    Indeed.

    I didn't say it had to be either or I asked which is more important to work toward.

    So to expand would you suggest that in this "systemically" racist country there is equality between me and LeBron James?

    There we go again with the “freedom” rant, like ever winger memorized one scene from BraveHeart. Can’t go to the buffet, have to stop at a stop sign, can’t light up indoors, might have to wear a mask, can’t do that, against my “freedom”

    As I said before, only the wingers can take an abstract concept and reduce it to a bumper sticker.

    Freedom is based upon reason, not desire

    Reading comprehension problems? WTF do you think
    True freedom can only happen when everyone is treated equally and by human nature that will never happen nor should it.

    What buffet? What the fuck are you babbling about?

    It's not an abstract bits quite clear you're more worried about having enough woman CEOs then you are about freedom. What I love his how comfortable you fucking goosestepers are with controlling other peoples lives but you really fucking hate it when it's tried on you.

    Freedom is a desire shit stain.

    I am talking about your total lack of understanding regarding the concept of freedom, what it is, how it relates, and where it is applicable in current conditions

    And your inane comment “freedom is a desire” proves my point

    The concept is clear people don't want to be slaves. That's a desire assshole. I am not free to do what LeBron James does in this "systemically" racist country. You will always be a cancerous tumor.

    Oh, so tell us, why isn’t everyone who has a beef against say their boss allowed to just blow away their boss, don’t they have the “freedom,” the “desire?”

    Again, freedom is based on reason, not desire

    What do you mean "allowed"???? Blow your boss away if you like. The problem with you doing it is that you take something that doesn't belong to you, his freedom to life. When I own a restaurant and the govt tells me I can't smoke in my restaurant they are taking what isn't there's to take,nmy freedom to run my restaurant. No one is forced to eat in my restaurant therefore no needs protection from the smoke in my restaurant. You will take people's freedoms in the name of safety, it's bullshit

    Sorry sweet pee, I'm a conservative. You asked a philosophical question and I answered it. If you are so worried about things like affirmative action then have the fucking balls to ask it, instead of trying to ambush someone.

    I do t give a fuck what you are. Assholes will cry there aren't enough woman CEOs,. Thats a demand for equality of outcomes not equality. Affirmative action is racist and has nothing to do with freedom or equality.

    It's very simple when the left bitches whine there aren't enough woman CEOs that's equality of outcomes. When they say there is no freedom without "equality" that's what they are talking about. It's bullshit. Freedom is FAR more important than "equality".
