IF "freedom" is not free, then

[ashling]

we should not call it "freedom" we should call it "a similar facsimilie to the thing that we would have if freedom was free"

its just the same, only different

I plan to flip my freedom for a profit and come out ahead.

4. Freedom is free but you must also buy at least 5 dollars worth of stuff in order to put it on credit

[ashling]

5. Buy one, and get one

for what would have actually kind of been "free" if you hadn't had to buy the other one.

6. They're talking about free as in beer vs. free as in speech

read this:

Free as in Beer/Free as in Speech
This expression is used to clarify that the word "free" is being used in the sense of freedom, as in the great sense of freedom that you feel when you get really drunk by drinking a lot of beer.

The antithesis to this is "free as in speech", which refers to the fact that you generally don't have to pay any money to listen to a speech. (Hell, most speeches I wouldn't listen to if you paid me.)
