fresh is best

Depends on the veg. Some retain more nutrients when flash frozen. Frozen are very convenient, so that's plus too. Just eat food that is good for you, fresh or frozen and you will be ahead of the game.

Fresh vegetables travel from the farm to the grocery store then sit on the shelf all the while losing valuable nutrients. Frozen veggies are picked and frozen immediately thereby losing less nutrients because they don't sit around for several days. I know for a fact that veggies lose nutrients as they sit around after they are picked.

Frozen vegetables are picked when they are ripe. Fresh are picked before they are ripe. Vegetables get their nutrients from their plants not by sitting on a truck. A ripe vegetable has more nutrients than an unripe vegetable. A deep fried frozen carrot will still have more nutrients than a deep fried fresh carrot. It doesnt matter how you cook them.

In some cases frozen is more nutritious. Many fresh fruits and veggies are picked before they are ripe to prolong shelf life and are lower in vitamins and nutrients. Frozen veggies are frozen when they are ripe and in their nutritional prime.

You would think that fresh food was better but frozen food is just as good as long as you don't destroy the vitamins by overcooking them

Generally not, but there are exceptions. Once peas and sweet corn are picked the sugars start to turn to starch and after a couple of days are much less sweet. Freezing slows this down and much of the sweetness is retained.

I don't think they are better - but they are in most cases equal. (As long as they are not frozen with sauces or salt)

Probably not.
As has already been said, its the way and length of cooking time that is responsible for vitamin loss.
