

    Now, if you want to make the argument that the Scots are the primary reason we are the country we are, I could get on that bandwagon...Adam Smith, John Knox, Andrew Carnegie, David Byrne.....

    Yup. Now get thee to Edinburgh stat and quaff down some haggis and whisky.

    Bruh, I've drunk many bottles of the most peated whisky in the world with members of this bored. More than @MikeDamone has even in his Islay whisky phase.
    I'm not a scotch guy. Can't afford it.

    Can't keep any of the others without it.

    The UK does. How does that work?
    Do they? Try publishing something about the crown and pedophilia in the UK and get back to us.
    US has better free speech protections than UK. But deference to the Crown and some differences in libel laws does not mean Brits are not a free people.
    Can't carry a pocket knife, can't criticize the crown, definitely don't name your dog Hitler as a joke, pay 40% of your income to the state while your elites offshore their assets.

    "Free people" is a relative term.
    Britain is not a tyranny yet.
    That's kind of the point of the whole thing here though isn't it. Social norms change. Relying on them for the preservation of your societies rights and adherence there to is short sighted. Just look at how many Zoomers don't think freedom of speech is important.
    The point of this exercise isn't to say the Brit's (c)onstitution is better than our (C)onstitution. I don't view this as being the case. I'm just saying in the big scheme of things, it's still a free country. And further more, I try to give the mother ship as much respeck as possible, because the primary reason we are the country we are is because of the fact we were founded by freedom loving Englishmen who's ancestors only one century prior did away with absolute monarchy.
    Except those poor blokes in Ulster who still say the rosary might disagree just a tad.

    Single malt in this economy? I hear you, @MikeDamone . I'm mostly bourbon because of its superior value ( Blanton's shit poasts aside). I DRINKIG Old Granddad 114 at my desk as we speak. Only $27 BTW. Wonderful discovery I made the other day.

    @PurpleThrobber distilling corn rather than barley is the Ulster Scots greatest contribution to civilization. Except Washington was a piece of shit for taxing them for it.

    I'm totally down with the N. Ireland whiskys - Bushmills has some really good stuff. Their new Red is more on the bourbon side. I had one of their 16 years on a visit to their distillery a while back and am kicking myself for not buying it there. Destroys the papist whiskys in the Republic further down the island where they were too poor to pay the barley tax. I had some other N. Ireland whiskys in Belfast but was too fucked up to remember which ones.
