Freedom of speech is restricted by definition. Take defamation, for example, most countries have laws against it even though essentially you're just using words.

Defamation has to be proven to have caused harm (not emotional) to be considered a viable claim.

Denying the Holocaust is forbidden in France for example because it insults the cultural memory. I don't think it's unreasonable.

I find that law ridiculous. I cannot stand Holocaust deniers. I still don't think they should have to hide their thoughts.

The idea that everyone should be able to say what they want any time, anywhere is a nice idea, but impossible in practice.

I wouldn't limit possibilities based on the limits of prudes.

As for the WBC, i think people were trying to forbid them from protesting at soldiers' funerals, should that be forbidden ?

Freedom of speech isn't covered in private functions. For example, you cannot say whatever you want in my house because it is my house. I can kick your ass out.

I mean at some point when you tell someone their son deserved to die, should freedom of expression really mean you could say it as much as you want with no repercussions whatsoever ?

In the legal sense, yes. That is not to say someone will not punch you in your dumb face for it.

Psychological damage is damage too, and i'm pretty sure some words are more damaging than a punch to the face, yet words are free and punches are not, there is a dissonance there.

You can choose to be damaged by words. It's much more difficult to dodge a punch.
