- crdoconnor 13y agoWe were discussing general freedom in the thread below, not just freedom of expression. I think the freedom to keep one's home which you paid for from being stolen based upon a ridiculous technicality is a pretty important one. And it is one, where, sadly, the US is not currently doing so well.
- jlgreco 13y agoYour fixation on the US whenever somebody criticizes Singapore is downright bizarre.
- crdoconnor 13y agoOther than the UK (which I also compared it to) it's the one country that most people on this American website will have familiarity with. Why, who should I comparing it with instead? Ecuador? Papua new guinea?
- jlgreco 13y agoHow about actually attempting to defend your government instead of just making absurd arguments about it being better than others. "Better than others" is a piss-poor defense. The refuge of those incapable of thinking of anything better to say of themselves.
- crdoconnor 13y agoI'm not interested in: * Defending this country's government. * Being a salesperson for this country like you said I should be - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5818163 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5818163 * Better at comforting you about the various ways this country is not so bad like you said I should be - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5817552 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5817552 I'm simply refuting the bullshit that it's a police state. If only it were actually that interesting here...
