I think our friend may be confusing licence with rights. They are not the same thing. (look them up)
Not sure what you mean 

OLB was arguing that if we allow one restriction then we allow an endless stream of restrictions on people's behavior. Then he argued people should be allowed to do immoral or distasteful things. My point was by his own logic allowing people to do immoral things opens up the same problem where do we draw the line? Ultimately the point was too much freedom can be just as bad as too many restrictions on it and too.

"Not sure what you mean "

That's why I suggested looking up the terms.


 A quick search found this:

"The dictionary defines freedom as the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint."


"Freedom includes taking responsibility for our lives. As long as it is compatible with the common good, people should be allowed to choose how they want to live. License, on the other hand, is the abandonment of all responsibility. It is carte blanche to do as we wish. It is incompatible with virtue and destroys community."
