No it's not. It specifically says that the following are the only things that they take into account in determining their ratings:Originally Posted by EatRite
Trade policy,
Fiscal burden of government,
Government intervention in the economy,
Monetary policy,
Capital flows and foreign investment,
Banking and finance,
Wages and prices,
Property rights,
Regulation, and
Informal market activity.

how does this not relate to how free we are...
it's a measure of how big the goverment's hand in our lives is...
if the gov participates in economic intervension through redistributing the wealth, that decreases people's freedom to keep the money they earn in an untouched econ... regulation has to do with how much sh*t is regulated (steriods, etc...) ... property rights has to do with the rights of people on their property... property rights in the united states are held with the most respect... lots of convictions are not won because of lack of evidence due to the fruit of the poisoned tree rule... the article is about economic freedom... i know, but there are aspects of this that can be looked at to actually give a rating for freedom... what else do we have to rate freedom??? in order to compare you have to have numbers and statistics, or a valuation method... economic freedom, and the componants of it give a good rating as to how much the goverment interfears with the market, our lives, and how much control the exhibit over us... if you can offer any other way to administer any valuation tactic to freedom lets hear it...

It relates to some aspects of freedom, not all aspects, as you had insinuated.

so your saying that a society where the poor starve, the rich get richer and you go to jail for doing anything the govt. doesn't think is ok to do is freedom?? bwahahahahaha
Anabolic Member
ask 1victor, he thinks this is freedom
F.I.L.F.
Shut up Kraut Bastard!
Freedom is not free, there is always a price. I disagree with the severity of A.S. laws. I am sure there are other things I disagree with too. I wish we could all pick and choose what we want but it's not realistic.

I unfortunatly voted for bush twice now. I know he goes overboard with the drug laws but hes broken the straw on this one. Now that he has banned all AS in the U.S. it has forced alot of us to go underground and take risks with our health, freedom, ext. I dont like it when some ass takes away my right to chose whats right for me. Does anybody from the U.S. feel the same about this subject?
steroids have been illegal in the United States since 1994....so president w bush hasn't taken away your right to take steroids....they have been illegal for quite sometime now

Dude, if you dont keep up with current events in the U.S. than please dont respond to my thread. Androstien, M1t, MD1t, ext,ext have been legal up until 2 weeks ago. If you dont believe me than walk into your local Max Muscle and see whats on the shelves....Who is the tiny dude in your Avator....you? lol

http://www.guardian.co.uk/usa/story/...312540,00.htmlHow Bush's grandfather helped Hitler's rise to power
Rumours of a link between the US first family and the Nazi war machine have circulated for decades. Now the Guardian can reveal how repercussions of events that culminated in action under the Trading with the Enemy Act are still being felt by today's president
F.I.L.F.
No we left long before that. Okay your country spawned Hitler, what is your point on that post?
Anabolic Member
yes, and your presidents family financed him
Senior Member
yes, and your presidents family financed him
bush's family financed hitler??? even if this were true... who really cares... bush the seed of his family... he had no control over their actions... to say that bush is at fault because of the actions of his relatives (which i doubt is true) is obsurd... i'd confidently say that every single one of us has something in our family tree that we would not be proud of... from kicking the native americans off their land, to enslaving blacks, to whatever else there is... i dont support racism, but my relatives enslaved blacks... am i responsible for their actions??? i would hope not..............

in sweden its often tests on the gym and the police has the 'power' to do whatever they like.. The took me for no reason when i was shopping. they asked if I was using drugs. And then they asked if I was using steroids and they took me to the hospital for bloodtest.
You risk going to jail if using AAS in sweden...
Anabolic Member
wow, I thought Sweden is pretty liberal - that s pretty fascistic! nuttin like that could happen here, it s not illegal to use steroids, it s just illegal to sell them.

Its not fun to worry everytime you enter the streets...
I think I will move to the stats instead... Is it easy to get a job?

maybe im a dummy but not so much as to vote for a republican-conservative, democrat liberal. i think democrat means more rights for the people. guns are cool but not going to jail for drugs is alot better.

I agree its stupid to go to jail for a androsteinadine (spellin's ****ed) pill but you can pry my guns from my cold dead fingers.....

in part its a good thing for them to be illegal, but it should be a fine. if they had test on the shelf at the local drug store every 14 year old kid would be taking, it without proper research, and then we would be in a **** load of trouble with little kids on the stuff year round thinking bigger is better and shooting 10ml/week i wish there was some way to get qualified by a class or semoting so they know you know what you are doing then would be able to buy it
