Freedom Ride

"No man has recieved from nature the right to give orders to others. Freedom, is a gift from heaven, & every individual of the same species has the right to enjoy it as soon as he’s in enjoymnt of his reason." – Denis Diderot

What does this quote mean to you?

Nature is very close to God. You could even say nature is the expression of God as it provides us with everything we need on this earthly plane. So this quote I think says that you have no right to order around others or go against an individueal’s free will choice. Freedom is everyone’s birth right not only sanctioned by nature but also set as a law by God. Freedom is a beautiful thing which gives you pleasure but might also give you pain and suffering if used in an unwise way.

I am talking about US veterans and soldiers. Are they fighting for America every day?

Our service is the one thing that stands between your freedom and incursions by enemies bent on America’s destruction. Without a powerful standing military, others would be emboldened to attack us.

pleeeez help me
is this mean yes or no

PSP does not require a "special" WiFi adapter, it has the ability to connect directly to any wireless access point or router just as though it was a laptop or other PC with WiFi capabilities. If yours is a first edition PSP, you may need to update via USB cable first. The PSP even has a built-in web browser with a link to Sony’s PSP Underground, a site where you can download free demos, wallpaper, and much more.

Refer to the PSP manual for proper instructions on setting up your PSP for wireless connectivity (been a while since I set mine up). I remember it being pretty easy, though… my PSP found my wireless router and setup the connection automatically.

We already heard so many press activity that create much controversy in countries. Some of the new one were the cartoon corner.

I know that we lived in a country that had a freedom of press and media. But can activity of insulting someone is a good activity too? Press also disturbing personal life too, especially those celebrities and well-known person, well-known as paparazzi. Until at the end, it DOES really costs lives.

I just wondering, the freedom of press in my opinion is the freedom for the public to get information, not the freedom to disturbing other person’s private life or freedom to insult one person/group/country.

In fact, the freedom of press now becoming the freedom of writing gossip, not news. A news that it’s validity still questioned, much likely to be broadcasted in an improper way than it should.

Is this the face of press that we really wanted? From my opinion, it’s not ethical at all!

It is important to always protect the freedom of the press. At the same time, I think it is wrong how the paparazzi harrass celebrities. I don’t consider following somebody everywhere they go and taking their pictures as a necessary part of freedom of the press. This is just stalking people with a camera. The paparazzi that harrass celebrities should be arrested. It’s also the fault of the public. People should respect the privacy of celebrities and not support the gossip papers that give money to papparazzi.

I think PC is more important, we need to be tolerant and prosecute people and throw them in jail if the say bad things about Islam, the Democratic Party or Barack Obama.

There is no Freedom of Speech in Europe and Europe is the most enlightened non-Muslim country on Earth. Yes, I did refer to Europe as a country, but I am a liberal so I’m automatically smarter than you anyway.

Don’t forget if someone bad mouths our Savior, Al Gore, or his Holy prophesies. Then they should be jailed.

For example whilst the UK and Sweden both have an official religion people are free to pratice how they like, and minority religous rights are protected..

However in France and Turkey whilst there is no state religion .and all religious symbals are banned from many public area.s..

Does that necessarily meant they are more free?
In England a women has the right protected by law to wear a hijab yet in French girls are not allowed to wear hijabs to school (or any any other religous symbals… In Turkey women in hijab can not go to university or work in a government building…

Is removal of religious symbals really a sign of fredom? Are you offended by a Jewish skull cap (In France they can not wear that to school)?

Or does a truely democratic country mean freedom to practice a religion aswell?

In my view, a truly "free" nation is one that allow its citizens to decide for themselves how to live "the good life." By this criterion, no society is perfectly free because every society (out of necessity, perhaps – to preserve the social order) has laws and limitations on human behavior. We can consider a nation to be substantially free, however, if it permits varying conceptions of the good life to "compete" with one another in the marketplace of ideas without interference by the state.

Erik (above) misses the point of your question. By banning religious symbols in schools or government buildings, nations like France and Turkey are being less than free because they are not permitting these conceptions of the good life to compete fairly and freely with one another. If a Muslim girl wishes to wear the hijab to school, why on earth should the French government forbid it? Ostensibly, the answer is found in the motto of the Revolution – liberty, equality, brotherhood – but when it comes down to it, the French are putting their revolutionary vision of an egalitarian society ABOVE the desire of Muslims to set aside their women from those who do not dress modestly and who put their beauty on display for others.

Whether a state has an official religion or not has no bearing upon whether it is a substantially free state.

One final note: perhaps I am betraying my bias as an American, but I believe that religious freedom is one thing that we have done quite well. By constitutional fiat, the U.S. has no state-sponsored religion, and I believe that my nation does an outstanding job of allowing its citizens to choose their own conception of the good life. I do believe, however, that that freedom is under attack in some ways by some forces in our government.

Haven’t those wars been over for a couple of hundred years? How are Americans’ freedom being threatened?
Do you people not know the difference between the words "freedom" and "safety"? It looks like yall think they are synonymous.
Why are you people so fucking defensive? I never expressed an opinion on the war and this isn’t a fucking rant.

It’s just something that people are trained to say. If anything they are fighting for our security, not our freedom.

they always tell me wat to do all of the time and im sick of it.. i <3 them.. but sometimes, it gets me really annoyed cuzz ive tried to gain more trust.. but i hasn’t worked…me and my friends and my BF were gonna go watch a movie.. but my rents were like… NOOOO… u cant.. so my whole plans were ruined…!!!!!!!!!! HELP ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Grow up, get a job and move out….when you’re old enough.
Until then…deal with it.

Life is full of rules, until the day you’re making your own money and don’t owe anyone anything, only then can you live by your own rules…and even then…there are still more rules.
It’s just a fact of life.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but no one owes you anything until you’ve earned it and even then, they’re under no obligation to fulfill your dreams, that’s completely up to you.

MSU’s chapter landed on the hate group watch list. How’s that for conservative values?

http://www.upi.com/NewsTrack/Top_News/2007/11/13/students_land_on_hate-group_watch_list/3214/

"students told the paper they were not hate-mongers, but rather about "God, home and country.""

I’m sure the KKK says the same. Hitler was also according to himself all about those things. I’m totally not surprised they are on that list.

Just one more piece of evidence the American right is indeed regressive, anti Democratic and dangerous
