What does freedom mean to you? This seems to be a word that denotes very different things people. Most everybody values freedom, yet what "freedom" means to one person is often the antithesis of it to another.

Possibly the worst song Paul McCartney has ever written.
But one of the best RATM wrote.

Nonsense! After 6 days, there is one post semi-related to the original question. That my friend, is success.

Freedom is being able to do whatever you want to do as long as it's not hurting or stopping anybody else to do the same.
or more explicitly: Fuck whoever however you want as long as they're adult and agree with it. Consume whatever you want as long as you don't hurt anyone, to pay for it or when you're under the influence of it, or ask them to foot the bill for fucking up your health, or that of the planet, in the process. Go live wherever you want as long as you are ready to earn your living when you're there. And if you don't want to contribute to the upkeep of society (through tax), don't expect to get anything back from it either so just go live on an island somewhere where you pay for EVERYTHING you ever get...even when you get sick, or old and whatever.
or in another word: take responsibility on what you have influence on, but don't be mean to others because shit happens (even to you!)
