My god, how pathetic are some people? Get a life! it's a free country....

I know it's probably a bit unfair but when i see the phrase " it's a free country" i generally feel it's safe to dismiss the accompanying opinion as complete bollocks as generally it's used by pig shit teenagers or Alan Brazil types and the person has no idea what the phrase actually means or how it might apply to the situation they are commenting on.

I hate "its a free country" too. Its not. We've got no single document that guarantees our human/civil rights. Its Parliaments country that thus far hasn't infringed too much on basic rights. So, its a free country my arse.
