People use it incorrectly, anyway. "Freedom of Speech" in most countries (yes, America, you aren't the only one with this Act) means the government or media can't censor an individual or organisation. And, it's widely known that the Internet doesn't abide by any specific countries laws. For example, the US can't do anything about PirateBay, because it was made in Sweden, and is legal under their law. I'm not sure about the latest WikiLeaks news, but that fact that it was created in Australia has meant the US would have trouble trying to stop it. And, when someone tells you that you're a fuckwit, don't act like you can hide behind "Freedom of Speech" for whatever fuckwit thing you just said, while saying they can't.

Forgive me; I was in rant mode when I wrote that comment. It's the whole percentage of jerkarses thing - that most of the population on Internet sites like this one are Americans, so ratio-wise, the amount of jerks and idiots are more likely to be American.

Because of all the people I've talked to online, the people that thought that the US alone has a Freedom of Speech Act, or didn't know that other countries had a Constitution, were from the US. And, as I explained, it wasn't due to Americans overall thinking that, and I shouldn't have said it. It was just the majority of people you do talk to online are from the US.

I'M LOOKING AT YOU WESTBORO BAPTIST CHURCH! >:[

The more I think about this post, I agree. First, you can't say that you and people you agree with have the right to Freedom of Speech, while people you disagree with don't. And second, there are consequences. You may be allowed to say what you want, and then people are allowed to think you're a moron for saying what you want. If you started an argument at say your place of employment about something not directly related to your job (say, politics) and got fired, you couldn't hide that on Freedom of Speech. You aren't some brave little hero standing in the face on censorship for touting moronic views. And, if Encyclopaedia Dramatic is any indicative, what you say on the Internet may be saved and and forwarded around the world.

basically u can say whatever u want but u have to take ownership of what you just said...and plz no gramr nazis

Nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga nigga, why you eat so much chicken? Obviously, I can't say things like that and claim that it's freedom of speech. Similarly, the westboro baptist church must die, what they are doing is harrassment and intentional emotional anguish (which are illegal, yet they somehow get away with it everytime...)

You could claim "NIGGA NIGGA NIGGA" under Freedom of Speech, but it would be overruled by Hate Speech and/or public nuisance legislation. WBC isn't actually breaking any laws - they don't protest in the cemeteries any more, they protest on the streets outside them. I agree that they are causing emotional anguish, but that's the double sword - rights go both ways. You can't say that WBC has to be silenced because the majority hates them. If you give the authorities the power to silence one group, then what happened when they silence anything that goes against public opinion. What happens if they try to shut up something you believe in? But, this post does say it has consequences, and it does. Think about, mostly everyone thinks WBC are arseholes, even people who are against homosexual rights tend to view them as dickholes.

Im pretty sure protesting at a funeral is hate speech too, and saying "God hates fags" is probably just as bad as saying nigger to a black man... I dunno, I have mixed feelings about this. I agree on what you said...for the most part.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, I know that it's bad. But whether it's illegal is a different matter entirely. They moved the protests outside the cemetery into the streets - they were quite clever in that regard, because if they were in the actual cemetery, they could have been arrested, but they're allowed to protest in the streets and it still has the same effect on the victims. I'm not defending the WBC at all - as a gay man, and as a human being full stop, they sicken me. But you can't say you believe in free speech, if you don't believe in it for people whose opinion go against your own. You can't say you believe in the right to protest, if you don't believe in it for people who protest things you support.

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." It's about government censorship, in the American Constitution. I'm pretty sure it's like this in other countries with this right, as well. I mean, you can face consequences, and still have freedom of speech. Not to mention all the exceptions like death threats, copyright, hate crimes, harassment, minors, etc.
