Question by Wolf reborn: what makes Americans think they have more freedom?
I have visited Finland more than once in my life i have also visited a few other nations as well and I’ve realized that although they don’t have a bill of rights saying they have the same rights as Americans more often than not they have more freedoms, I am now becoming a legal citizen of Finland or rather I’m becoming a full citizen(i have no idea whether i ever had dual citizenship or not) and I enjoy many of the same freedoms as any american plus many more.
where do Americans get the idea that they have the most freedom?

‘Freedom in the BOX’ a Viewpoint on the Systems that Think they Control us
Las Vegas, NM (PRWEB) December 23, 2005
Author Allen Witters has written “Freedom in the BOX”, a viewpoint on how today’s society of political, religious and education entities do everything they can to control you. The most valuable resource is you, but to the Control Systems you are nothing but a renewable resource for money, intellect, time, labor, you are an item to be possessed and owned.
“Freedom in the BOX” will show the reader how these Control Systems for thousands of years have manipulated mankind for their own benefit and kept him/her in the BOX. These systems have become a virtual prison that makes all kinds of promises, but only takes.
Through years and years of teaching, generation to generation, these non-human entities have now taken on a persona of their own; they are larger than life, more important than life and only look out for their benefit and growth. Religion, politics and the education Control Systems are all working together to keep you in the BOX. All are managed in collusion with an elite class of people tending to the Control System’s needs.
If you like religion, you will hate this book. If you love politics, you will hate this book. If you love the education system, you will hate this book. If you love freedom, you will love this book.
Allen Witters wrote “Freedom in the BOX” to help himself, and other independently thinking persons, to understand what and why they are being controlled all the time. Why they only take about 5% of their own income/production for themselves and why everyone else demands the things they do. Being in the “land-of-the-free” only means you are free as long as you stay in the BOX and give yourself to the Control Systems.

Question by Mila: What do you think national security is?
I believe national security is the right of a nation to secure any resources in another country, they need to “survive”. Whether they have enough in their own country or not!

Answer by shmifty_14 I think you are stupid. What gives a nation the right to take something they need to “survive” especially if it isn’t in their country?
Question by oohhbother: How much damage do you think this Wikileak will do to our national security?

Question by kr_811: Conservatives, do you think freedom of religion only applies to Christianity?
My pastor (who is obviously Conservative) had a two week series on the evils of Islam. He was completely misinformed about the whole religion because said that every Muslim in America is either an terrorist or agrees with the terrorists but is too afraid to be a terrorist. He concluded that Islam should not be allowed in America.
What happened to freedom of religion? This right according to the Conservative way?
P.S. One of my closest friends is Muslim and he can’t stand what terrorist are doing.
Some nuts think religion is useless: God is non-existence! But it is the only explanation for your being!
Some nuts think that religion is useless and bad. They proclaim that God does not exist and He is the invention of humans of a Big Someone. No proof for God and no one can see God, therefore, for such imbeciles, God does not exist.
But these confirmed imbeciles forget that without religion there is no other explanation for our life and our death, our lifecycle, for the purpose of human being, for good and evil. There is no other explanation for living and suffering, for living and rejoicing, for desperation and hope.
Without religion how can we have a moral code in accordance with the nature of human being, in accordance with what the creator of man has designed and prescribed for him? How can we understand the object of being, growing, ageing and dying? How can we comprehend our task and modulate our lives accordingly?
But religion is only an invitation for man. It is only an admonition for the human race. It is only a path indicator. Religion leaves for man the ultimate choice of belief and disbelief. It gives all dignity and value as well as freedom of will to man to decide for himself, to choose between the path of God or any other path, the devil for example.
Religion explains to mankind the meaning of their existence, it invites them to believe in God and do good with the consequences of a reckoning in another life where all shall be held responsible for their beliefs, or disbelief, for their good and evil. It tells humans that the power that has put their atoms together can redo it again, at pleasure.
