You have freedom to travel. If I loan you my car, I can tell you not to take it out of town, because it’s mine, you have no right to use it, and if I give you permission to use it I can tell you what you can and can’t do with it.

Insurrection

Terroristic threats

How did you respond to, "Why do you love me"?

Revenge porn

Conspiracy

Insider trading

What will the legacy of Jimmy Carter be in light of his death today at 100?

That’s what it is. You have no right to use other people’s stuff. If people let you use their stuff, they can tell you how you can use it, and they can tell you to stop using it any time they want.

If you’re wondering why free speech doesn’t apply to the internet, it’s because you have no right to use other people’s stuff for free.

No freedom is absolute.

I’m wondering about attachment and transference with the therapist and the idea of escape and fantasy? How much do you think your strong feelings, constant thoughts, desires to be with your therapist are a way to escape from your present life? I wonder if the transference serves another purpose than to show us our wounds and/or past experiences, but is a present coping strategy for managing what we don’t want to face (even if unconsciously) in the present—-current relationships, life circumstances, etc. Can anyone relate to this concept of escape in relation to their therapy relationship? How does this play out for you?

Perjury

Trade secrets

HIPAA violations

Why would the state lie about the Earth's shape? We know that it's flat, but why do they lie and tell us that it is a sphere?

You have freedom of speech. If I loan you my computer, I can tell you not to use it for certain things, because it’s mine, you have no right to use it, and if I give you permission to use it I can tell you what you can and can’t do with it.

And much, much more.

Revealing classified information

Are Americans really as uneducated and ignorant as portrayed in the media?

Fraud

Threats of violence

Are there girls here who like group sex?

False advertising

Child pornography
