Message | Can you please explain why you think that religious freedom, the freedom to control your own thoughts and actions, is somehow not liberty? I do not know where you are from, but where I am we believe in true liberty, as defined by the United States' Constitution. |

Message | If you mean where I am from as in the Rosh HaMedina Syd Suibhne, I am from Paja', Ylrith. We have reprosentatives from every region though and have members born all around Cildania. Some of us are even born in other nations around Terra. We tried to do research on this "United States" thing and could not find any region close to that name around Terra. Perhaps you meant the United Kerissian Socialist Republic? |
