Freedom vs. Security

[Ldude893]

Complete freedom. Complete security brings no happiness.

The only complete freedom is freedom of thought, and I already have that. For everything else there must be balance.
Yeah, I know you wanted a yea or nay answer, but fuck you, I have overdue coursework and I ain't happy.

I choose the freedom to be safe.

Otherwise known as the freedom to bear arms.
Then again, I'm Canadian, I'm already safe.

You have the freedom to have the arms of a bear? Awesome.

OT: You can't have one without the other if you want an ethical society. Perfect security with no freedom is imprisonment, total freedom with no security is just a world without consequences, which means you're just more likely to be killed/raped/whatever else, since anyone else who's "free" is just as "free" to do those things to you.
