All freedoms are relative.  That a particular freedom is not absolute is no argument that there is no such freedom.  That's just playing word games.

If you don't refuse to recognize it then perhaps you should stop insisting on existence of "free speech". Repeating bullshit does not make it true.

In civilized countries speech is regulated and that's all that there is to it.

In the U.S., is a person free to say what you just said without a realistic fear of having their speech censored, punished, or restricted? Yes or no?

Dictionary would like a word with you, if you don't notice difference between being threatened and choosing to sacrifice one for comrades in arms.

Or perhaps it is trying to give a sight to the blind. I appreciate the allusion however.

Quote:What if I'm an actor reading lines about John Hinkley Junior or Lee Harvey Oswald? What makes that speech legal in your absolute world?

Don't play dumb. Pretending idiocy is amusing to certain point and past it becomes boring. You certainly can read provided link or even look for more if such simple point requires further elucidation.

I just said "kurwa mać". I suppose it is legal to say but I don't give enough of a shit to look through the law books just to explain simplest point to some online idiot.

You don't want to admit that "free speech" is bogus? No skin off my back. I only regret staring argument with a fool instead of simply ignoring you and playing Borderlands.

Ok. I'm checking out of this convo. Hope to catch you in a less intense discussion.

So, in other words, you are free to say what you said, but at the same time you are not free. Can you be any more irrational?

Go play with a crayons that's something more your speed. You're the same dumb clown that you're on AD so I won't waste more time on your verbal vomit. Welcome to my ignore list.

Good. Then I won't have to put up with any more of your moronic replies and cherry-picking.

Whatever you say sweet cheeks. Speech is free unless it isn't.

This is where we are today here in America.

RE: The Absurd GOP
There are certainly thing which are protected by free speech legislation here that isn’t protected in other countries. Whether or not that’s a good thing is up for debate. I suppose letting people spout off and profit from hate speech would seem ludicrous to people from other places…but it does have the benefit of letting us know who the loons are and what’s rolling around their largely empty heads. I mean, if my neighbor John didn’t feel free to tell me all of the ways The Blacks are destroying America it’d be harder to know how big a piece of shit he was.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
