Personal freedom ends where exercising one's freedoms would impinge on another's freedoms.Simple, isn't it? But even that can be used to limit personal freedom too far

How about, you're more than allowed to walk around topless in NYS. But Nobody's allowed to see a nipple due to a 'costume malfunction' during a super-bowl half-time show?

Hey, I guess that kinda means you still have half a right to walk around naked?

ALRIGHT EVERYBODY! EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT!

(...oh, wait, let me get a camera...) ;)

"No no this is New York, women are allowed to walk around!"

[logic_free_mind]

Around what?

[logic_free_mind]

Ah! Thanks! I get it!

So, see how many turn out for club tonight?

[seoman007]

I may or may not have a right to not see naked people, but either way I gladly waive that right if you're walking down the street naked. :)

[lissa_dora]

Aren't you wonderful, darling?

But who's going to stop the person who thinks that me waiving my right to clothes means I'm also waiving my right to, say, not get attacked?

[logic_free_mind]

Ooh! Someone to guard your body?

Well, if you're gunna do it I'm sure I could come up with a body or two to guard yours...Well, for everything short of cops and stuff.

Then again, youse got Sam fer that too, and he's cheaper than people like I am. ;)

[lissa_dora]

Cheaper than you are?

*raises an eyebrow*

have you figured the cost of room & board, plus clothing and candy allowance, lately?

Bodyguards are neat

ie My rights are taken way the minute I get home.

it's interesting how the wording of things can change the meaning sooo much.

[logic_free_mind]

No no no...
Well, Not legally at least.

But, then again, they have the right to tell you to go away too.

But, if they try to take away all your rights, I'll tell ya what, Give me a call and we'll grab Sam and send him up there to live with em. You'll be welcome back real soon. (That or we'll lose our ST too and you'll never be able to go home due to lack of room...)

[ritmissy]

meh looks like they might be kicking me out pretty soon anyway...but that could always work in my favor.

[lissa_dora]

My Sam? Or a different Sam?

[panimu]

How about my right to see people naked, how far does that get me?

The whole gay marriage rights thing makes me want to scream in peoples (Americans) face "RIGHT TO PERSUE HAPPINESS - isn't that what you people believe?!?"

[lissa_dora]

"Liberty, Justice, and Pursuit of Happiness," yep, unless it upsets someone's sense of right and wrong.

[panimu]

That last bit sounds made up

[logic_free_mind]

Dontcha mean "Life Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness"?

Ya know, those inalienable rights we're supposed to have untill other people decide to take em away and stuff...

Which, I always thought was kinda kewl, cuz we got no right to justice, just to the pursuit of it in order to make us happy.

Freedom and Interdependance

[sad1225]

At the fundamental level, your freedom is entirely dependent on your ability to enforce your freedom
