We may have different points of view but can we still be friends?

They're both anti-authority too

I can't smoke weed though

You can't smoke weed?

I can't smoke. It burns my throat so I refuse to do it and I can't do what I refuse to do.

This is why I support universal healthcare. I'm fine sacrificing some liberty if it means that poor people won't die or go bankrupt because life dealt them a bad hand.

I agree that that is just. But I guess I don't consider the 'freedom' to have more than others so they are worse off and less free than yourself to be a freedom. I consider freedom to be an entirely good thing so if that freedom hurts others it's not good anymore so it's not freedom anymore. I definitely reserve the word "freedom" for good things. Like freedom of speech, freedom of property, etc. Freedom to violate or harm isn't something I'd call freedom.

I mean, sure, one way of looking at it is that technically it's freedom because there are good freedoms and bad freedoms. But then again, if you're violating the freedom of others with your freedom, is being pro that really pro freedom?

So, I wouldn't say that being against the freedom to harm or violate the freedom of others makes me any less liberal. After all, when you violate the freedom of others you may be promoting your freedom but you're violating theirs... so how would that be pro freedom?
