Bah . Laughable .Originally Posted by warmcome
why does all free speech seem to revolve around dissing Allah?
are their not other areas where freedom is denied?
Would be laughable , except they're going around murdering any and all who disagree with them.
Every country at some point or another has had a discussion on the extent of , and limits to freedom of speech.
Freedom of speech in US also extends to the freedom to burn The Flag. Think on that . Cartoon , flag.
Free speech extends so far in fact , that it's only limited to prohibiting yelling Fire in a crowded theatre ,
or if it is deemed that a person is intent to encite violence , he/she may be prevented from giving a speech.
US govt's power extends to having the authority to take someone into (temporary) custody , if it's felt that the person's
mere presence at an event may cause havoc. (NeoNazi rallies etc. , hate speech , rally to violence , etc. )
There ARE , and there SHOULD BE limits on free speech (imo) in all societies , but the caveat should be on benefiting the majority.
Free speech should never be silenced by terror or by threat of terror , may that threat be from terrorists , or govt.

I do what I want. I cannot do otherwise.
