Oh please - I claim nothing at all. The americans do so. I just draw your attention to some of the many and ugly ways some uses to undermine free societies.
Claus when I was at school I was always teased about being fat (I still am occasionally, but I am thick skinned now)
kids/people are provocative by nature, and freedom of speech is such, that they have every right to tell me I am fat, in fact
"The kids do so. they just draw your attention to the fact you are fat"(hell of a quote)
you have every right to expect freedom of speech, but I know from experience that the more you do it the more likely you are to suffer retribution, the person dishing out the retribution is usually classified as an undesirable, rarely are the provocotors judged to be at fault almost always the retaliarors.
I use this as an example because of the Danish Cartoons, I lived and worked in Helsinge many many years ago, so I do have some experience of Danes and they way they are.
You can point things out as much as you like, you are an opinionated man (I actually find you quite amusing and think you are clever, just somewhat misguided in your out look)
It is a shame someone did not stop the Danes printing the cartoons, I would not call it censorship, I just think if you are going to say or do something, you should be the one that is prepared to take the consequences, not your fellow countrymen, I did not see the danes that printed the cartoon list their names and phone numbers underneath the cartoon publication. (for any possible feedback, from the people they knew they were insulting)
They just sat back while the consequences (and I defy anyone with a level of intellegence to realise that the extremists would not kick off about this in their country and the chances of loss of life were IMHO quite high.
I think that comedy central were justified in their decision, I do not think that the American Gov are as you put it guilty of this

which is what I believe you are trying to point out.
after the cartoon fiasco, I believe you should be posting on a Danish Goverment web site and pointing out their failings ( in other words Claus, get your own house in order before throwing stones in glass houses)
and it is this statement that I belive "Here an example of censorship from number 1 nation of the free world." that contradicts this statement "No Jimmy - I am not. US Government has nothing at all to do with this case."
