I'm disgusted.
- J-dawg 11y agoIt's an absolute joke, or at least it would be if it wasn't so frightening. I hadn't heard about the Anime case before, how is that even possible in a (supposedly) free, civilised country? British people tend to take on a superior tone when American politics is discussed. We love to mock the obsessions with guns and single-issue politics. At least freedom of speech actually means something there, is protected by the constitution and valued by normal people. We have absolutely no right to act superior.
