There's freedom to do things and freedom from things. I'd rather be free from the dumb shit some people want to do than free to do that dumb shit.

And I'd rather people be free to do that dumb shit. It seems we just fundamentally disagree on this issue. If it were a thing, I would gladly exchange my Australian citizenship for an American one.

That is nanny state bullshit and you should be ashamed. Freedom from things just means restrictions on other people's freedom that you don't like. Go live in fucking China if you want that, unless you're already posting from there.

No need to be aggressive, I'm not saying I agree with everything that you list, just trying to provide a different perspective.

Freedom to do things can restrict the freedom of others. You're freedom to swing your fist ends before it reaches my face.
