I posted this meme on Facebook and one of my friends replied with the question, "That's not every country?" I didn't know how to reply. Can anyone name countries where this isn't true?

Currently, the only country that I can think of that is freer is Iceland because the government threw out the central bankers.(1 image)

You aren't discussing every country, you're discussing America.

Truth is still truth even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie even if everyone believes it.

From the days of the court jesters, the clowns and comedians around the world have spoken truth to power.

You're right!

I should have included cartoonists.

American comedians (Margaret Cho, Sarah Silverman, et al) have pushed faggotry and hatred of Christians just as hard as has Hollyweird. Comedians are not able to tell jew jokes or faggot jokes in Europe anymore, so I guess Amerikwa wins. The Blue-Collar comedians (Foxworthy, Engvall, White, Larry the Cable Guy) are despised by most other comedians because of their inoffensive White-centric routines.

Might I suggest Louis C.K. who has told many an off-color joke while not being either Jewish or gay.
John Howard says: There are 4 schools of economics:
Marxism: steal everything
Keynesianism: steal by counterfeiting whenever needed
Chicago school (Milton Friedman): steal by counterfeiting at a steady, predictable rate
Austrians: don't steal

Democrats don't mind war as long as they can have big government. Republicans don't mind big government as long as they can have war.

Now you're talking. The politicians AND most comedians spew PCBS now -- it's only a question of which do it more viciously. Not impressed with Foxworthy, don't know the other "good" ones. Are they mostly apolitical?
Obama imitator Reggie Brown is priceless, but to show you how really screwed up a country can be, they gave him the hook at a GOP convention when he started getting a little too truthful.

Yes, they're pretty White.

Jerry Seinfeld made a comment a couple weeks ago on mike & mike that he and most other comedians won't do shows on college campus's now because they're too PC.

Kid Rock, of all people, said the same thing.

Check out some interviews of Tupac Shakur. Interesting life for a kid that got killed at 25. There's a fascinating story there. I don't think I've ever heard one of his recordings.
