I like to defend freedom of speech, but there should absolutely be some limits. My favorite example is to not allow people to yell "fire" in a crowded theater. You can expand similar examples from there.
I don't believe you. Get over it.

And there should be -- when said speech results in physical harm, or slander/defamation having a financial impact (e.g. "General Cola has poison in it, don't buy it.") And in the latter case the penalty should be civil and not criminal, imo. |
