Freedom to do what you want does not mean freedom from the consequences of your actions.  This is what CPM/costume man miss.  They are selfish enough to put thier freedoms above everyone elses, and when they get called on it, their first defence is they have the right to do so.  Sure they have the legal right to wear thier costume or smell bad or be obnoxious.  But its still inappropriate.  And there are still consequences.  And I still have the legal right to let them know that I think that, and I have the legal right to not be associated with them, and I have the legal right (If I am the owner of a store or in a similar position) to ask them to leave, and I have the legal right to make fun of them all I want.  And I am very glad someone put their life on the line to give me these rights.  It gives me the right to kick ass when  these cat piss smelling, costume wearing, morons try to make thier rights more important than mine. Thats a big broblem with a lot of people who have grown up in the US.  They think freedom is about not having consequences for their actions.  And I think that is why Nisarg does not see CPM where he is and why CPM is rare in Europe.  RPGs are a haven for people who want to be free of these consequnces, because in an RPG they can get away with the stuff that they clearly know would have consequnces in real life.  Aaron.</blockquote>