It tells us of the purpose of God for creating humans and how He would try and test them. It tells us about the mystery of our existence and the existence of the universe, our role and our end. It tells us of who has created the universe and created all life manifestations that surrounds us.
It informs us of the good path and the evil one to follow. It tells us how to avoid the evil and bad action and how to perform the good one. It is the only way to avoid evil and do good.
But such an ignorant imbecile does rejects religion for religion was taken as a pretext for crime, murder and all sins, under the Christians, Inquisitions, Crusades. Christians fighting one another in Ireland. Muslims are accused with terrorism and killings.
Such an imbecile cites the cases of the 9/11 and the Bali suicide bombing of a discotheque killing Australian citizens and other westerners.
The accusation is badly taken and is a false accusation directed against religion. No religion teaches hatred and teaches crime and killing.
But being ignorant of religion and religious texts, such idiots assume that religion prescribes such crimes. While religion denies humans committing any crimes, of murder or theft.
The Law prescribes Ten Golden Commandments exactly to avoid any evil doing and promoting what is good. The Gospel is an invitation to all mankind to do good and shun evil. The Qur’anic text is but an admonition to mankind to do good and eschew evil with the consequences awaiting the sinners.
God, is the only deterrent factor in the life of man to do good and avoid evil. If God is not there then man does what he wants. No moral codes, no laws of conduct, no deterrents, and everyone is free to do what he likes, at pleasure.
It is exactly because of this there so many belief systems and so many deities and so many paths to sin and do wrong, so many paths to take and so many deities to worship. Man is given the mind and the freedom to choose for himself and then he shall be held to account for his, or her, own deeds. He is given a short and transitory lifetime and then his return to the creator that has put his atoms together.
If there is no God then every human being is free to kill, murder, massacre, steal and lead his life according to his animal drives. Throughout history we have ample examples of such criminality.
Look at what Napoleon has does of humanity offering sacrifices at the altar of his personal glory, Caligula, Nero, Alexander the Great before them, Hitler, Mussolini, Paul Pot, Stalin, Mao, in our time, only last century, have done to humanity for they were disbelievers atheists, like those imbeciles who are against religion and deny God, they are responsible for the massacre of millions and criminality against humanity. Look at Ben laden what he has done of criminal acts against humanity, and his team of hard and professional religious mafia sowing terror in the world.
But religion is not responsible but those who deny religion and deny God that are responsible. The crusades in the Dark Ages and terrorist acts in our time, are performed by psychopath and distorted criminals that identify themselves with religion, whether Islam, Christianity of Judaism.
Humans take anything as a pretext for their evil doing, to justify massacre, crime, murder and destruction. Humans take any pretext to justify their dominance, power and control over others, individuals or states and people suffer always at their hands.
Such arrogant and ignorant idiots who reject religion and disbelieve in God have no idea of why they are there and cannot possibly explain there own existence except in terms of the absurd and the inutile.
How would such imbeciles, like Hawking and Darwin, explain their own being and the existence of the universe if there is no God to ordain things?
But man is an ungrateful bastard to his own creator!
This debate took place on September 26, 2009, in Newberg, Oregon, between Dan Barker of the Freedom From Religion Foundation and James White of Alpha and Omega Ministries.
