Let's test "FREEDOM": How many here feel FREE,....

[Just Me]

,...to reveal their identities?

*not me*

How many of us believe that exposing our identities would lead to oppression/suppression/punishment?

*hand raised*

[whistle]

1. Hand up

[GetTheRightVote]

2. Hand way, way up to the universal around us and further

I believe * and admin would harm us if need be in their opinion of course, very dangerous people with no hope of truth or honesty ....

:kick:

[Just Me]

4. Yep. But,...how many will attest to NO FREEDOM?

They have found an escape in this place.

They are not FREE though.

3. We don't have to reveal anything. If any of the neocons care to know,

they already have all the information they want. Every time you use a credit card you've added all kinds of information to the databases.

[Just Me]

6. *LOL* Ya' think?

GET OUTTA' HERE!!!

Geez :eyes: they've already mastered and polished "death by character-assassination" in a "Concentration Camp of the Mind" (perfected via the Hitler regime with his Nazi followers having permeated and perpetuated the control-freaks now in charge).

Give me a PM when you are able to express/communicate a piece of reality to humanity.

16. Guess I'm particularly dense tonight, your posts are going over my head.

19. I'm sorry if my post about "freedom" goes over your head.

Maybe, "freedom" is a "privilege for the privileged" that the rest of us have struggled at the bait of the privileged.

5. My identity is revealed.

If they want me, I'm easy to find.

I have a greeting ready for them, though.

But I get your point.

14. The beauty of having a very common name.

[stillcool]

7. I'm only visiting.....kind of like i only had one beer.

[Just Me]

11. What does that mean?

"I'm only visiting.....kind of like i only had one beer."

[stillcool]

12. That is what you say when you get caught.

How many will feel free to reveal themselves? Survival is a strange beast and when threatened i know my past reactions, and tend to think i might behave the same.

[Just Me]

13. Yup. BUT,...there are the most calculative, manipulative among us.

Our failure to acknowledge those crafty predators,...is unacceptable.

[stillcool]

15. I think i see where your coming from....but its the very

nature of anonymity that breathes life into forums such as this. While there are many things i would not dare say here, there are many more i would not say at the local store. i have been decieved many times in my life, and each instance was a blow to my sense of self and reality. Protection is a learned defense, that i have yet to master.

[Just Me]

18. So, are you saying you have NO FREEDOM,...or doin' a yadadadada? n/t

[stillcool]

20. ....i am saying....

that freedom by definition is from something, no? and in this scenario free from retribution for expressing ones thoughts, words, or ideas? and no i am not, nor have i ever been free from consequences for my thoughts, words, actions.

8. There was a thread, here, inviting photos,...

,...which I observed.

There were "participants",...which I observed.

I take a stand for those of us who value our privacy!!!!

[leftofthedial]

9. not free, hand up

[jdj]

17. well, I don't think it will protect me from the gov't, I am sure I

am on the please hassle list at airports.

but I do feel it will protect me from freepers, somewhat.

[LeftyMom]

21. I don't reveal my secret identity

because there are to many freaking weirdos and whackjobs in the world.

I was suprised last time I took a trip that I wasn't on the politically motivated body cavity search list yet. Actually, I see that as a bit of a failure on my part so I'm trying to be a more effective activist and generally bigger pain in the ass.

Edit: Well, two DUers know who I am. LeftyDad is one (almost no posts but he does have an account) and the other is a more experienced DUer who happens to know a relative of mine.

[Melynn]

22. Yeah, I don't reveal my identity either because of weirdos

you don't know is reading these threads. We do know some Freeper Creepers like to lurk/troll here. I don't need the hassle in my private life from those "people".

In so far as the government wanting to know who you are, the government can find you anytime they want, all they need is your IP address to track you down.
