Temat: What do you think of this statement

With out cheating and checking who's quote this is. Do you agree? Disagree? Why?

I agree with that 100%. Because I said it!
Seriously, though, it's a corollary to what I personally believe, that conforming by choice is the true sign of freedom.

There's an Irish poem about this, "Daoirse". I can't remember who wrote it, or what it's called in English, but that's more or less what it's about. It must be a very good poem because I remember it (in a way) after all these years!

I think I can guess...not sure.

Agree or not: In the absence of morality, I could physically take whatever he/she has in this world. Lawful authority protects him/her from that. Agree but only in part. It could be phrased better.

Ah, but choosing which part you agree with, is that not freedom, brother?

Not giving you an option to disagree - isn't that against your personal freedom?Rafal Wolk edytował(a) ten post dnia 10.04.08 o godzinie 15:17

Let's take the "LOST" Island as an example. Everybody there respects everybody else's space (and nobody ever swears!), yet if someone disagreed with the status quo (say, Sawyer stole all the porno mags), the swarm disapproves of this, and stronger (more free?) members of the society break some of the rules to restore as much harmony as you can have with a big monster living in the jungle beside you.

One of my teammates was jokingly insulting me and another asked me if I was "pickin' up what Rick is layin' down."

But "...smell what I'm cookin'?" That's new to me...not bad:)Joj Y. edytował(a) ten post dnia 10.04.08 o godzinie 16:19

Given that this subject has become very topical during the last few years it is tempting to say G.W.Bush or Blair or Cheney... though I have a feeling you're going to say that it was Abraham Lincoln.

I'm not sure if I agree. In the context of a 'western' state you could say that we CAN do almost anything and those things that we can't do are generally things that appear to be morally repugnant (such as murder or theft). Therefore we invite the big authority to keep people within certain confines but generally we are free.

However, who decides what the authority is going to be, or who it is going to be. What is a 'lawful authority'? Who decides it is lawful? Does it decide itself that it is the lawful authority (like after a military coup), or does a large minority decide that it is the decision maker (certain African countries).

Given that the definition of what is a lawful authority isn't really clear I'd have to disagree with the statement.

Here is another quote from the White House staff (I really wish I could get his name, unfortunately it has escaped me and google search is not helping)
