4th Of July Sign In Public Park Sums Up The State Of 'Independence' [View all] Ichingcarpenter Jul 2013 OP

That is correct! Freedom means no rules, no responsibility. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #1

Logical fallacy. How about "Authoritarian security means no freedom."?? nm rhett o rick Jul 2013 #21

Nah. You're missing the big key words, like fascist or oligarchy or Orwellian. Buzz Clik Jul 2013 #22

How absurd. No one is advocating that. The line needs to be drawn somewhere and rhett o rick Jul 2013 #25

Which logical fallacy is it when you justify something because everyone is doing it? rhett o rick Jul 2013 #38
