Quote:So keeping up with the times means moving towards authoritarianism and a restriction of rights then? You're right, they never would've had the internet so we need to have speech codes. They never had automatic weapons so we need confiscatory gun control laws. Church? No one needs that anymore, we should ban it or at least <del>fine</del> tax those who choose to attend. The whole problem is that when someone gets to draw the line then that person has the power over where the line is. I'm not ok with that and you shouldn't be either.

Many lines are drawn and they were then as well. There is a reason why. Because freedom, true freedom has costs as well. If people were free to murder than that would effect those who don't want to be murdered. If people were legally allowed to drink and drive than we would have more lost lives than we do now. If people were allowed to blow up buildings than it would cost people lots of $ and put insurance companies out of business. If people were free to abuse pets without recourse than we would have even more abused pets. Everyone wants absolute freedom until it infringes on what they think is right. You want no line drawn, but have already drawn lines yourself.
