A very opened end question;

Which would you rather be?

1) Free
2) Safe

If you care too, we would all enjoy reading your comments.

    Never mentioned politics or any of that stuff. Yet some of you answered the question w/o saying so. I'll put you down as "safe"

    I have to work today, but after that, I will be free..... to go to dinner with my lovely wife. ;) Cheers, RickO

    I like to be free from having to make binary choices.

  • Batman23Batman23 Posts: 4,999 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Free, that is the key to life. Free to choose which ever coin I can afford to have. Free to choose how safe I want my coins to be. Free to not be "safe" and risk it all.

  • CoinscratchCoinscratch Posts: 9,332 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Actually you can have both depending on where you are you may have neither.

  • dbldie55dbldie55 Posts: 7,739 ✭✭✭✭✭

    If you give up free, you will never be safe.

    I took it to mean raw or slabbed. :p

  • MgarmyMgarmy Posts: 2,296 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I agree duece and it has been my experience that the ones that spout out about freedom the most...never served. All during the GWOT “ we need to do this and we need to do that.” 9 times out of 10 when asked “who were you with,” the answer came back an unsurprising ...never served. Has that been your experience as well?

    ...and my freedom.

  • SanctionIISanctionII Posts: 12,474 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I do not agree with the premise of the OP.

    My choice would be both; and the human species should strive to obtain and maintain both.
