do you distinguish between the use of "freedom" and "liberty," and what is the difference (to you as a person. fuck dictionaries!)? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the same |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
liberty is the right to and the right to use freedoms. freedoms are personal erm..... liberties. fuck, don't ask me, i'm just an english major. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm... i guess "liberty" has a little bit more of a political connotation than freedom. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hmm.. ok. shope: political? can you elaborate somehow? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
I'd go with Liberty because I think GW Bush has rendered the word "freedom" into just some abstract sound through constant use. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i just don't think i hear the word "liberty" used outside of political discussions very much. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
and by abstract sound, he means "kill people." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hahah! yeah, that makes sense... |
||||||||
|
|

The son of a Bush. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, ok... so it's not necessarily implicit in the word, but more... contextual..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i think freedom is when you're free from things that can hold you down, like the man, and liberty is a statue... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"freedom from" vs "freedom to?" |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oh, no.. wait, I didn't get the link at first.. statue of liberty, of course. I thought you were speaking in some metaphor that I didn't bother to decipher, so I guessed. nevermind. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, for example. "i'm finally free from the man, and now i am free to go" (anythign else after that is irrelevant) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
They're the same. Plus what dog_belch said. |

I think they are two meaningless words invented to make people feel good about themselves and about their lives - from the time we are dependent upon our parents to feed us and clothe us as babies until the time we are dependent upon whoever it is who stuffs us in the ground or in an urn, we are always in bondage to someone or something. |

|
liberty = political use off word freedom = life |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
no words are meaningless.. they wouldn't be words then. are you still actively making music? |
||||||||
|

Your english is very good anyway. I'm jealous. |
