Always.\n\nFreedom has its life in the hearts, the actions, the spirit of men and so it must be daily earned and refreshed - else like a flower cut from its life-giving roots, it will wither and die.  ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower

Your question was very thought provoking. I checked out the word liberated in the dictionary. Yes, I personally feel liberated. Let me explain my position. I am free to make choices in my life. My thoughts are free to think about any subject under the sun I choose. and I have the freedom to act on those thoughts, if I so chose to do so. I am not a slave to "Media's" ideal of what a woman should wear, think, do, want or strive to have. What is important to me is at the center of my world, like being the best person I personally can be, treating others the way I want to be treated. Education, that is learning about things which I do not know, so that I have no fear of them, other than perhaps a healthy respect to stay away from situations that may prove to be dangerous. \n\nI truly do not understand what the media is trying to say to women, we have always had a certain advantage over men. Such as being able to "marry", have children and never work outside the home a day in our life, while we let someone else go out and make a living, provide home, food and clothing and basic daily needs. If men do this they are labeled, women are not.\nI truly believe I am really free.Free from being subjected to \nthe media's idea of what being a woman is really all about.

Freedom is the only value I have, understand and will protect at any cost. I feel u share similar points of view to a life.\nThere is a freedom! Even a prisoner has got one if he wants to, your mind is free and one can stop u thinking until u're dead.

there freedom includes:  freedom to wiretap anybody, freedom to dictate your religious values, and of course freedom to attack anybody whose idealogy is different than their own!!!!

Depends on which side you are: if you are a slave to something (e.g.addiction) then it is "from".\nIf you are free, then you have freedom "for": anything, even for getting addicted :)

I am democrat. I believe in freedom! Plain and simple. America is about: Freedom! Choice! Rights!\n\nAll of these have been dwindled under republican rule. Yes, im a Christian, but I dont think that church and state should intermingle...separation of church and state is what this country was founded on, and i needs to stay like that to be solid.\n\nRepublicans think they can push THEIR morals onto other people...totally bypassing what america stands for...Independance!

Christianity is not about freedom. It is all about rules and forced belief. That is not freedom. If I cannot choose to be whatever I want - Jewish, Muslim, aethiest, or whatever - then you do not truly want freedom.\n\nIf you claim to want freedom, you must accept the freedom of someone else to kill you, even if that will mean they have removed your freedoms as a result. Freedom is paradoxical and you are a joker.

When you say why, I say why not?  If I truely believe in slavery, then I'd do it in a heart beat.  I'm sure there are things that you believe as true that others don't.  It was a culture thing.  You what I mean...Right?

Yes freedom is in Christ!!! The freedom he talks about is not worldly freedom but spiritual freedom. You see we were all born into sin, bound by it's temptation.Bound to it's will,but when Christ died upon the cross he paid for our freedom from eternal damnation.But it's by choice.\nWorldly freedom has taken a turn for the worst!!!\nPeople have forgotten what responsibility comes with freedom.

The search for freedom is a never ending battle because we are taught to look at freedom as a reaction to something.  Freedom of speech, freedom of thought, etc.  Freedom should be a state of mind and soul.  Like Zen.  Everyone should attempt to reach that state of mind, but this implies a lot of meditation and an aware counciousnes.

There is no such thing as "too much freedom." The ultimate freedom would be anarchy (where there is no law and we all kill and get killed without being accountable). \n\nNow the more practical answer.  No, we don't.  The fact is that the media only reports one side of the story.  We all have our opinions and others around us are influenced by our opinion.  Our poor have barely any means to become rich.  We are ignorant, and we are too stupid too know we are ignorant.  We have a ban on gay rights. Thus no, we don't have too much freedom.  We don't have freedom enough to be truly free from all bias, all dogma and all insanity.\n\nYet, we are as free as any other "nation" ever has been.  We are the innovators.  We are the geo-political leaders. We have the American Dream.  We have people willing to die to defend FREEDOM.  We have the leaders in all walks of life.  We are, the great, Americans.  We are as fr, if not more, as any civilization should be and and we are damn proud of it.\n\nGod bless America.

freedom means independence...\nthe ability to make choices for yourself...\nand freedom is far more important than any possession that is just given...\n\nNow think about what freedom means to you, and see what you come up with

Bringing god and religion into anything reduces your freedom. Being completely 'free' means being a free-thinker, being able to have your own ideas, and not following masses of people who are misled.\n\nQuestion everything. Don't believe everything you're told/read. Don't just be another mindless sheep in the flock.
