Jul 14th, 2013 - 03:02 pm - Link - Report abuse 0@1 But isn't it nice to see that argieland, once the world's leading beef exporter, has “dropped off”. As of May 2013, Brazil exported 1.3 million tons, little Uruguay exported 350,000 tons, democratic Paraguay exported 210,000 tons whilst useless, corrupt, criminal argieland could only export 183,000 tons. Not too many dollars to be made there! Seems as though the world has recognised that argie beef is dangerous. Too many drugs, too many artificial hormones, too much greed. Eat the stuff yourselves. Then we can watch as you get sick, succumb to mental incapacity, die. Taste of your own “medicine”.

Having looked through dozens of articles……….it's exactly as I said it was.
The phrase has been argued and debated many times by many scholars and they all draw their own conclusions………..and why is this?
Because the context of the line in question is ambiguous.
This is a link to one of the most balanced arguments…..

If you feel you are more qualified to explain it better……..then the stage is yours, jump up onto the podium and impress us all.
But do bear in mind..... if the US Government didn't think that it pertained to Liberty then why bother having this inscribed on a plaque in the stairwell of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty:
“They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

Argentina would kill to only owe that sum of money-although of course they never pay it back.
Well as Argentina doesn't need £200 mil of UK aid anymore, a small sliver of that would help the Islanders.
Your a dumber fuck you you lead us all to believe. In that lovely, overused quote, Franklin, was responding and writing to the Governor of Pennsylvania on November 11, 1755 with respect to taxing the landowners in order to secure the British army to protect the frontier settlements during the French and Indian war. The Penn family owned most of Pennsylvania and did not want to pay an annual tax. They offered the settlers a short term fix.... money to purchase guns to protect themselves and the Governor was in favor of that opposing taxation.
Jul 14th, 2013 - 10:51 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Temporary purchased security.....the guns versus the might of the British Army.........Essential liberty? The right of the people to impose taxation through elected officials and to make that choice themselves.
This is something you cannot get from the internet and something you need to discuss in s forum. Read the actual entire writing. Would you like the volume and page? I gave you the date.
Again.....you spent three days looking. Try Yale University.
Again as I said before, you are ignorant to the actual context unless you read the letter in it's entirely. Do not confuse on other occassions when Franklin uses essential liberty and liberties. It is different for you to think you can be wrong but you are not only wrong you are an idiot for your arrogance.
You really are stupid..........yeah that's why the quote is in the STATUE OF LIBERTY........because it was so significant .
Jul 14th, 2013 - 11:04 pm - Link - Report abuse 0and this whole article is wrong..........

and only you are right.........
You really are the dumbest Yank I've ever come across........
I can post another half dozen links saying the same thing........and you will just deny it............because.............you're.......STUPID
The context of the line in question is ambiguous. It comes after a reference to the frontiersmen of Pennsylvania, and is not directly made with reference to the Penn family, the “Proprietary commission” or any other governing body. Rather, the line that precedes it is, “We have taken every Step in our Power, consistent with the just Rights of the Freemen of Pennsylvania, for their Relief, and we have Reason to believe, that in the Midst of their Distresses they themselves do not wish us to go farther.” In other words, Franklin can quite plausibly be read as saying, “We have gone as far to ensure security as residents of Pennsylvania actually want, and if they don’t want us to go further, we won’t. After all, giving up one’s liberty in the name of security means you deserve neither liberty nor security.”

I understand you must read other peoples interpretation of his writings, but did YOU read his letter in it's entirety? Such as in the opening“
”The House came together at this Time with the sincerest Dispositions to avoid, if possible, all Disputes with the Governor on any Account whatever. And being deeply affected with the present distressful Circumstances of the Frontier Counties, determined to do, for the publick Safety and Welfare, every Thing that could reasonably be expected from them, either as dutiful Subjects to the Crown, or Lovers of their Country.“
Or when he is directly talking about the governor exempting taxation on Penn's land:
”during the Continuance of the Act, the Crown should think fit to declare, that the Estates of the Proprietaries in this Province ought to be exempted, in such Case the Tax, tho’ assessed, shall not be levied, or if any Part has been levied, the same shall be refunded to the Proprietaries, and an additional Tax laid on the People to supply the Deficiency.“
This entire writing is about taxation. The only thing on Lady Liberty is the poem ”New Colosssus”
Stick to tossing RG's out of helicopters.

You've been Wiki reading again......and you are such a liar you don't know anything.....do you know this?......
The Franklin ”letter” you are referring to was actually written in 1775 and not 1755. It does not show up at all in the 197 letters that Franklin wrote from 1737-1783. It does however show up in the 1775 “notes for a proposition at the Pennsylvania Assembly”, as published in “Memoirs of the life and writings of Benjamin Franklin” (1818). Although attributed to Franklin the actual citation in the notes was put in quotes - a strong indication that the material was being quoted and not original material. Finally, the quote “Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety“ is found on the title page of ”An Historical Review of the Constitution and Government of Pennsylvania” which was published, by Franklin, in 1759 but was actually authored by Richard Jackson.
Keep your dumb head out of Wiki ya fuckwit!
On Liberty herself....you typed on the pedestal.....read up if you forget....they are many quotes NOT on the statue. As long as you think your are superior, you will always be subject to your weakness.

So tell me again why put a meaningless quote about taxation........on a plaque in the stairwell of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty??
You are missing the whole point........it may or may not mean what it says, that wasn't my point.

Which is what I originally said!

DOn't the the actual subject of which is Ben Franklin 1775 you still insist?
Jul 15th, 2013 - 12:12 am - Link - Report abuse 0Not at all the earliest known use of said quote was actually 1736, the whole argument as far as I have seen has been taken from the letter to the governor in 1755 but it has been used several times and by different people.
Jul 15th, 2013 - 12:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0The argument will go on forever!
That quote in his letter as I stated numerous times......to the governor as I specifically stated was in 1755 and you stated that letter was actually 1775. That letter is in the government archives in Pennsylvania as he was an Assemblyman at the time.
Jul 15th, 2013 - 12:45 am - Link - Report abuse 0This is not about the quote in general, it is about the quote the Benjamin Franklin used in that letter in 1755 to the Governor of Pennsylvania over taxing ALL land owners and not exempting some.
As Hep C said......to quote Ben Franklin again.
I have never heard that quote earlier than the assemblymen's letter. I could be wrong. Until you I err. But can you show me where in USA documents it is published? I provided you with the November 11, 1755 letter.
Think- for the benefit of the ignorant such as you - the Abbattoir,s principle raole and why it was built - was as a means of support to Agriculture and diversification of the rural sector.
Jul 15th, 2013 - 03:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0Agree current situation of 1/2Million K loss is not good - but the principle is that £2.5 million went into the farms where it is badly needed - and a mere cost to the FI taxpayer (not the UK at all) of £0.5 million so £1 became £5 - not bad value.
Fail to see the connection with the EU? That funding has come from the entire EU -not the UK - if the Uk was to fund spomething here(they dont) then they would do it direct - whay on earth would they do it through the EU?
