i dont like dictators, i like freedom. its just that simple
btw, i am banned from several subs so am not allowed to defend myself from slander but whatever
if you are a voater you have known my position from a long time and i will not change it to get in to good graces with anybody
Which kind of 'freedom' do you choose and which kind of 'freedom' does your neighbor choose?
Freedom from values is freedom to commit evil.
I would never dream of censoring ideas, because those whom understand know the value in scrutiny.
You're welcome to reply and I'm welcome to ignore it.
i chose the freedoms that are written in the U.S constitution and the bill of rights
i believe that each human being is born with natural rights endowed by the creator.
if you dont enjoy freedoms then whats the point of civil life? to obey the whims and desires of a dictator? no, i was born under a dictatorship and it sucks balls
people like you have no idea of what that is like (though something similar is happening right now but its not even close and its gonna get worse)
to me its pretty stupid to change your freedoms for what, national pride?
what good does it serve if the dictator decides for whatever reason that you must go to war for him and die and be maimed or to give all your possessions to the party if they need it? etc etc etc
guys like you live in a fantasy. dictators dont bring utopias but mass suffering either early or later in the game....i have first hand experience YOU DONT!
I believe in those very same rights, the Bill of Rights, yet others will sophistize the meaning of the text to those rights to mean something very different, and will fight for that meaning. We have a large and overpowering society that wishes to see the constitution as 'living' in that it should be changed on a whim to fit 'modern' ideas. THAT is not the freedom America was founded upon.
By your own admission, you see it coming apart too; should nothing be done about it? What is the alternative?
That which you've described to stand against is already happening under this 'freedom'.
