holy crap, he\'s ALREADY Double-As. hell, i\'ve been here 7 months and i\'m STILL not Double-As (not complaining, just pointing out) daaaaaamn, dude, do you LIVE here?  

i guess i\'ll toss in my two cents (which are worth very little)....

1) What is freedom?
The chance to make your own judgements, thoughts, and opinions as you choose when you want to. essentially, being able to have conscious thought and being able to act upon them if rational and if they do not infringe on the freedom of others. (i.e. like kahlisi said, going around killing people is not considered \"rational\").

2a) Is there any limit on how free you can be?
(This one is asking for a non-artificial restraint, for an example a law is an artificial restraint.)
Yes, there is a limit. There is a point where you cannot have full freedom. (i.e. some things are just plain impossible. to grow wings and fly, for example. running about trying to do this will result in one injuring or having adverse effects upon oneself and/or others )

2b) Do you think it is possible to remove all your freedom?
Yes and no. No, because it is not possible for a person to have all concious thought quashed and/or forced in a specific direction by another. Thus, a person can still make judgements, decisions, and opinions though not necessarily be able to act upon them fully. (being able to make judgments, decisions, and opinions was part of my definition of freedom). Yes, it is possible because bieng able to act on the decisions was also part of my definition. finally, people can\'t do ANY of this stuff if they\'re dead.

3) Do you think that it is possible to have too much freedom?
Yes. If you are infringing upon another person\'s freedom, then you have too much. Examples of this have been drawn up very well in the previous posts so there is no reason for me to make any more.

I don\'t see the point of putting our names on this thing (as they\'re just screen names, not our real names) but i\'d like to remain anonymous thankee very much.

*shrugs* your head. *takes cane away from kada* you can have this back after you get out of throwing distance of Kiern\'s new victi-....i mean groupi-......errrr, i mean pet *wince* oops. i mean Kiern\'s new newbie. there we go. I don\'t think Kiern will like it very much if you impale raven. *tosses Raven a RavenSnack (tm)* here ya go boy

1) beat you? bah, kada doesn\'t BEAT you with the cane. she throws it. 2) besides, kada\'s really nice, aren\'t you kada? *takes kada\'s purse* see? nothing at all will happen to you, she\'s too nice to-...urk! *looks down to see cane protruding from chest* okay.......so i lied *pulls cane from chest* tosses bloody cane on ground. you\'re going to take more than that to get rid of me, the cockroaches and I will be around forev-... *cuts off as Fyre dodges another cane* *starts running*

P.S. don\'t worry kada, and aelya, and meket, and everone else we mentioned, we all love ya.  i\'m still not going to get within range of kada\'s throwing arm-...urk! *pulls bloody cane out again* not again! *continues running*

aye, good rules all of em general. a few more rules. A) touch the Princess, and she will kill you. She will rip your arms off and make you eat them while she beats you with your legs. If meket gets his hands on you, you will wish you were in hell. Don?t worry about it though, you?ll probably be dead by the time he gets there if the Princess gets to you first. B) Don?t go after Kiern, or any of the other forum old-timers. You will be swarmed with waves of logic, OTHER forum old-timers, random comments, twisted realities, and other unsavory things. Translation ? don?t mess with em. C) Go after Cyo, you?ll wish you?d insulted the entire forums first. Cyo?s temperament and ferocity is that of a wolverine bred with a Tasmanian devil. Therefore making it a Tasmanian Wolverine Devil. D) Binary is the master. E) welcome to the world of the big boys (and girls). For the initiation ceremony, you must do as followed. You must find the Apple of Forum Initiation, which is past the River of Flames, which is in the Forests of Spam, guarded by the Trolls of??well??the Trolls. Once you get past them all, you must climb the Twisted Beanstalk of Logic and get past the Dragon of Opinion and crack open the Indestructible Egg of Newness, and you will find what you?ve been questing for after all these trials:??a note saying that you crossed the wrong River of Flames and you took a wrong turn awhile back and you have to do it all again.
final note, none of this means ANYTHING. i am merely posting random drivel and reinforcing the General\'s comments.

lol, depends on what you define as \"normal.\" we have the BEST weather here in Southern California. the weather never drops below 50 degrees Fahrenheit all year (well, it hasn\'t yet) and, for snow, we can just head up to Big Bear whenever we want. also, we can hang out on the beach pretty much year round. hahahahaha, you all suck. only bad thing is, we never get school cut off. so much stupid sunshine isn\'t gonna get school closed. makes us sweat like pigs in the summer, but doesn\'t get school closed. \"and now, we bring you the morning report. due to excessive sunbeams, and bright driving conditions, schools will be closed until.....\"

Venge, she already said her parents aren\'t really interested in helping out right now cuz they think she\'s too young and don\'t think she\'s serious. and i don\'t think most 8th graders HAVE guidance counselors at school (i don\'t at least). bbum, 3dsmax (which by the way is an EXCELLENT program for 3d modeling) can be dled off kazaa. my friend has done it.
