Economic Recession

So you're all for having freedom, but you won't fight to preserve it? How shameful.

Shameful or not, he has the freedom to not do so and express it. That's the beauty of it, as they say. Personally, I believe freedom shouldn't be something you have to fight for. We all have free will. However, when authority figures try to change that, they can only get as far as you're willing to let them. Actually, if he dies living for freedom because he goes against how one may try to restrict him, then essentially he was fighting for freedom and died for it. Thus, freedom is the freedom to not fight for freedom and peacefully dying in the name of freedom translates to fighting for freedom by the definition of fighting for a cause, and there is no way to die shamefully living for freedom.

Hmm. I had a very similar sentiment going through my head throughout this mini-subject, but I held off from saying it because I felt it would come out as an almost mocking comment (knowing my use of words, this is almost a guarantee). Interesting to see that someone else would think this, and that it could be put into unoffensive words.

Doesn't matter. Each person's opinion will screen anything they see or hear to match what they want it to be. I'll scan it to see a full agreement with my mindset, others may see it as defending the guilty, others still may see it as a view from the other side, but not a convincing argument. Still, though. Nice to see what seems like a middle ground point of view.

66 cents. Fuuuuck.
And I know it's probably wrong of me to update about my meaningless currency in the middle of a more important conversation.
I'm sorry.

Yeah, you shouldn't tell us how your economy is in a thread about economic recession.

The pound is currently at $1.73. Just 27 cents more and we're cruisin'.

You know it's getting bad when the Canadian dollar outdoes the American dollar.

Where can I check how much one euro is?
