53. My freedoms are not really the problem here, are they?
Edited on Wed Sep-08-10 11:15 PM by Codeine
it's the insane reaction to the exercise thereof that is the problem. Strange that a harmless act is the issue for you and not the insane nutwhackery of Islamic violence over what really amounts to nothing.

I find it instructive that you place blame in the way that you do -- one wonders if you recommend women dress conservatively lest they provoke rape? And if a woman is raped, would you blame her for exercising her freedom to dress as she pleased?

I did not allow my government to convince me I should give up my freedoms to protect me from terrorists, so I will CERTAINLY not allow the terrorist's philosophical bedfellows to convince me to cower and whimper and give up my freedoms because their widdle feewings might be hurt.
