17. Hmmm...
- Freedom of Speech
Yelling "Fire" in a crowded theater?
- Freedom of Association
Don't we limit, for example, certain known criminals' ability to freely associate with each other?
- Freedom of Religion
Ritual human sacrifice?
- Freedom of Sexual Lifestyle
NAMBLA?

20. Your examples are limitations because they infringe on another person's freedom.

54. No. Wrong.
I want to voluntarily submit myself for ritual human sacrifice. I'm not allowed to do that, and the high priest will end up in jail for the rest of his life after plunging the knife in my chest. Who's rights have been infringed upon?
The 14 year old boy next door REALLY wants to be my homosexual lover for the last days of my life before the sacrifice, but he is not legally allowed to. Who's rights have been infringed upon?
Things are not always as simple as they seem, and I think the OP should turn in his Democratic Party membership card at the front desk.

18. Actually, JFK Stated the Democratic Party had 3 Pillars:
Education for Our Children
Employment for Our People
Security for Our Elders
Those are the fundamental underpinnings of the party.

23. Children can have education but not security?
Its OK if they are physcially ill, and malnourished, as long as they are in school?

41. I am able to read. And unlike this post I am replying to, I didn't find it necessary to swear and harangue.
If you want to calmly discuss it, let me know.
Otherwise, the tone is obviously not one of discussion, but uproar.
You have a good evening.

43. The question was serious, and you can drop the "tone" stuff.
You managed to twist the words of JFK quoted here to mean that either JFK, mckara, or someone else here believed that every other problem suffered by children was excusable as long as they were in school. That is an incredible and ridiculous feat, and it received the proper response. If you care to explain how you arrived at such a twisted interpretation of those words above, feel free. If you'd rather spend your time dropping into threads to chide and infuriate wherever you can, then I guess I'll see you later.

58. Does that include...
Freedom of speech for everybody?
Like...people we don't agree with? Or is it just for people whose views we share? I can't even count how many times I've seen people here think they have a right to "shut up" RWers or Teabaggers or anybody else with whom they disagree...even other DUers.
Or they go into a public place and demand that the TV channel be changed, apparently thinking they have the right to censor what everyone else sees.
Yes, they have the freedom to say, "I don't agree with Fox News" but they don't have the right to censor what other people can see in a public place.
How many here call themselves "Democrats" and believe in the concept of Free Speech, but have trouble with the reality of it?

The real three pillars of the democrat party are lie, cheat, and steal. OPf course the totalitarians of the left change the names about every five years.
