Freedom of Speech

[deathdrow]

Who cares if you don't have the right to say every single thing you could possibly think of?

 

 

 

It's people like you who suddenly complain when you get thrown in Jail for making a comment about your government. If you aren't prepared to defend your freedom then you have no right to complain once they are taken away.

 

 

 

We can make any comment about our government we want though. I can say that George bush is a [bleep] moron in public and not get arrested for it.

 

 

 

But not everyone in the world has that right.

 

i wouldnt really consider that a right.

 

 

 

You don't think people have the right to speak out against their government?

 

well i meant i don't think it's considered a right to call your president a [bleep]ing moron.

 

i do believe that one has the right to speak out against their government though.

Baron's pretty much nailed it in this thread. Unlimited freedom of speech would be to the detriment of society, but the laws are reasonably well defined and (at the moment) protected.

I was surprised my huge arguement that the KKK was perfectly ok and had every right to protest wasn't brought up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, it does to a point. Of course we can't run around saying whatever we want. We'd have morons saying "FIRE IN THE BUILDING!" for kicks.

Al-Qaeda also have every right to spread their message as far as I'm concerned. The thing with free-speech is you have to accept others. Even if you don't agree with them.
