lol @ calling the US a "police state".
I love Britain (I have family there), but it's way more of a "police state" than USA. Cameras everywhere, shit gun laws, laws against "inciting religious hatred". In Germany you can't even question anything about the holocaust.
Here in America, I could deny the holocaust and rant about Islam all I want, and the only thing I'll have to worry about is hurt feelings from hippies and the ADL.
