MessageYou keep mentioning the potential abuse of freedom, but of we are not allowed abuse then are we truly free?

From Takanashi Clan
ToDebating the Gambling Regulation Act
MessageOn a purely philosophical ground, no one is truly free, for they are limited by the physical environment, and the nature of their own body. The same can be applied to a more sociological ground, although in which one is also bound by others, especially the very freedom of their own. If left unchecked, then the freedom of one individual might grow to harm the freedom of others, and on such circumstances, we assume this is not "truly free", as the Astredies Clan said.

Because of the inevitable conflict between individual freedom, we believe it is the rights for the authority to step in and regulate the freedom of all, to ensure that people enjoy their fair share of freedom, without sacrificing too much freedom and security, as well as long-term stability of the society.