21 GOOD REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD THINK ABOUT ALTERNATIVE OR SECOND CITIZENSHIP AND PASSPORT:
1. Political or economic siituation in your home country makes travel on your current passport difficult. 2. Your assets are the target of litigation or you are burdened by taxation. 3. Your basic human rights or travel is restricted by your citizenship. 4. You are not allowed to work, do business, buy property or land overseas or settle in another country. 5. Your assets, freedom of movement and even life are threatened by your country’s economical or political situation. 6. You are subject to persecution for your religious or political beliefs or for pursuing certain harmless activities. 7. Your current citizesnhip and passport can make you exposed for hijackers and terrorists. 8. Your current passport could be revoked, confiscated or suspended for some reasons. 9. You can be a subject to tax on your worldwide income, currency controls or other confiscation measures. 10. Your state controls, restricts or monitors your travels or private or business activities. 11. Your present passport causes you delays, harassment or denies at any border. 12. You need visas to visit places where you want to go or stay. 13. Your citizenship forces you into unwanted military or other burden obligations. 14. You are identified as a citizen of an unpopular, immoral, aggressive or despotic state. 15. Your passport needs to be renewed or validated frequently. 16. Limited freedom to invest your money when and where you please. 17. You belong to the “wrong” country, like ex-Yogoslavia, Iraq, Iran, North Korea etc. 18. You cannot invest in the foreign stock markets or offshore mutual funds without restriction or hindrance. 19. You would like to insure a freedom of movement, residence, business of choice for yourself, your dependants etc. 20. You simply would like to open a new opportunities and guarantee a certain freedom and choice for yourself or your dependants. 21. You just would like to have a right for employment in another country which is not available now or perimtion is difficult to obtain.
There, of course, can be other reasons to gain another passport. You may possibly have a passport from a country that has travel restrictions imposed upon it, and this can be frustrating to say the least. For example: * Many Chinese are desperately looking for a way to get out of their country, and/or to ease travel restrictions.
* Many US citizens do not like the idea of being enslaved to the IRS worldwide, regardless where they may choose to live. Also they may not like being targeted by terrorists because of irresponsible actions by their immature government.
* Many Western Europeans feel, that during these turbulent times, it may be a good idea to nurture their plans for an additional insurance policy against difficult times ahead.
* Many Russians and Eastern Europeans are tired of having to queue to get visas all the time, and being treated as second class individuals by many, just because of their nationality.
* Many Africans and Latin Americans have tasted a bit of freedom but it doesn’t seem like they are free all the time as crazy governments and extreme travel restrictions make it very hard to get around.
You may qualify to obtain your documents free through ethnic background, ancestry or religion in; Brazil, China, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America etc. Another way is to get an alternative passport by registration, by descent, via marriage or naturalisation.
In some countries you can be eligible for your 2nd passport in just 6 months after residence application and there is no need to physically spend this time in the country!
There is an option for a 2nd passport and citizesnhip virtually for everyone who is seriously interested.
GREEDY LIBERALS AND GENEROUS CONSERVATIVES
By Rick Roberts
I want Conservatives and Christians to NOT give to charities this Christmas. That’s right! I want Conservatives and Christians to stop donating… but with ONE exception:Anything to help the military is fine!I’ve given this a lot of thought, and I believe that the right thing to do this Christmas is NOT to give…Don’t give to Father Joe. Don’t give to the Salvation Army. Don’t give to homeless shelters. Just don’t give. Now, many of you may already be cutting back on your giving this year… And you maybe feeling guilty about it.But I’m here to tell you… DROP THE GUILT. You ARE doing the right thing by not giving. Do not feel guilty about keeping your money for you and yours.Now, here’s why I’m asking Christians and Conservatives NOT to give this holiday:I’m just trying to wake people up. I’m not trying to be mean, or heartless, or cruel. I’m just trying to get people to open their eyes. When you get hit up for charities this Christmas Season, MOST of that money goes into either:A) The pockets of people who run the charities, or:B) Drug addicts and deadbeats on welfare who have done nothing to contribute to their own lives, let alone society.When you think of that bell ringing outside the department store, I want you to think of the soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan who sacrificed everything for your freedom…And think of all those men and women coming home without limbs, with shrapnel in their bodies who have seen their friends die in the battlefield.And then I want you to compare that sacrifice to the bum