Surveys ? Surely you jest. You just don't get it, even now I enjoy more freedom than most. The "law" means nothing to me here. Sure I went out of my element last year and got caught, but here I never will. The neighbors will never call on me unless they think I am in trouble, and when they do, the cops will not even set foot on my property without invitation. This is not what other people have and it did not come from a stupid attitude. It came from cultivating relationships from decades ago. This is the closest I can get. They will not come. I am safer than Randy Weaver.
I could talk about your negative perception of society and authority but it would be water off a duck's back, which is OK - you have your opinions!

But you see that is not good enough for me. Everyone should be lke that. You need a permit for a block party, it happens here when too many people show up. I have been discouraging that because I don't have all that much fridge space for the beer. What's more weed and other shit is expensive these days, so BYOB, BYO a bunch of other shit. My roomie and I invited ourselves over to a buddy's house for ribs a couple Saturdays ago. Crank up the tunes, he said he couldn't, the cops would come.
You're probably suffering from over-sensitive neighbours. BTW how come you don't have enough space in your fridge for beer? You're starting to sound like a healthy bastard not even eating sugar (!), which doesn't fit the fuck you kill 'em all Termy type attitude!

Not here. If my neighbors get annoyed with the sound they will come here and say so and I will turn down or find some other way to have them get less sound. We cooperate. Everybody is in the neighborhood watch, and when Bonnie and Clyde were here the cops almost never came despite the parade of fucking crack dealers, which I am happy to be rid of. They would not call, they did not call on Andy shooting off his gun, nor on me when I shot mine. And these were not light loads. In other neighborhoods there would be two fucking SWAT teams.
You work well within a small community so it may not be impossible to eventually reconcile yourself with the broader society but let me be blunt, I'm not going to hold my breath! [:D]

Not here. And this is nowhere near the freedom I had in the past. I threatened and coersed, I got my way. There are no living witnesses ever against me, but I was effecitve enough I never had to really do it. I convinced them. They knew who the fuck I was. You know what that is. You have seen movies. But I have seen it for real, and just not for me. This is how I was taught.
And you are probably going to say that I sound proud of it, but nothing could be further from the truth.
You want to look up my record ? I can facilitate that, or tell you, whichever. But understand, on that record only one on twenty charges appear, and out of them, only about one in alot more were ever charged.
That's OK Termy... lol

But that was really freedom. The law wouldn't touch me, I had money if I ever did get arrested. So what it was a hundred times, 90% of that is just gone and don't forget I lived the rest of those days as well. NOBODY went against me. Not in this fucking town.
I KNOW it was wrong, but that was real freedom. I could do just about anything. Anything at all. In a way real freedom like that is wrong, because in having that I violated the rights of other people. It was WRONG, and I know it. But that is the way it was.
Your idea of freedom is fine on an island with a population of one but I think you have the wrong idea about freedom in a society. However, that is way out of reach for the topic so its an issue for another debate on another thread.
