Freedom and Liberty
Do the words 'freedom' and 'liberty' mean not being persecuted or discriminated against, or do they mean doing whatever you please?
I think a person should have the right to do whatever they like, as long as that doesn't infringe on the rights of anyone else. It is discrimination when the rights of any group are given precedence over another.

Freedom: The power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint.
I'm pretty sure it's not the latter, but rather, the former. If everyone did what they pleased, it would be quite a chaotic country, would it not? I'm pretty sure the Founding Fathers did not envision a country with no rules or regulations. By using the terms "freedom" and "liberty," they saw a country where idealistic hopefuls could go to find a new beginning free from oppression and judgement. This country is built on equality in mind.
Edit: And that's freedom for ALL by the way. That includes the homophobes, racists, and radical extremists in general even if they piss the majority off; they have the right of freedom just like you and I. Welcome to America!
Oh boy, here we go.

Then stop trying so hard, because it's making you look like one.

Sociology and Theory of Knowledge classes exist, you know.
Hell this can even come up in an American History / Social Studies class.
I'm not doing your homework.
Such an easy question, anyway.
