I think free speech is probably the coolest thing we have in this country, and again, you can label it hate speech and dismiss it, and then you're allowed to censor it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Free speech is a valuable commodity, which we preserve and protect, but there quite rightly is restriction on free speech in the best interest of the good order of the community and common sense.
Free speech is the cornerstone to every right we have.
With true free speech has to come an understanding of when and when not to use it. But you can't legislate that. It must be voluntary - especially in a world where a whisper can reach a million people in an eye blink.
I always think the true test of free speech is when someone says something you don't like.
Quite frankly, I think political correctness is the worst form of censorship. You're not allowed to speak your mind unless you're black, or unless you're a terrorist, or unless you're an Arab or a minority people. Then you can say what you like. But if you are like a lot of us you are not supposed to say certain things.
I'm a free speech bigot. I don't like censorship; I just don't think it's a good thing.
Better a thousandfold abuse of free speech than denial of free speech.
Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself.
It's always easy to get people to condemn threats to free speech when the speech being threatened is speech that they like. It's much more difficult to induce support for free speech rights when the speech being punished is speech they find repellent.
You know, everybody believes in free speech until you start questioning them about it.
