What is the point of this post?

A federal judge ruled today that graphic pictures of detainee abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison must be released over government claims that they could damage America's image.

Someone should tell them that bad press can be prevented by not abusing prisoners in the first place. Censorship is only needed to preserve the good reputation of those who have tortured and/or murdered already.

I don't believe that the main signal that the high incarceration rates provide deal with freedom. The bigger issue is that people for some reason see fit to break these laws instead of living normal lives. If I were an American I would be embarrassed.

If it's a freedom to feel secure and have yourself and your property protected, isn't also a freedom to have protection from other bodily harm, like disease? How many americans don't have health insurance?

I also wonder if they'll let me sneak in illgally and give me heath care and food stamps while I work and pay no taxes. That'll leave me lots of money for sex and dope.

What you can do and what you are allowed to do are rarely the same thing.

I would call what you can do without fear of persecution (or prosecution) freedom. I do not know of a county that offers me more freedon than the USA.

sounds like you are for people doing drugs and doing more crime

moral laws BTW are all our laws...speed limits....punching people in their fucking mouths.....etc......all of that is based on the base norm , morals of the majority really

i am sure you are all for anarchy and shit since you are so american.. ...but in the end most of us dont see it that way

he is talking out his arse

the normal north korean doesnt even have fucking money for food so i doubt they are sporting fucking the JUKE phone and dancing in panmujon........

If that's the definition you seek light up a joint in any downtown of Alabama, Utah, etc. before you scratch the move to Holland.

Normal? Who said anything about the normal citizen? Does the normal American drive a new Lincoln town car like the FBI or is he/she generally depending on a rusty late '90s gas hog?

so the use of drugs is your definition of freedom????


you need to get high to be free?

wow

I know. You heed all government commands without question regardless of logic or the fact they serve no one but the government for control purposes and not obeying them results in a victimless crime. That's what you were trained to do for most of your adult life.

No, I require the option to get high, be it alcohol or weed, or do anything I wish to my body that doesn't harm anyone else without government restrictions. Seems like a harmless to others desire.

And you question all things from the government cause whilst you are high it seems to be a good idea

the above of course is a total assumption just like your crap and actually probably isnt grounded in fact just like your little diatribe

That's a strange opinion, were you not a member of the military for 20-years under a contract that required following every order given to you? Do you not feel that logically you provided unquestionable loyalty driven by the alternative, prison? Or were you able to rationalize ever order as being the right thing to do to facilitate your actions? I have yet to see perfection in any government but realize bringing logic into a discussion where minds are set in government stone is a fool's errand.
