I definitely do NOT want you dead. Disagreement is healthy if done in a constructive way. It can educate all parties and enlighten situations for better opinions all round. The result is a stronger community. So I am glad you are here and expressing your perspectives!

I don't see comparisons as 'evil'. If you disagree with the validity of the comparison, then lets talk about why you feel that is the case. Perhaps provide an alternative comparison and explain why the factors which comprise it are better.

Back to choices. When we make a choice, there are usually conditions. If you purchase a ticket to see a movie, there are rules. You cannot run up and down the isles naked and screaming during the movie. It is not allowed. There are rules and consequences. If you don't like those rules, then don't buy the ticket (or find a theater which allows it). Same with choosing which country and government to live under (the rules which are defined).

For example, you may want to live in Singapore (a beautiful city by the way) but they do not allow chewing gum. If you absolutely want to chew gum everyday in public, it would probably not be a good choice for you.

Taxes are part of the conditions for citizens under all major governments. So is other agreements like not committing crimes against people (assault, battery, homicide, etc.). It is just part of the agreement package. For those who break the rules there are consequences.
