Most people in my country think that gambling is basically fine and handguns are a menace to society, so our laws reflect that. It seems bizarre to us that most Americans can legally own a handgun, but can't legally place a $5 bet on a football game. Our attitudes to guns and gambling aren't right or wrong, they're just different.

There are things I could say in this comment that would be a federal felony. No country has absolute freedom of speech. All countries draw a line somewhere. China draws that line in a different place to the US. It's not right or wrong, it's just different.

Being jailed for saying someone looks a bit like a cartoon character or stating simple facts about a government slaughtering students is definitively wrong. The only folks who might disagree are those brought up in brain-washy/authoritarian regimes.
