Do you think there should be limits to free speech? If so, what do you think they should be (and why)?
criticizing the gvt during a time of war should be treason, and firing squad
Criticizing the commander in chief or protesting him should land you 5 years in jail.
The media should only be allowed to report good news of the war effort.
(oops sorry, I was imagining I was a republican right winger)
Yes, anything that incites a riot.
No.
And it is the Mob's fault for being incited, not the inciter.
how can you deside what is free speech and what isnt
racism
No,otherwise it wouldn't be free speech.
Answers:
Remember the first Amendment and free speech.It was put there to protect all form`s of speech not just the popular form`s of speech. So i do not think that free speech should be limited has long as you do not say or do anything that will hurt any one Physically. Just like vanessa c say`s if you do not like what someone has to say just turn around and walk away.
NO,,,,this is america,,,if you dont like what someone has to say simply walk away.
Nah! You should be able to say anything as long as it has some truth to it! Blacks have been spouting hate about whites being devils for years and that is obviously a sick twisted falsehood, but they have not been prevented from saying it! Come to think of it, there is no truth to it so maybe you should start there if you want people to stop spouting false hate! Otherwise Im good!
Example: the N word
In France they had to pass a law agaist saying the Armenian-Christian genocide in Turkey never happened.
That horrible 'ethnic cleansing' inspired Hitler's 'Final Solution to the Jewish Problem'.
My mom's parents...my grandparents died in a Nazi death camp, but thankfully mom was hidden and smuggled out to Europe to safety.
All over Europe there are laws against denying the well proven genocide of 30 milliion Jews.
