    Default What country in the world has the most FREEDOM?

    What country in the world allows it's citizens the most personal freedom? A country with lax laws. I'm thinking probably somewhere in Europe. Your thoughts?

    I imagine it’s all a trade off, depending on how you define freedom. There are things I could do in Europe that I can’t here, and things here I couldn’t do in Europe. It would be better to set a specific criteria.

    This - it depends on what you mean by freedoms. Also, if you don't speak the language it changes the dynamic. Somalia is "free" as in there's almost no law enforcement but I'm pretty sure you don't mean that. Western Europe is a lot less free in some ways than the US or eastern Europe.

    Probably it is Czech republic and Netherlands. I think it about it because in Prague erotic massage is legal and in the Netherlands prostitution is legal too. From own experience I can say that I was in Prague and visited massage parlor and it was well. And of course LGBT community do not banned and there is not homophobia too.

    I wouldn't say the most "free", but I've enjoyed living in South Africa because you can just get on with your life in a way that you can't in Australia or other places. That says, you do also have to contend with the crime rates and poor economy so.

    One person's freedom is another person's lawlessness and anarchy. I suspect that it is even more complicated for woman, because, you also have to balance freedom with respect and equality, for example, Spain is more liberal in many respects, but, sexual assault is taken less seriously than it is in the U.S. (I'm not mansplaining, just making an observation.)

    I've been to Amsterdam and I loved it. However, you can find more liberal states in the U.S. without having to give up the U.S. entirely, e.g., prostitution is legal in Nevada and pot is legal in several states.
    Women are meant to be loved, not to be understood.
