Is that your statement?  Because its incorrect.  I've already had my say.  You're an idiot with internet access.  One of the worse kinds.

Being against gun laws isn't a contradiction to freedom, you have the freedom to choose whether to be against them or not at the first place.

Finally someone who gets it.

No. You're not really freedom-loving if you're pro banning anything, especially not the only thing that can protect you from naked brute force from the state.

A foreigner said this about the FRA law on a Swedish board: "You Swedes don't love freedom, and thus you will never breathe it." He was right.

You know my views on FRA, I believe. As for defining freedom, you're not in the position to do so. Either you accept and support the rights of others around you, regardless of their nationality, race. and political or religious conviction, or you remain a hypocrite.

Sure they have their rights, but I don't have to like them as people. And as long as we have a state, they come here on other people's expense, no matter if you're a racist or not.

I think came from Russia to begin with.  :P

Damned, if I had only known about the license free shotguns in Norway when they were still available.

Well, I'll find out something else.

Last night I met a true Liberal politician. He is actually totally candid - was brilliant to listen to (and then go drinking with). Lit I think you would especially love him

Yeah - which is doubly funny. Though what I like about him is that in front of an audience he is unbelievably candid. "I want to legalise all drugs in Britain" "The only reason I am not president of the Lib Dems is because of the establishment" and so on - tbh the better bits were his anecdotes, but I sure as hell cba to type them up.

Two words: passive-aggressive.

One and a half, at most, since you're using a hyphen. Semantically speaking, "passive-aggressive" should be regarded as one word.

Your attempts at perverting the meaning of the word "liberal" is a separate discussion, however, and one that I have no interest in pursuing since your basic premise includes the use of force to "be free".

We DID have to use force to be free...
