I'm not quite sure how to rate this. Liberty, a lawful extension of equity (ancient Hebrew as is averse to Greek, Roman or later adaptations) was endowed upon this dispensation of existence by the Creator. Setting such scenario in carnal man's perception of punishment and reward doesn't quite allow for an accurate representation or in depth understanding. Punishment and reward is how carnal malefactors control their subjects (the implementation of a god in such a scenario is only for means of intensifying and justifying evil). By historical observation, those that exude liberty at a natural law setting prosper, have peace and participate in the best that humanity has to offer. When other than natural law and liberty are administered (such as through socialism and other forms of progressive theocracies), poverty, pain, agitation, war, compelled compliance, government licenses, victimless crimes, larceny with impunity (2nd plank of the communist manifesto, Social Security, police state confiscations, etc.) and otherwise man's inhumanity to man is realized.

    How does one define punishment and reward at natural law? At natural law (gravity), is slipping on a wet curb and dropping six inches or, slipping on a rock and falling down a cliff a punishment, reward or just a natural occurrence. There are not so obvious laws of nature commanding less immediate results as gravity - such as, fiscal laws. Keynesian economics are a definitive element of socialism – as is outside of, and opposed to the laws of nature’s fiscal laws. When nature’s fiscal laws are adhered to through individual laissez-faire efforts, prosperity is available to all. Within applied Keynesian economics, a few get rich while the majority gets poor / poorer / poorest (economic repression prevails). Is that a punishment, reward or just an occurrence at nature for living a particular law / rule.

    On the topic of liberty (while considering punishments and rewards), an elephant in the room that is not usually associated therewith is the topic of: “justice” and, the applications thereof. Depending on one’s personal perspective of punishment and reward and definition of justice – liberty exists in another conversation.

    Isn't not the god individuals who puts cuts into your testicle as you sleep?  What could justify this action?  God belongs to the gangsters never the independent minded. The independent would not put cuts into your testicle.

    Symbolically, the ignorant has cut my testicle to say I have lost my virginity.

    Another item, the poster claims that mental illness is not a crime, however, the mentally ill do nothing, I mean nothing but crime. Mental illness must be treated as a crime.  Lots of judicial proceeding for all conventional individuals and lots of therapy. The poster presenter is presenting crime.

    The is a homogeneous environment, addicted to everything.  If you are interesting in heterogeneous relationships, as a male you are treated as a female. The populous cannot understand the concept of not being homosexual, don't even have a dictionary word for it, and this is another reason why they cut my testicle. I am the only "heterosexual"   on the planet, however desire no sex, which is unheard and so the conventional sickos wish to remove my male genitals.

    And finally, every conventional white male, is an "our women" creature, and you better possess this attitude if you want to associate with the white female.  "Interracial" couples are infiltrators behind "enemy" lines according to the conventional mentally ill. The healthy mentality want full integration with equal representation in every aspect of our living arrangements.

    Sillik, WHAT ? ? ? 🤪 🤪 🤪 I'm sure if I said you are nuts, you would take it the wrong way; hahahaha, lolololol. WHAT? ? ?  That imbecilic / nonsensical word salad has to be straight out of your dictionary for mentally ill children. Are you bragging or complaining that only one of your testicles was cut. From your position of god, are you confessing that you are only half a man because you haven't lost your virginity twice?

    For goodness sake, Fred, get some help.  Your fixation on mental health is obviously a defense against those that have been expressing concern...  "I'm not mentally ill, you are!"

    No, Mr Archer fascism does not include stating conventional behavioral facts. I would like to change this way of thinking but don't know any white conventional individuals, I"m not in the Klu Klux Klan.  I'm sorry to tell you Mr Archer but your association with Klan is the fascism to which you speak. I am in the social social club.  The motivation to be in the Klan is financial gain. I'm 512 dollars overdrawn at the bank, 30 cents in my pocket, sleep outside and recently had my genitalia attacked by you racists, sexist fascist sickos while sleeping.

    If they told me how cruel and inhuman you were in my younger days I would have never believed it.    Two individuals of good character stand out with me, Ms Marilyn Monroe and Albert Einstein.  I never had the pleasure to meet them but I believe they had redeeming qualities.  I noticed on the internet "reporting" about these two, according to the internet Miss Monroe had a 165 IQ and Mr Einstein had a 160 IQ.  I hold no relevance for this sort of thing, what I know of Einstein he would pleasantly humorously respond to the "report" that with her brains and his beauty they would have been a good team. He was a fair gentleman, but who I would like to spend the evening of watching old movies, munching popcorn, drinking root beer, it would definitely be, Miss Monroe.

    My name was altered so I have to write the whole post over. If they told me how cruel and inhuman you were in my younger days I would never believed it, like again after this post of two redeeming individuals I mention you change my name. Two individuals of good character stand out with me, Ms Marilyn and Albert Einstein.
