SK's Independence Day Giveaway!!

[Ceegary]

I was raised in apartheid South Africa. We used to say we had three freedoms...1) The Freedom to think what we wanted... as long as it was what they told us to think. 2) The freedom of speech...as long as we said what they told us to say. And 3) The Freedom from freedom.

When I finally became a US citizen, I truly felt free.

Freedom: What it means to me...
this is a very hard question to answer ...

when I think about "freedom & all the freedoms "
we are ALL allowed here in the U.S.
... my thoughts seem to all circle back around to
the same basic point... which is "CHOICE"
we all have the freedom of choice.... to choose for ourselves

....whatever "that choice" may be .........

how awesome of you SK~!

Freedom to me is....it's...um, well....it's really hard to put into words~!

Freedom to me is not having to answer to anyone but yourself.

I love the freedom to make my own choice as far as vaping is concerned.

 

[librarising]

I love the freedom to pick my friends, pick my pvs and when it's necessary, to pick my nose!

BTW...Kitty, have I told you lately how much your rock???

As kid, Independence day was parades, bbqs, and fireworks. As an adult, I learned both sides of my family came over in the 1600's. Reading about my ancestors trials and difficulty gave me an incredible sense of pride to be an American and decended from those who fought valiantly for the freedom we enjoy today. Through the festivities may we never forget or take for granted that freedom does not come free.

Proud D.A.R.

That every child has the same chance as the others, that things that are outside of their control on the day of their birth will not hold them down to reaching their full potential.
Unfortunately, we dont have this yet.

Freedom means to me...

Well, after giving it some thought, it's the pure ideal to be able to do what I want, whenever I want, to whoever I want, whereever I want... pending that it's legal of course. Being able to watch people be themselves, or choicing what they want to do, even if I disagree or even downright hate what they're doing (ie, Westboro Baptist Church... yeah,) I'm glad that they at least have the Freedom to do such things.

Happy Days.

quick edit: I very much like the rules sk. See you tommorrow at 7:05pm.

About the rules... since I started the contest kinda late in the day yesterday, I was trying to make it easy on everyone by not having to wait exactly 24hrs. before you can enter again... just so long as you only do it ONCE each day...

For example: If you entered at 2pm on one day, you could enter at 10am the next day if you wanted to... but not again until after Midnight each day.
So if that has all of you totally confused I apologize, Do it however you wish... as long as it is only once a day... LOL!!

I am just tickled to see such a great response on the 1st day, and I am really enjoying reading all of your comments!! We still have almost 2 wks. to go, so there is plenty of time to get more entries in...

What freedom means to me? The freedom to do almost anything I want. To live my life how I see fit without backlash, assuming I'm not harming directly or indirectly someone else. And the freedom to find nearly anything I want on the Internet. And of course the freedom to vape!

 

[webbcm127]

Freedom means alot to me, being able to love freely, bear arms, choose religion, and make somthing of yourself if you work at it!-)

sk,
Freedom for me, means I can believe in whatever conspiracy theory I want. I can believe in the depths of my soul that all the major politicians are lizard people ruling over their minions (us). I can believe that the masons have determined the past 20+ presidents (except Kennedy, and you see what they did to him). I can believe that all the moon landings were staged from Hollywood and Nevada. I can believe all this stuff (if I choose) and no one will lock me up.

In fact, I can scream these truths to the masses on a sidewalk in my city, and people will give me their loose change.

edit: see you again at 12:01

One of my best friend's son is in the Airforce and he has been in Korea and Japan for the last eight years. To think so many of our young people are fighting for our freedom and protecting us is awe inspiring. So Freedom is very precious to me and means my son will grow up in a great country with the chance to be anything he puts his mind to!

 

[RippleInStillWater]

I love the freedom that searching for the truth is still allowed in my nation, whether its our propaganda or someone else's, I am able to find the reality somewhere!!!

 

[Silversmyth]

Just the freedom to live--FREE !!!

 

[DrmChld]

Freedom for me is being able to choose to smoke an e-cig

 

[phoenixfire]

Freedom means being able to worship whoever or whatever I wish.

Well, after the storms last night, and a tree narrowly missing my house, my thoughts of freedom today is the Freedom to allow myself to not hang on to material things... the freedom to understand a house is just wood and bricks... the freedom to choose to let go......
