no because you have to have a permit to burn things in your garden dont you, and i doubt ud want to burn it inside your house, and you couldnt do it in public because its called arson

seriously though, i dont believe there are any true symbols of freedom, we live in a world full of racism, intolerance and hatred, until we get that sorted i dont think therell be any real freedom.

Life is freedom. anyone can do whatever they want at any given momment. you may get kileld or punished for it, but you can still do it. Everyone has freedom of choice. aside from life and christ, this was the greatest gift God ever gave man. Just because there are laws prohibiting certain things, doesnt mean there is freedom. there has to be laws, there has to be order in the world. this is just the controll of freedoms that a census deems necessary mixed with biased opininated morales. I know there are people born or forced into shitty situations where there is no such thing as freedom, that is irrelevant though.No matter how many humans try and control and take away freedom,it will always be there, but with a price.

you actually spent time wading through that sarcastic bullshit to come up with a serious remark. WOW your special

yes, but is there ever real freedom without consequence?

complete freedom? no, not in todays societies. Maybe different parts of the world somewhere in a valley hidden from man.

Ask yourself though, would you want complete and utter freedom to be introduced into a world like today? there has to be some kind of order. If everyone had freedom of choice without consequence, would you want to leave your house? Would life be as full without consequences?

wading? not like it was hard to read and reply to... 🙄
i will agree with you that it was bullshit tho lol

you sure is a sharp one aint ya.

of course not

to be honest the only freedoms i really want are economic freedom i.e. being able to afford to live my life the way i want to, and also racial and discriminatory freedom, so people accept each other as people, not white, black, asian, latino etc., just treat each other the same, it wouldnt be total freedom but it would be a start

you do have that economic freedom. It's up to you to exercise it.

No one is telling you you can't work hard to make money. No one said you can't go to school to further educate yourself in life.

The sky is the limit...it's up to you to use your potential.

i cant go to college unless i pay for it, i cant get a house unless i get a really good job, i cant get a good job because i havent been to college, its a vicious circle for a lot of people. It is ireland after all.

it is freedom for some people, just not everyone.

you get what you make out of life. So what...things weren't handed to you. Becoming financially "rich" has never been easy...

So what if you don't have a great job, or a great education...if you don't have either of those...then try inventing something.

The guys that created Razor scooters weren't rocket scientists....they just invented something useful. Why not do the same

I think it's our freedom of sexuality. 😱

all i said was that not everyone has those freedoms. i'm gonna work hard, of course i am, i want to make something of myself.

as for freedom of sexuality, thats everyones freedom to choose, but a lot are not accepted because of their choices.

Ireland's a lot better off nowadays dude 😕

its gone from no money at all to too much money in the wrong places, the division between rich and not so rich is widening all the time

It can't be that bad, the state seems much better at self preservation than the UK currently.

maybe, but to be honest its the euro and a shoddy government screwin us all outta any chance to make a life, thats why am emmigrating

The American Constitution and Bill of Rights say it all for me - and I am not even an American !

There are two things that worry me though about the freedoms of the West...

1). Just how free are we REALLY when Big-Brother is watching us all the time.

2). Like anything else that comes easy we take whatever freedoms we have for granted until we either lose them or see see just how restricted and imprisoned the other peoples of the world can be.

If you are looking for a specific symbol or icon for freedom then the Statue of Liberty must be the one that rises above all others.

THIS.... from a highlander in the North of Scotland !

They would work as a symbol yes, but too bad their entire concept is being breached today. sad really.
