National and European courts...thus showing the reason for a successful asylum case.

Europeans in general do not challenge. They complain, they whine, but they bow their heads to the government.

The only thing they really riot about is handouts. If they aren't given the welfare they want, they will riot in the streets. They don't want freedom, they want support. As long as the government will support them, they will follow submissively.

These are generalized statements, that is true, and there are exceptions. But there aren't enough exceptions to make a difference. And the real freedom loving Europeans eventually leave home and come to the US.

I don't see that difference. Tell me a couple of things you have the freedom of doing in the US and that I cannot do over here, or the other way round, that I have to do and you don't have to do I remember a site where there were US laws even interfering with people's sexual practices

I'd love to see the "site" showing where our laws interfer with sexual practices. Oh, I'll admit we do have laws saying no no to sex with children or no to sex with animals and rape is a no no - but other than this ..... love to see it

Here is the bottom line - you don't like Home Schooling. You would like to outlaw it .... we got that.

On the other hand, home schooling is popular in the US and getting more popular - for all sorts of reasons.

How about we leave it at this: You stay where you are - we will stay where we are - see - everyone is happy.

And? Don't tell the that is the only difference between the real freedom-loving Americans and lazy Europeans spoiled by welfare

No problem, as long as I can send my kids to a school
This is a pros and cons thread, I am not a lawmaker or lobbyist but merely an opponent explaining his reasons.
