Is Freedom Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose?

Debate Information


The phrase “freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose” is from the song “Me and Bobby McGee” written by Kris Kristofferson and popularized by Janis Joplin. While the lyrics suggest that when a person has lost everything, they may feel a sense of freedom, this statement is not universally true.

Freedom is a complex and multifaceted concept that can have different meanings for different people. It can refer to political freedom, personal freedom, spiritual freedom, or freedom from oppression, among other things.

While it is true that people who have lost everything may feel a sense of liberation from their former constraints, it is not necessarily the case that this is the only way to achieve freedom. For many people, freedom is a goal to be achieved through hard work, perseverance, and a commitment to personal growth and development.

Furthermore, it is important to recognize that freedom can be both positive and negative. Positive freedom refers to the ability to pursue one’s goals and aspirations without external interference or constraint. Negative freedom, on the other hand, refers to the absence of constraints, but not necessarily the ability to pursue one’s goals.

In short, while the lyrics of “Me and Bobby McGee” suggest that freedom may be achieved through loss, the concept of freedom is much more complex than this and cannot be reduced to a simple phrase.

    It is universally true. It is simple not the best connection to established justice in describing the United States Constitutional condition of freedom. It’s a song not constitutional right so does not need to be held in comparison to the perfect connection. The most perfect state of the union is made with the words having no cost. "Freedom" has only one meaning and that mean is without cost. "Bobby McGee" is a love song and a well written one at that, it describes the pain and risk which comes in giving liberties to others as a person. " Roberta McGee"

    Though Mss. Joplin made the song her own like many great singers do. The song was always about a woman who gave a man liberty and the cost of freedom came to him by relief of the shared risk it takes to start a family by a woman. The song may mean freedom hurts when you lose your value regardless of if it is at your own hand or not. It's Kris Kristofferson's song so you might need to ask its Captain.

    @JulesKorngold ;

       Anarchy is often misunderstood by how  individuals have taken from the information given as historical Truth. But this way of being is not a beLIEf. Truth is it isn't literally a rebellious being. It is the only way oneself can exist out of All Ways that could be experienced. iAm Simply Chaotic,as I can't control the motions made by others without adding to the ChAoS that it is. I can only seek clarity in my own character my own way. The control is a reference to the structures we create as a way for us to feel comfortable with being Here. 
       Existence in All Ways to be, is Anarchy's view. Nothing is to be possessed by us. The thought Always will be a factor in adding or subtracting the placement of anything else we believe will aid our imaginable suffering we believe is due to the outside world of ours own reality. The freedom to choose anything, is one choice. One of which will show the duality to its presence, as it is the freedom to be without choice.

    Peace is found when one eliminates the fear of losing. No problem will be a problem for if it wasn't for the thought that it is. Stop thinking about it and there will be no problem. As it only Matters more to those who think it matters at all. Don't dwell in its domain. Stop the problem by not thinking. The freedom to be me is free from all distractions causing the motion to throw us off balance from maintaining our own enjoyment.. not pleasures.

    Kind of. Freedom definitely is not the "freedom" for you to choose do you eat chocolate ice cream or vanilla ice cream.

    When it comes to freedom I agree with Zizek. True freedom is a painful choice, for example choosing to fight invaders where you could potentially die instead of choosing to live under them
  • Freedom is nothing less to lose when the context of free means there is no assigned pay nor spending on things which are provn free. We are at liberty to hold a united state free for ourselfves and others or at cost by its method of filing, and assembly it will always be a lie to say something held at cost or assigned payment or by word protest is not whole truth and nothing but truth, free.

    The argument in debate when made on a point, "We the people." as state of the Consitutinal union in America have altured taxation without representation to representation without taxation. We are to look at whole truth, and nothing but truth, and the risk is the obstruction of truth is shown in how hard it can be to create a statement that is nothing but truth. This is due to fact that truth never rests on one side of a right or wrong and the passage of law does not instantly fix the connections set on estabished justice.

    A ratification of United States Constitutional Right set as a statement that was not held as self-evident truth had been attempted to set a standard of universal right that all witnessing of women as a woman was to be from now on unconstitutional as right and automatically punishable by civil action due to writing of law. This was at the time a lie and as a united state of law is still a lie. The fact is it will never be a whole truth to call a woman who is by law of nature a woman in whole truth anything other than by age a woman. This action then excludes all those who hold a perfect connection to established justice and common defense towards general welfare.

    The argument of grievance is built on the years of understandings passed on to women by education that all men are not to be created equal by their creator when women are those described by law if nature to give birth to men, therefore, as a creator, women assert the by law only women can be a creator of all men as a united action was by what was instructed to younger females by the single act of religious and civil marriage which would describe men no longer equal to all men conditionally. The whole truth describing otherwise as conditionally is a state of the union made by American United States Constitutional Right as America was moving away from a Monarchy and the ideas of powers set to King and Queen within Marriage being a state of the union in political representation. Presadera, a woman who has by truth, whole truth, and nothing but truth been held within self-evident truth as having been created equal by their creator equality to all women as a Constitutional right. Using GOD as an example of a numerical axion which may be understood as a whole truth to be explained openly as the only one of its kind.
