This line of logic will take you down a slippery slope.

I do not have the power to lift a oil barge from the water with my mind even though i want to. If freedom is doing whatever you want, whenever you want, i am not free in this situation.

Similarly:

I do not have the power to lift an oil barge from the water with my mind, and i do not want to. If freedom is doing whatever you want, whenever you want, i am free in this situation.

How is it that i was not free in the first example, but free in the second?

I await your response to the question above.
Ok first of all I thought we are talking about reality, you know the thing with limitations. I was talking about freedoms that were actually possible. Also for the cannabis example that is one of the acts you may be free to commit but, could you go kill someone and be free not to suffer any consequences? I think not. So like I said freedom is being able to do whatever you want, when you want and how many times you want(with in reality's limitations.....).So the end result is still the same , your freedom being prohibited.
This part is to psycho, I do not think that is what I said at all. I do not think we should be allowed to bust someones shit up and then get paid for doing it. But when you bust someones car up and pay for it to be fixed and then add in a better engine or plasma tvs in the back seats you should be paid partly for it. I am not saying we should be paid back full or even half or even a tenth, but when you have money coming out your ass and ask us to stay even longer I think they can help chip in.
This is for overgrow, I don't know exactly to what you are responding to but, if you think I am for the Iraq war you are sadly mistaken. I think that invading Iraq was one of the worst decisions the US has made this century. But as llife would have it mistakes are made and this happens to be a big one. So should we just fuck all the shit up and then say fix it your damn self or stay and make sure that they can actually ride the bike by themselves before taking off the training wheels?
