Tweaked for your Pleasure

If history has taught the human race anything, it is this. It is that freedom is never free and that freedom needs to be fought for. In the United Kingdom and even the United States, I bet it is easy for us to say – “Ya, we are free. We can do what we want and say what we want”. And yes, we can and the key part is “we can”. We are more then happy to say we have freedom of speech and most says it because they have never had to fight for it. It tomorrow, the United Kingdom became the Islamic Republic of the United Kingdom, would people still then say what they want and what they truly feel ?

Again, back to history. Very likely. The United Kingdom (Well, the countries that makes it) have never given up to anyone and fought for all long as they can. The Romans and Germany to be two good examples. We can say the same about the United States. However, not everyone is able to do what we can. I am more then sure you have heard about what is happening with Iran.

The Iranians are being told it is completely fair. Well, I won’t get into too much but I think that is complete bullshit. If it was fair, then why are people saying differently ?

Then, it goes two ways. Either the Iranian people can “accept” it was fair or even “accept” there won’t be a change or they can fight to be free. We all can see what is going to happen and once again Iran will be going civil war. Now, this wouldn’t have been possible (or a little anyway) if it wasn’t for the Internet. The Internet is a wonderful network that allows the sending of information. Tweaked for your Pleasure, for example, uses the Internet so that I can say what I wish. However the nature of the design for how the modern Internet works (in terms of DNS etc) allows it to be filtered. While there are many ways around it (such as a VPN, Hotspot Shield, proxies etc) most people does not understand how to do it.

Hopefully one day, Iran will have the freedom it wants and maybe then, they will stand up to the international table, speak with Israel and accept them and say to the world – we want change and want to live with you all in peace.

But remember that we can do all this only because of the freedom that we have. Freedom is never free and comes at a price which are:

• Freedom comes with rules.
• Freedom comes with laws.
• Freedom comes with responsibilities.
• Freedom comes with accountability.
• Freedom comes with blood, sweat and tears.
• Finally, then freedom is threaten – It often comes with death to get it back.

That is the price of freedom and it is a price I will pay with no debt should it be needed. It seems Iranians will be doing the same and Israelites has been doing it for as long as history remembers. The patriots of the United States as and so as patriots of the United Kingdom. So does a child when he or she reads a book, talks and plays.

But, if the time ever comes. Will you ?

I would like to also add something else. I am thankful for the soldiers that not only fights for our freedom and is also fighting for other’s freedom as well, even as I type this. I salute them, their comrades and the fallen and you will never been forgiven for what you have fought for. This isn’t a question of right or wrong, so please do not start commenting about that.
