Who knows what freedom is and are using your freedom as an abuse?
Q. Who knows what freedom is and are using your freedom as an abuse? Everyone has a freedom that can't be taken away from them and the Americans have freedom from such things; but who is using both types of freedom in the wrong way? the wrong way is thinking you have freedom to do whatever you want and whenever you want. That is the wrong way. You do not have that type of Freedom. We have freedom to vote, freedom to religion, freedom to write, freedom of speach, freedom to read books, freedom to drive, freedom to go to school. Oh you can abuse true freedom; you did by leaving God and not loving him. So did all the Atheists and Agnostics, Pagans, and all the cults of the world. The one freedom everyone has is from God himself; that is… [cont.]

A. As an American, I have freedom to do what I want to do just as long as it is within the law, USA does have laws, & we are not to disturb our neighbors, like with loud music & so on. That is why we have policemen. If I want to get into my car & go shopping, I can do it anytime I want to, Just as long as I stay within the speed limit, I can go fishing anytime I want to or hunting within legal season. Or take a vacation anytime. Now as a Christain, I can do anything I want to just as long as it don't go against God's laws or against the bible, I can play basketball, go camping, Go fishing, or hunting, shopping, church, Have a picnic.

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?

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.

Asked by DentWell - Thu Mar 26 01:03:28 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. One of the features of the Enlightenment was the exaltation of property rights to the status of a bulwark of liberty by philosophers such as John Locke. In older Europe property had always been accompanied by power; but that power was justified by the belief in the inevitability of aristocratic rule--the concept that the wealth of the nobility was their God-given right. To some slight degree it was balanced by a traditional Christian suspicion of wealth which endorsed holy poverty for the clergy and preached to the wealthy that they owed charity to the poor. Further, its power was limited by its basis--agriculture--which could expand only so far. The Industrial Revolution had many profound effects on European civilization. It rendered… [cont.]

What is freedom is it merely a social construct?
Q. True freedom would mean that we could do anything we liked that would ultimately lead to anarchy and no freedom. The US holds itself up as a banner for freedom, but is this merely a social construct. I believe it is and therefore one countries freedom can be viewed by another as anarchy, or slavery or somewhere in between it will always be viewed through the influences of their social environment. So in a way the US's and UK's strategy of foreign policy designed to free oppression is flawed and maybe we are slowly starting to realise this. This then begs the bigger question what is freedom.

A. Freedom is the lack of restraint. 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. Kinda a basic example of why we need government, why we need limits, why total freedom would actually be a bad thing and would put our bigger more important freedoms (like the freedom to live) at stake.

What is the difference between terrorists and freedom fighters?
Q. It seems like the labels are always defined by the victors. Whoever is in power calls anyone who is against it a terrorist, but once the people in power are overthrown, the former terrorists are called freedom fighters, and those originally in power are labeled the new terrorists. Even well-known freedom fighting groups have used terroristic tactics such as killing civilians. Also, many so called terrorists claim to be fighting for their freedom. So, what is the difference?

How much freedom do you give your labrador in your house?
Q. I have a one year old male labrador. We let him come in the house and walk around freely when we are home and he does very well. At night he sleeps in his crate happily. My wife would like to let him have freedom from his crate at night to sleep where he wishes and eventually let him have total freedom in the house even while we aren't home for several hours. I was wondering what freedoms labrador or other dog breed owners allow their dogs in their homes and at what age they were given these freedoms?

A. I would break her into her new freedom slowly at first and see how she does. I always kept my dogs crated at night until they are 18 months. That's a safe age. Daytime is a little different. Start by confining him to one room in the house when you leave. I wouldn't recommend starting off by leaving him for 4 hours or longer. 2 hours at the most, preferably less in the beginning. Remember, dogs can have episodes of anxiety for whatever reason too, separation anxiety is not uncommon. Slowly work your way up to the several hours that you would like to be able to accomplish. He is definitely old enough to start leaving him alone and free during the day, but as I stated above, I recommend that you continue the night time crating until… [cont.]
