Incorrect. This isn't about my feelings. This is about the definition of freedom, and how I am not expanding that definition onto an abstraction, then removing the reference to that abstraction and calling it the definition. Is that more clear?

Here is an example:
Freedom from necessity would mean a guarantee of a minimal standard of living to all.
Freedom does not include a guarantee of a strong minimal standard of living to all.

You think the Danes are wrong then? That your definition of freedom is better than theirs?

Be careful here. Mild trolling is tolerated here, if the content has redeeming value. But if you're just trying to stoke a semantic argument (one greater than the one that, largely because of you, has already be burning in this thread) I may decide to intervene. To some degree, it matters how entertaining you are.

What? At least I'm an honest mod.

Fair point - and it turns out I was the one misread the quote so a lot of heat but little light generated. I'll leave your thread in peace - if there is a way to delete the bits between me and myrkul without excessive work on your part go for it.
