What limits on freedom are essential to maintaining life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness?
Q. A lot of people seem to think that limits on freedom is repressive. However, yelling that there is a fire in a theater when there is not a fire is a valid limit on the freedom of speech. What other limits do you think are essential?
Asked by Jonathan R - Wed Dec 31 07:04:37 2008 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Your example is good, but what about in business? When government guards our health and working conditions from unscrupulous employers, they are limiting a freedom to conduct their business as they want. It is a parallel to protecting us from dangerous or harmful products. Think about food quality at the end of the 1800's, and early 1900's. Limits should be open to voters, and not be exclusively done by government. Too much power has been given to the government and not enough retained by the people, who the government is supposed to be representing, not controlling.

How much freedom does the mother cat need?
Q. Is it wise to keep your cat locked in a room with her kittens (5 days old) or will she be needing more freedom? (I have 2 Jack russels and do not want them to go and interfere with them). I do give her lots of attention and let her walk around when I get home from work until she wants to go back to her litter. Any advice?

A. Which War ?? Admiralty Law affected and was a partial cause for the War of 1812... the English Navy was kidnapping American sailors of English-descent and pressing them into service. The 'freedom of the seas' concept, dating from the 17th century: stated that national rights were limited to a specified belt of water extending from a nation's coastlines, usually three nautical miles, according to the 'cannon shot' rule developed by the Dutch jurist Cornelius van Bynkershoek. All waters beyond national boundaries were considered international waters free to all nations, but belonging to none of them (the mare liberum principle promulgated by Grotius).

How many Democrats will stand up for freedom of speech when they try to enact the 'Fairness Doctrine"?

A. Andrea- a great question & one of my big concerns! Since I know your own personal politics and previous politics- I really love watching you grow as a conservative. Free speech is for all of us, not just Republicans, not just Dems. The fact that the dems call it a "fairness doctrine" makes it sound like a good thing- to those who don't really understand what it is. I think they did that on purpose for the bleeding hearts to hear the word "fairness". Of course they will support it, some having no idea what it is- other than Dems want it. This will be a HUGE fight if it happens! I have already started on my representatives.

The Freedom of Speech protect you from talking about crimes others committed?
Q. Like if you know someone who committed a crime years ago, (like say a $10,000 robbery) but that person never got caught, can you talk about it (even though you were not involved in any way, shape or form, the person just told you about it since he's your friend for many years). Can you talk about it without being harassed by Police? If not, why not? Isn't freedom of speech suppose to protect the individual? What extremities does freedom of speech protect you from?
Asked by Avide - Mon Jul 12 20:22:38 2010 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. As the other responses indicated, this really isn't a free speech issue at all. You seem to think that you have the right to speak to others about a crime without police officers seeking information about it. The First Amendment only prohibits the (federal) government from abridging your right to free speech by punishing or prohibiting certain speech. You don't seem concerned with punishment on account of your proposed speech, except in the form of police "harassment," which doesn't seem to be more than the ordinary investigation of what you acknowledge is a crime. It's certainly possible for police to take actions in response to your speech that would be a constitutional violation, but that probably would be an extreme case and doesn't [cont.]

A. I've been to both and think that by stabilizing Iraq to the point where they an govern and provide their own security makes us safer by not allowing the country to be used as a terrorist training base. Same holds true for Afghanistan except there is much more work to be done there. EDIT - the key to all of this is education. It is good to see that girls are able to go to school in Afghanistan. Educating the populace is the first step to removing ignorance and the influence of religious zealots on the population. Eliminate this and it is harder to find people who want to be suicide bombers.

What is the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter?
Q. Studying the Middle East in my Global Class and it sparked the question of what is the difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter. my personal opinion was that a freedom fighter helped people that were being attacked physically by others. they are also more peaceful. While a terrorist is someone who "feels" like they are being attacked, but not really sure. plus they are a lot more aggressive and violent. so if some people can put in their own personal opinion on these topics, that would be great because I really want to know what others think on the subject.

For me the thought of freedom is not heavy or burdenful, but joyful, and well... freeing. :) Total license would mean chaos in any group of people, no matter how large or small. So having *some* limits on our freedom is a good thing. I wouldn't want my neighbor to be free to kill me. So I give up my own freedom to kill other people, and he does the same, and then we can both live in harmony and enjoy our freedom to live without being killed.
