First Amendment to the United States Constitution
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
So please explain to me what law Congress made that the Dixie Chicks were prosecuted under.
You can't, because no such law exists. The Dixie Chicks just pissed off their own customer base, which was just bad business. If there were laws against being stupid, half of the people who write comments on these boards would be behind bars. -

The ones that cry and wale about "Political Correctness" are the same ones who hate it when someone else speaks their mind or shares an opinion that conflicts with their world view. They are pretty much in the minority, but due to social media's long reach, small stories get bigger hype than they deserve.

Who are you calling stupid when you can't even write a proper sentence? Another beep Brit who think he's better than everyone else. Why are you on IMDB or even watching movies made here? Stick to your British created websites and your stupid British tough guy so called gangster movies.
Go find another site that wasn't made by an American and use that.

Tsk! Tsk! Research and proofreading are your friends.
IMDb was created by a Brit, not an American.
Also, "Another beep Brit who think he's" is not a "proper sentence." It should read Brit who think
s
he's. -

IMDB was little more than a British blog before it was acquired by an American and turned into what it is today. Similar stories abound.
Little more than a blog? This isn't even remotely true. Use the wayback machine and take a look. So this is a British built site, we're talking about a British actress, and the only thing America did for either is buy and commercialise them. Similar stories abound. -

I'm not british and you just gave an answer to my question. There are many americans that are smart and good people but you just proved you're one of the stupid ones. -

And you just proved that you're an insecure pussy who feels a need to apologize for his countrymen when no apology is called for.
Btw, if you learned how to use the quote feature there wouldn't be so much confusion as to who is talking to whomdumass.

Sorry to say most of them are stupid, but some are really nice and it was in fact them who warned me about their stupidity, you can't generalise a whole country, but my personal experience was utterly horrifying!

If you were as arrogant in your correspondence with those Americans who "horrif[ied]" you as you are here, then it's not difficult to understand why they gave you a hard time. Now, don't you have a roof to thatchlimey twat.

I don't know where you come from, Sport, but where I come from you don't ask someone to take you in and then turn right around and talk shyte about them when they are kind enough to do so. If the bitch thought so little of America, then why did she beg to become an American? I hope John Kasinski has taken note of how little integrity his new bride has when it comes to oaths.
