    I am one of the many Americans that believes the US Constitution applies to everyone in the world. I'm also one of the many Americans that believe the Constituion has been attacked, subverted and trivialized by continuing legislative maneuvers ever since it was ratified in 1788.

      What, that everyone has the same rights and should be treated as equals? I don't see how that's idiotic.

        You mean the Bill of Rights, right? I mean, the original constitution mostly just sets up the structure of the federal government... The three branches and separation of powers, demarcation between federal and state powers, etc. It's most of the Bill of Rights (Plus amendments 13, 15, and 19) that I would agree should ideally apply to anyone, anywhere.

          Hmmm... I wonder how many billions on this planet would like to live under the model described in the American Constitution and Bill of Rights, rather than the regime under which they currently find themselves.

            Nice swerve there.... Absolutely I believe that everyone has the same rights and should be treated like equals....that's not what you said...you said quite clearly that the US constitution applies to everyone....no it doesn't. It applies to the USA...and ONLY the USA.... Your constitution is your business....if you guys want it to say that everybody should wear a pink shirt on Tuesdays, that's your lookout, but unless you feel like invading EVERYONE (not saying that's not something "desirable" from an American point of view), it cannot and SHOULD not apply to anyone other than US citizens....

              Probably millions.....no disagreement there....and if they want to adopt it, fine. That's completely different from Americans deciding that one of their laws applies to the whole world. But again...that's what John said....he said that he believes that it applies to everyone....which is patently incorrect, no matter how many Americans believe it. Has American law all of a sudden been adopted world wide? Until that day, it only affects Americans.

                Many civilizations and countries had that before America had it. The truth is that in America, racism and racial segregation was very blatant even till a few decades ago. (I hear it's still there).

                  No it doesn't, simple because of the same reason the laws in other parts of the world doesn't apply to the Americans.

                      Is the 2nd Amendment really that scary to non USians?
