@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 The unborn child has rights of their own. Like I said, it is up to us as a collective to decide where said rights begin and that is where the true debate lies. If we have no laws on it whatsoever, then abortion is legal at any point because the rights of the child are not recognized. So we have to find out where a person's rights begin so we know when to limit another person's.
Complete and total free speech (or any form of anarchy whatsoever) is not something I would personally use to impede on someone's rights, but I fully believe that my ideological enemies WOULD use it for that purpose and that is why it cannot exist. We live in a society ![]()
