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.
