Why do people abuse their freedom rights?

Question

You can be a psychotic annoyance that promotes bigotry and hatred and no one can do anything about it, because your freedom says you can do so.

Answer 1

Because they can

Answer 2

There is always someone on the edge. That's the nature of a bell curve, and a bell curve can be used to describe nearly every human characteristic. So just as there are some people much taller than average and some much shorter, there are some much more foolish than average, or nasty or whatever. Fortunately, there are also some much more wise and good.

The main reason young people abuse their rights (and their privileges) is that they need to find where the limits are. If there is a significant gap between what is illegal and what is punished, or between act and consequence more generally, they reasonably cannot be expected to learn the limits very easily.

Then too, there is often a gap between what is wrong and what is illegal. Many things which are illegal are not really wrong in any other sense, which tends to lessen respect for the law. Smoking marijuana is the most obvious example.

So many wrong things go unpunished, or at least seem to in the short term. Being just plain rude and annoying and obnoxious is not, in itself illegal. But developing a habit of being rude, disrespectful and ill mannered has a long-term consequence in the people who will tolerate you, the way people treat you. Sooner or later, this will land a person in enough trouble (sassing a cop, for example) to make you grow up and act like a responsible citizen. (Actually BEING a responsible citizen may take longer.)

So the answer in many cases is that they are just too young, or perhaps too ill-bred, to know any better.

Answer 3

Why? Because freedom means you have choices, and not everyone makes the right choices. Does that make freedom's rights wrong? No!
The fact that we can make a mistake, and hopefully learn from it, is the greatest freedom of all.

Answer 4

People confuse freedom for license to do whatever they wish without consequence. True liberty is having the unfettered opportunity to do what ye KNOW is right.

If you make such a statement you should say what they are doing that you say is abuse of human rights?
