America is said to be the Most free country and that is why, so many are turning it into a not so free country. Too free is not necessarily a good thing, as we see everyday more and more.

freedom is a myth when one lives as part of a 'community'

we are a constitutional republic, which means we all must adhere to certain laws and responsibilities,,,

we can really only compare 'freedoms' with other countries, but as a measure in itself, there is no way for a community to have it in any absolute sense,,,

lets remember, although white males were essentially 'free' (with the exception of indentured servants and briefly, slaves), plenty of others in america took much longer to win that same level of 'freedom'

timeline of 'america' (since its founding and not including the period between settling geographically and making it official)

founded 1776
oppression of women legally ended with 19th amendment in 1919
oppression of blacks legally ended with voting rights act in 1965
18 year olds 'free' to have a political voice with 26th amdnement in 1971


so, depending upon how one is going to define 'free' when it comes to life and politics,,, there is no freer time than now for us ALL to go back to


this is the freest we have ALL been in americas history,, although some may feel less free because of the freedoms others have gained,,,

I'm glad at least you can see it! After talking to a lot of the posters on here, I'm getting the impression that most Americans have Stockholm Syndrome. How do we provide psychotherapy to 27% of your nation?

If there are such people they are not in your government. Your Country is the most cruel, warlike and savage one on earth, bar none. It stole the land from the people who lived there first and killed them when they protested. Until such time as your country stops murdering people by the million all over the world, I'd suggest that American citizens are not safe from their government and should protect themselves from their vicious and warlike government by arming themselves to the teeth to prevent it from turning its massive arms on them.

(By government, I do not refer to the crooked lackey shills that you vote into office; I refer to their boss...The Bank.)

the UN, Im pretty sure, isnt committing the mass murders in america,,,,

perhaps another thread can be started on the topic of the UN

Hi just joined up, my sons want me to get a life,so here I am, hoping to find that special someone.
I hope I get a reply, If not, that's okay, I have children and I am used to talking to myself anyway

Most people who want or think they need a gun shouldn't have one. Because they believe it gives them power that it doesn't give them. Because they sickly want the power that they are not mentally equipped to have.

It is a false sick sense of protection from imaginary fear fed to people by the not well in our country who are hatemongerers and fearmongerers.

Most guns bought for protection if used for more than target practice are used to kill women, kill kids, kill family, kill fellow employees, kill neighbors, etc...

There are never NEVER cases of these guns saving the day in a mass shootings and the guns are almost always there but are not used.

There are no reliable stats to support more guns equal less crime, there are no reliable stats that more guns make for a safer environment at all anywhere.

Guns kill innocents all the time and it all comes from gun crazies who think they need to have guns.

NRA has so much blood on it's hands, so many women's blood and children's blood. As do all the gun toters like this guys mom from the recent shooting.
