Are you willing to give up your freedoms to feel safer?

Question

Or are we being setup to be more controlled by our government?

Answer 1

Hell no, then again when you think about it, we really don't have that many anyway.

Answer 2

Funny thing. When liberals bring up this argument, it always turns out that its the freedoms of criminals and terrorists that they are talking about and have nothing to do with me or my freedoms (which liberals don't give a rats *** about).

To avoid confusion, let me state for the record that if some scumbag gets out of prison, I am fully behind putting a chip in his head that tells law enforcement where he is at all times and, with a flip of a switch, detonates a small explosive charge, stopping whatever new criminal activity he is engaged in. As far as terrorists are concerned, they should be instantly executed the moment they are discovered.

Have a nice day.

Answer 3

Every time there is trouble in society, people willingly give up their personal freedom to insure stability. The French and Russian revolutions all came, Pinochet, Castro, Stalin, Hitler all rose to power in troubled times. However when the society starts "feeling better", people forget their original motivations and commitments and demand more liberties.
If you study history thoroughly you will see it's pretty much a constant circle of life...

Answer 4

This question would NEVER be posted if you ever had to deal with a VIOLENT and ABUSIVE Ex-Spouse, who was convicted of Child Abuse, then comes back again and again -- to Rob your Residence, to Take your child (and have to have the overwhelming worry about where the Teenager is and IF they are safe), and to have to constantly repair all the Property Damage, to have to go to the hospital and get bones set, etc.

So yes, I would be WILLING to give up a little to feel safer in this world.

Answer 5

How about HELL NO! How could giving up my freedoms make me feel safer? If you're willing to give up your freedoms, them you might as well live in a COMMUNIST society....which I almost feel our country is headed that way anyway. Huh. Giving up my freedoms would mean surrendering my gun, and THAT won't happen, trust me. They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold, dead fingers.

Answer 6

Your kidding stunning? there is often the back alley, or a coat hanger. There seems to be greater at stake right here than in basic terms reproductive freedom. as far as reproductive freedom, i think of it is going to be momentary sterilization on m/f till you are able to coach which you would be able to provide nutrition, dwelling house and better guidance so as to compete with the improve of the international and the limited aspects. make a contribution to society and not dissipate the endangered ecosystem.

Answer 7

It's too late for such question. Freedom is now a technical word used by politicians to support their feel-safe propaganda. Some scare their children off to sleep about a boogieman that doesn't exist but in fairy tales.

Sleep well everyone.

Answer 9

Look I fought in a war to protect mine and your freedoms, what do you think, am I willing to give away freedoms?

Answer 10

Hell no! The governement IS setting us up to be controlled (I feel.) I would rather be free! There is dignity in risk... I don't need the government to keep me safe.

Answer 11

giving up your freedom to feel safer is like giving up your brain to feel smarter...as long as someone else controls you, you are not safe...
