Not sure what you mean by "actually". Actually, in many respects,
especially the important ones, we have a hell (you've probably call that
"heck") lot more freedom than you. Try working as a prostitute in new 
York, or marrying someone the same sex in Maine, or buying a glass of 
beer if you're over 18 but under whatever irrational age you set as the 
minimum.

Actually, we are allowed to use reasonable force to defend ourselves; we 
just aren't allowed to kill someone who broke into our house to steal a 
candlestick. 

I also note that Americans aren't allowed to have any kind of serious 
armaments, just those pathetic little popguns to make them feel like they 
have real arms.

This is the usual American idea that all countries outside America are the 
same, right?

What is "holiday"?

I hear that Americans only work 24 hours per day.
