Thanks Bob,

It is humorous and enlightening to see people from other countries stick their noses into another countries business and get all worked about an issue that doesn’t concern them.



I’m sure the USA would never stick its nose into another country’s business!
But now is not the time to widen this thread further.

Most Americans don't like being told what to do, even by our own government.
The Constitution and it's Amendments are meant to not only spell out the the rights of the citizens, but mainly to spell out the rights and limitations of the government.




That is a very important point, and one that give me plenty to think about. Thanks.

If you don’t like the laws of the USA, don’t come here. Don’t buy our products.




Now that’s not very hospitable. I neither like nor dislike the laws of the USA.
My original intention was to report that this particular one seemed very strange to someone from a UK background (post #266341).
I knew nothing about the issue when I wrote that and next to nothing now.
However, what I have read suggests that this right is not only strange it is also counter-productive.

But don’t try to tell us how to live!



I didn’t – and I'm sorry if you interpreted my comments in this way.

You don’t understand being an American any more than I understand being from the UK or France.



Absolutely. Hence the value of this type of exchange.

This is most definitely the case…and long may it continue.

Can we get back to the music now?
