Do you believe in a full free speech?
(If your answer contains the word "but", just click no you hypocrite)

@LukeAlmighty I support the right to freedom of expression. As always, your rights end where someone else's begin. It's our job to make sure that someone's "rights" aren't just some stupid shit based on their country of origin. Speech can in fact do measurable harm that intrudes on someone's rights (life, liberty, pursuit of happiness), so that's where it would stop, naturally.
no matter what your selection is, the opposition will find a way to turn it against you, so i think this answer is probably the best. which makes sense, there is a reason why the founding fathers said the same thing. they didn't just randomly come up with it haphazardly.
@beardalaxy
Can you just say no?
@LukeAlmighty I think it mostly depends on what your definition of "full free speech" is, because free speech as I know it is as I have described. If you are referring to absolute anarchy, then I would say no. Reason being, basically, we live in a society. I don't trust the vast majority of people to have access to something like that and actually treat it with respect.
@beardalaxy
No idea why you would ever compare something so civilized as speech to anarchy, but I think you are in a clear "no" at this point.
@LukeAlmighty speech can be pretty damn uncivilized lol. As long as it doesn't impede on someone else's rights, I think it's fine.
@beardalaxy
This is the direct definition of hate speech.
Ok, thanks for explaining yourself.
@LukeAlmighty that's why I said that we shouldn't base a person's rights on their country of origin. Nobody has the right to not hear something offensive about them. People do have the right to not have pornography, edited or otherwise, of them published without their consent (which includes CP). Defamation is a pretty clear cut example of when speech is proven to harm somebody. Other examples are fraud and false advertising. There is a good reason why these things are illegal... They harm somebody else's actual rights.
It's not like I have to accept any random reason somebody might think something is a right to hold this viewpoint.
