In the United States, you can't be arrested for telling everybody that the Holocaust is a crock of shit, you can't be arrested for waving a Nazi flag and proclaiming that there will be a Second Coming of Hitler and the Third Reich will rise again, you can't be arrested for calling homosexuals or transsexuals disgusting names in public, and you can't be arrested for burning the Quran, the Bible or the American flag. Let me know when you can do any of these things anywhere in Europe without being arrested.
