what does your freedom mean to you?

Rather to be hungry and free than well fed and caged.


I love my freedom.

I love my freedom too and would yes go hungry to keep it.

This part of my life I have been free to move anytime I feel like it. I would feel like a caged animal if I thought I could not move again.grin laugh
I've always asked this question.Are we really and truly free?

Yes I've heard that we have freedoms in our country that not many have.But I always ask that very same question anyway.
Hi Georgel.
I never thought of Jamaica being free. I suppose it is other than the corruption in government.
I hope you survived the Hurricane unscathed.
But then, it is a small country. I would guess that it takes a lot of incoming infrastructure to keep the balance.
I understand that your country has a major untapped oil reserves. It is a pity, that, may become obsolete in the near future.
I do love the freedoms here in the United States. I see it slipping every day now. I feel uncomfortable with that. But opportunity still exists here.
What is the employment rate there? How do people survive??
I agree totally Redex




Nothing like being free you are not answerable to no one.



In my present situation I feel so caged and stifled.


When u was on my own I never use to go out but living with my sister for this shirt time somehow I feel Luke a caged animal even though I am not be n shackles.

No we are not totally Free just a level of freedom where we can breathe


The first question we should ask ourselves is what is freedom?

We are free to work in our country free to purchase some foods from our earnings free to breathe but is that's all that freedom is?



Free speech yes but not totally free in all areas.
Yes Georgie. I feel that a definition of freedom needs to be assigned.
That is an interesting mind thought of itself!
Not just that dear but they were jailed for not having DOMPAS!It was horrible those days but now we are free to do what ever we want with out fear! Imagine 9months preg woman walking on street alone at night because she don't have a pas!
Georgie
My freedom is everything.

Remain humble. Smile and remember God will not take you anywhere his grace cannot sustain you.
I watched an lnteresting programme over the weekend about the poverty
That ls still ln Ethiopia.
People were asked about their life and the struggle and an lrish Priest was
Interviewed and his take on lt was that for The local people their ldea of
Poverty was not having somebody to share what little they had (with).

It ls all what you make of lt angel thumbs up
I am so happy that the storm feared your area. I saw where it unleashed its anger in other areas.
I was on a blog earlier that discussed government protocall. I was hoping more people joined in on it by now.
Let us try to find an acceptable definition of the word freedom.
Freedom of travel.
Freedom of speech.
Freedom to work.
That is a start.
Thank you prof.


Well said yay
LAK. I have read the history of your area extensively. Mainly by Dutch authors. It would be interesting to read another perspective.
What a mess your country was for awhile. From what I understand, it still is. Perhaps reversed. Thinking of the conservation of land act. I know that is not what it is called, but something on those lines.
I have never cared for proposing limitations on any level. Nor on any one.
I would love to travel and to interview many intellectuals. That would be interesting. I wish I could write it down in a logical form.
Man



No matter how yard IR bad our situation is some people are having worse. And those comments were priceless and selfless.



A man said he wish that he had shoes another man stated that he wish he had feet .

Now who was in a better position ?
Man. I corresponded and skyped with a woman in Madagascar.
Now, that really opened my eyes.
I am a pretty rough man. But! that shook me.
Very hood start chev.



Freedom of speech .


Freefom to work and financial benefits



In this world most benefits goes to the upper class communities.

As long as you ate qualified no opportunity should be limited to you.


So often I see that .


Especially where you are coming from .


I think your opportunity should be base on your qualification and not links.
Spell check chev....... Very good it should have been.
LA


That strange does he knows Afrikaans?


Unless the job calls for different languages English is the norm.
No problem George. I understood every word. And really, is that not what it is all about with spelling. My point is, to get my point across.
I am a really terrible speller. No joke.
But, that being stated. I know men, they are dyeing out yes, but still sign their name with an x. And, they are very successful. Financially speaking.
I would really like to see a real change in our worlds perception of the status Que.
Too many people at the top. I am not sure I can hold up their weight much longer. And the young people. How I pity them.
I am so glad you stood up to him LAK. Facing the nemesis. We all have them. They control our perceptions, and hold people back from achieving the best that they can give.
The mind set of people that follow dictates from the psychopaths in control. It just amazes me.
It always shocks me when I see people in power disrespect the people they are supposed to serve. It is like, "turn off brain, follow orders, and take home check". Just crazy.
Georgie39! nobody total free can be! Well fed better so. drinking
And besides I have absolutely no idea what hunger is, neither does anyone else here, and that's why we're so verbally libertine even if not in practice. If we knew what hunger was, the level of hunger which kills, we wouldn't place so much importance on being free.

We're privileged to never know what true hunger is and it's from this position of privilege that we place so much importance on liberty. To know hunger would completely change what and who we are.
I involuntarily trade-in a lot of freedoms at birth for the right to live in a civilisation. A lot of Blacks need to figure out and many Americans needs to remember that they can't do whatever they want because of civilisation.
Blacks, Americans and especially Black Americans - curb the obsession with your own behaviour and be grateful to civilisation which gives so much and asks for only a modest sacrifice from your individual liberty.
The worst instincts of the free are a threat to everything we know and care for. Freedom is extremely dangerous when it's possessed by those with no sense of responsibility to other people and to generations past, present and future. Freedom will tear down an individualistic society where no individual can get over himself.

And we need limits on freedom which extend outside the law - there should be social pressure from the community to stay in-shape and work at relationships etc and a headmaster's duty should not include appointing an armed garrison to defend his school because it's your freedom to walk around armed to the teeth.
