No problemo! Would like to hear about all those extra freedoms, which apparently other nations don't have.
Will leave you with three starters on that
Of all the nations on that listing (plus more than were not listed and make up the total planet) - the only one that does not offer it's own children this freedom/right, is the US - under the Convention on the Rights of the Child. All other nations provide their children the freedom to access this Convention.
The second is... All nations on that list (plus almost all others, excepting four) also permit their citizens freedom to reside wherever they wish and not be obliged to account for their income and pay taxation back to their country of citizenship while resident abroad.
The third is... and this does not apply to *all* nations on that list, but all western nations, plus many more.... full habeas corpus rights apply to all. That is not the position of the US, although it is included in the Constitution (but has since been warped).
Now.. I've been waiting to see the flipside to this and see what claimed "extra rights" the US has that other nations don't have - but, so far, no actual details have been given.
OK.. Seriously.. even where I live, there are far more freedoms and rights - the govt is not permitted to even know financial details of an individual - it's a violation of privacy. That's before we even start on anything else
