Once again, I am moving this away from a troll thread.

Was no vid in my examples. I said:
"Its just how it is. Any government takes away rights. Remember the draft? They just tell you that your going to fight in a war. Is that a removal of rights? You know how you have to get a driving licence for anything? Why is that? Money?? Turns a right into a privilege. Don't get me started on parking fees...Haven't even the right to leave my property on roads that i pay for for a limited amount of time without paying for the right to park it even though i pay to register and insure it to use the roads that as previously said- i pay for.
If you think governments of all persuasions are not all about restricting and removing rights from the citizens then you need to pay more attention.
You haven't even the right to leave your own country and return without asking for permission. And pay for the privilege to apply.
Did you know that you have to actually pay to renounce your citizenship? Even your citizenship is not free for you to do as you like with. "
You said examples, which suggests links to something from a good third-party source that advances your argument.
The only links I remember from you are vids from odd niche producers.
Your own opinions are not examples; they are opinions.

i missed this post, like i miss most of his posts...
but one thing in particular that he said is fucking bullshit, and should be named such...
driving is NOT a right, it is a PRIVILEGE...and it comes with the responsibility to know AND follow the rules of the road.
and parking fees? the government doesn't build free parking garages, they never have, no idea why you would think they should start doing so now...they provide the roads you abuse every day, the businesses or homes or schools you're using those publicly funded roads to get to, are responsible for their own parking situations.
they also provide firemen, police protection, street lights, working sewers and water supplies...public parks, schools, traffic signals, street signs...but since you obviously have never used any of those things, why should you have to pay your fair share to live in the protected, pampered society you incessantly complain about?
