Orlando Tim Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 3 hours ago, SectionC3 said: How precisely does one view freedom? A fair question posed by Gunner Bill. Is it extreme libertarianism, along the lines of "nobody can make me wear a mask in Target?" Or is it something else? Maybe Buffalo Timmy and those of his political orientation can chew on this. It's good food for thought and it echoes what Gunner Bill is getting at: "Real liberty for all could not exist under the operation of a principle which recognizes the right of each individual person to use his own, whether in respect of his person or his property, regardless of the injury that may be done to others." To argue against me you have pretend freedom is a difficult concept to understand? While there are instances where we might disagree but on the broad strokes intelligent people agree. I didn't think freedom is generally a partisan political concept but apparently some here disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then what are you talking about? That sometimes freedom takes different forms? Not related to the topic or what was being discussed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or can you accept that freedom involves some restraints for the betterment of the group? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who ever insinuated that we should not have rules? Who are you arguing against? Lack of rules is not the definition of freedom to anyone I know 1 hour ago, SectionC3 said: What’s your definition of freedom?