sitting on the roadside. I want you to think of Rosie O’Donnell, Sean Penn, and all the other pompous Hollywood actors who call you names just for being a conservative. You know, the ones who slam our troops at every opportunity. The ones who accuse them of evil. The ones who accuse President Bush of being Hitler and accuse our troops of committing genocide and random acts of violence. My take on giving is this: Give to those who have actually done something for this country and NOT to the ingrates who are nothing more than a leech on our great nation.And if that, for whatever reason, just doesn’t make sense to you, how about this:GIVE TO YOUR OWN FAMILY. The economy is a drag. People are down on their luck. But not everyone gives up and buries their sorrows in a bottle. Some people actually work harder, try harder, study harder… Give to these people. Help those who are trying to help themselves.Besides… Obama will soon come to the welfare crowd’s defense. Which brings me to my third reason not to give to charities this holiday season: Politics.You are going to wish you kept some of your money for yourself and your loved ones come tax season. That’s when our new President’s uber-welfare state is going to kick in…So you may as well start an Obama savings account now so that the welfare mom can have her new plasma TV.If you need another reason why Christians and Conservatives should stop giving, here it is:I’ve had ENOUGH. Haven’t you?I’ve had enough of the liberals and their name-calling.I’ve had enough of the attacks on churches, Mormon temples and Jewish Synagogues. I’ve had enough of their hatred and spouting that our God doesn’t exist.Did you know that – even though liberal families’ income averages 6% higher than that of conservative families – conservative households give, on average, 30% more to charity than the household of the opposite politcal belief?• That’s $1,600 per year vs. $1,227.• Conservatives also donate more time and give more blood. • Residents of the states that voted for John Kerry in 2004 gave smaller percentages of their incomes to charity than did residents of states that voted for George Bush. • Bush carried 24 of the 25 states where charitable giving was above average. • In the 10 reddest states, in which Bush got more than 60 percent majorities, the average percentage of personal income donated to charity was 3.5. Residents of the bluest states, which gave Bush less than 40 percent, donated just 1.9 percent.• People who reject the idea that “government has a responsibility to reduce income inequality” give an average of four times more than people who accept that proposition. • And another good example of liberalism… In 2000 Vice President Al Gore’s charitable contributions, as a percentage of his income, were below the national average: He gave 0.2 percent of his family income, one-seventh of the average for donating households. But Gore “gave at the office.” He said he used his public office to give other peoples’ money to government programs and therefore he was being “charitable.” If Barack Obama wants to spread the wealth around, he needs to start digging in the pockets of the liberals. We’ve got to even out the playing field.Conservatives MUST stop being suckers. Seriously, just stop!Obama and the liberals need to start throwing all their support behind the drug addicts and bums on the street.Want to know where MY m
21 Good Reasons to Think About Alternative or Second Citizenship and Passport
Our world is changing dramatically and holding a passport of specific nation or country can be challenging if not dangerous nowadays and is definitely connected to some restrictions. Here is a brief list of such exposures:
1. Political or economic situation in your home country makes travel on your current passport difficult.
2. Your assets are the target of litigation or you are burdened by taxation.
3. Your basic human rights or travel is restricted by your citizenship.
4. You are not allowed to work, do business, buy property or land overseas or settle in another country.
5. Your assets, freedom of movement and even life are threatened by your country’s economical or political situation.
6. You are subject to persecution for your religious or political beliefs or for pursuing certain harmless activities.
7. Your current citizenship and passport can make you exposed for hijackers and terrorists.
8. Your current passport could be revoked, confiscated or suspended for some reasons.
9. You can be a subject to tax on your worldwide income, currency controls or other confiscation measures.
10. Your state controls, restricts or monitors your travels or private or business activities.
11. Your present passport causes you delays, harassment or denies at any border.
12. You need visas to visit places where you want to go or stay.
13. Your citizenship forces you into unwanted military or other burden obligations.
14. You are identified as a citizen of an unpopular, immoral, aggressive or despotic state.

With passport from one of the EU countries you are free to work, live and do business in any of the 27 member states of the European Union.
You may qualify to obtain your documents free through ethnic background, ancestry or religion in Brazil, China, Germany, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Portugal, Spain, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey, United Kingdom, United States of America etc.
