Is it the lack of rules and regulations that gives us freedom or do the rules and regulations give us more freedom.

I think it's having these rules and regulations that infact give us more freedom. (Though I'm sure if you asked an anarchist, they'd say different ) The way I see it is, that it's because of these rules that I am free to walk safely down the street (for the most part anyway, I know there are still muggings, rapings, murders, etc.) without worry, whereas, IMO, if these rules were not in place our cities would be overrun by people who would otherwise be in jail.Lightkeeper said:Is it the lack of rules and regulations that gives us freedom or do the rules and regulations give us more freedom.

But in such a case, I would not be free of fear, nor would I be free to walk the streets safely, so therefore, I would not have the freedom to do whatever I like, as I would like my family and I to have the freedom to not fear leaving our houses. To me, this seems I would have less freedom and those who would rather disobey the laws our countries have set forth would then have more freedom. But still, I think I would have less freedom.Fluffy said:The purpose of rules and regulations is control. Therefore, the less of them you have, the more freedom you will experience. Your example, C1, of people overruning cities who should be in jail is an example of more freedom not less. Everyone has the freedom to do whatever they like.
Actually, freedoms are an expression of recognized innate rights in law. In organizations rules tend to maintain order and curtail freedomsLightkeeper said:Is it the lack of rules and regulations that gives us freedom or do the rules and regulations give us more freedom.
