jmu1's Journal: Whining... of others this time

I have a different view than most people do. I have a vision of personal freedom that is not shared apparently with nearly most of the /. crowd. I believe in freedom at the cost of convenience(if need be). As has been made abundantly clear, that is not the way I _should_ think. I should be thinking that begging for everything to be done for me... for gratis is the way to go. I think that governmental regulation is wrong and that those bastards have no business sticking their nose in my affairs. I am not hurting anyone, therefore I should be left to do mine own thing. Here is where I have a problem. If I post an opinion on a story(which is what /. is here for... right?) I either get modded down or get blasted for being a troll or the post being flamebait. It is not intended to be such and the children who believe it to be so can just suck on their silver spoons and go crying to daddy that someone has an opposed opinion. I'm sure one day that will be regulated and legislated away too...
