‘Now America is filled with people like you, which has spoiled the last 35 years of my life.”
Judging from your attitude I am glad I can ruin your day even though it doesn’t appear to take much. However I love freedom and have fought for it.
Acting irresponsibly is not ‘freedom’ it is irresponsible. A basis for freedom requires honor, integrity and a duty to those around you. Freedom does not mean you can do anything and everything you want whenever you want. That is anarchy.
BTW, letting others dictate your level of happiness and “ruin” 35 years of your life indicates you have made some very poor decisions.
If you knew what my attitude is, you could judge from it. You don’t, so you can’t.
“Acting irresponsibly is not freedom it is irresponsible.”
Freedom means, so long as you do not physically harm or threaten to harm anyone else or their property, you can be as irresponsible as you like. Sorry so many people think freedom means everybody has to live the way they would like them to.
“Duty to those around you,” is socialism. Sorry, there is no such duty in a free country.
When I was young, no decent person would ever have used a disgusting expression like that. But then, people weren’t afraid of freedom, or of being totally responsible for themselves and their own lives. The idea in those days was, nobody owed you anything and you made it on your own, or didn’t make it.
I really do not think you know what freedom is, and I really think you would be afraid to live in a country that is truly free. I don’t blame you for that, but it is sad. By the way, my “happiness” is not determined by circumstances, and I wish you the happiness I enjoy, in my freedom, because my freedom does not depend on circumstances either. Circumstances and today’s oppressive government just make it more difficult.
