    They already have. It seems the U.S. has become the only country left in the West that doesn't have "hate speech" laws on the books. It's nice to live in
    a country where I can tell Hindu telemarketers to "go jump in the Ganges" without fear of prosecution.

    It seems that Britain's progress in human rights peaked with the Magna Carta
    in 1215. Oh, and BTW, how's that "knife control act" coming along? What's
    the penalty now for "knife smuggling"? It WOULD be lucrative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r_gWUe8QJ78

    I can image the reaction of British tourists when they see these
    infomercials on late-night TV in their motel rooms: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=InJK8hlD_NY

    Being run out of their own country (Scotland, Ulster) 300 years ago was the best thing ever to happen to my humble ancestors...
