I don’t anticipate ever being put in jail, but in the event that I was unjustly arrested (and that is the only way I can see it happen) I would just fight to the death rather than willingly be taken captive. And actually, a man is legally entitled to use lethal force to avoid a false arrest. I’m sure they’ll rush to change that law, and practically speaking it doesn’t actually matter, but since you will be dead anyway it doesn’t matter that they will declare you either right or wrong. The difference between a man and a simp is that a man will choose freedom or death. The men that built the US all felt that way, and that’s why they achieved what they did, and at one point the US was the greatest nation ever in world history. It had the ideals of these men, their wisdom was applied and actually followed for a short while.

But the freedom is in your mind. If you are truly free it is all a state of mind. Freedom is not a physical state. Please reconsider your choice to choose death instead of prison.

By your logic a quadriplegic (e.g., Hawking) should choose death instead of life. I would rather be in prison than a quadriplegic.

There are countless things that impinge on the type of freedom that you think is important. If you objectively measure your own freedom (according to your definition) now, you will find it severely lacking. But you don’t choose death. People are forcing your behaviour in a multitude of ways already. So why would you choose death when someone forces you into a prison?

Plus, you would be committing violence to fight your imprisonment. Would you be right in taking the life of some of the police officers? They had nothing to do with the sentencing. But you would take their lives? That is wrong.

If the surroundings are poor for your health then you have the freedom to move. If you fail to move while you have this freedom then you deserve whatever ills befall you.

Many great thinkers have provided their thoughts on this topic. I encourage you to study them.

Some others were starring at me and fondling themselves. A few wanted to get into a shower stall with me and have gay sex. Thank god the past 2 years, that kind of stuff almost doesn’t happen anymore; at least I don’t see it anymore. These were all old, fat, hairy guys trying to get touchy-feeling with me. Ooh, NASTY!

I had a very similar experience once. There must be a website where gays set up times to meetup in public places. So, they assume any man in the place at that time is there for the same reason. It was probably just bad timing on your part!
