Message | UHM. OK. SERIOUSLY. What's the deal with the name Freedom? Is it ironic? Is it some kind of double-think joke? Because really, seriously, you cannot honestly see 80% of what you've ever proposed as "Freedom." I MEAN HONESTLY. Minors may not use streets or public property beyond the curfew time? You're imposing a curfew now? For freedom? The private sector can set up gated communities? That's for freedom too, right? Able-bodied prisoners have to work during the day. Because the freedom to choose is too much, they should have the Freedom to HAVE to work? WE WON'T EVEN MENTION Your old bizzare anti-freedom laws, calling for an end to homosexuals rights to adopt, an end to workers rights to strike... WE WON'T BRING UP THE FACT That Al'Badarans, by a majority, support prisoners being able to vote. Since they were imprisoned by the State, they are not REMOVED from society, they still have a valid voice and opinion. But I suppose, since there was no option "Only heterosexual prisoners can vote, after their mandated forced labor in the blistering sun for no wage" you chose the alternative? THIS IS MADNESS. THIS IS PERVERSION. If this is what passes for Freedom in Al'Badara, than we are proud to be rid of it. |
