Constraining my movement with respect to your lawn is putting a constraint on my freedom. Beating me up neither constrains my freedom nor encourages it, it's just you being violent.
It's also silly to say the US is founded on "freedom" when that word is uselessly vague.
- EpicEng 12y agoI didn't say that the US was "founded on freedom", but the idea of certain freedoms were very much a part of its inception. Regardless, I don't think you actually defended anything you said. My ability to own private property constrains your freedom in the same way that my mere physical existence constrains your freedom of occupying the same physical space as me. It's all a bunch of psuedo-intellectual, hypothetical nonsense.
