Do you believe in unlimited freedom?

By unlimited, I mean freedom without responsibility.

I don't as I only see it leading to harm and destruction. The only question that remains for me is how limited should freedom be?

Freedom without (self-) responsibility ain't 'freedom', only 'license'.

freedom is a moral right of moral people. duty and responsibility, to self and others come along with it.

There should be no God authorities over people, that is not freedom, but taking license that is none justifiable.

So there is no such thing as unlimited freedom. Every man has limits, and limitations.

I believe in unlimited freedom in putting one's hands around your throat.

How can you do that when you're all wrapped up in your pink strait-jacket?

I'm not talking about myself, I'm talking about people in general.

A loser is somebody who drapes himself with the American flag.
