You weren't saying you were secure, because I took "they definately cant access my computer as I AM BEHIND A ROUTER, and my main computer is a freebsd box, and it's basically a firewall" to mean you consider yourself secure? I am confused.
I agree that a firewall (or any equipment) will not stop a DDOS. One sure defence against DDOS's is to not broadcast your IP in the first place.
OK, so having your connection bombarded in this way may not affect you, but it may well affect anyone attached to the same card as you in your local UBR. You may well be slowing their connections. Let me ask, is that fair? Should they suffer slower connections because of something you do?
