That's an interesting equation there. Society = rules? I don't agree with you. Society = agreements. Generally agreements are two-sided. The kind of society where rules are decided by some nebulous organisation that does not respond to argument or criticism and expects everyone to follow them blindly is certainly not a society I wish to partake in.
Being free does not give you license to discard that which you, in your own self, deem insensible when you are existing in a space where anyone but yourself exists. You operate in a world with billions of other humans, each with competing goals and diverging motivations.
None of my actions are impinging on the freedom of others. Of course, my freedom to move my fist stops where the next person's nose begins - but I have not, in my original post, made any suggestions that I would do something that would hurt someone else.
The least you can do is play by the rules that we, as a group, have decided are the compromise.
I think a simple invocation of Godwin's law will demonstrate how retarded this point is. HELLO! YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING! YOU HAVE A BRAIN! YOU DO NOT, EVER, HAVE THE EXCUSE OF SAYING "WELL, THAT WAS AGREED BY OTHERS".
Either that, or you're not a free human being. Your choice, in either case.
As a bit of site commentary, I notice your post getting more and more grey as people remove points because they disagree. In this instance, I added a point because, though I disagree, I think that your post is a useful addition to the commentary.
Thank you. That is sensible behaviour that, incidentally, contradicts your point about rule. Clearly the majority of people who voted on this issue also felt that I deserved to be downvoted. Why you decided to go against the obvious rule of the crowd is beyond me, but I am nevertheless grateful!
