Abstract: We prove that if $Gamma$ is a countable group without a subgroup isomorphic to $mathbb{Z}^2$ that acts faithfully and minimally by orientation preserving homeomorphisms on the circle, then it has a free orbit. We give examples showing that this does not hold for actions by homeomorphisms of the line.
