Freedom of speech is our most important ideal, and thus it must be protected. As soon as censorship is implemented, the entire system comes falling down, and people start censoring everything. Just look at what happened to Australia with their "internet filtering". It started as an idea to protect children, but suddenly it has become a tool that the government use to prevent the public knowing about things they ought to know about.
Yes, there should be limits to protect people (i.e. no swearing on TV before the watershed), and no public nudity unless you are in a designated area (like the nudist beaches
). However I see no reason why people should be censored in what they say. The whole point of free speech is that you can give a counter opinion to something you find offensive.
