This is such a tiring defense as to how we can limit people's free speech. Find something new.


From the OP:

I guess my line of thinking is either you have it or you don't.


If you can't yell fire in a crowed theatre-

then by the OP - we don't have free speech.

I'm not incapable of picking up on sarcasm, but people who say we do and follow with this or "except" make me laugh, then cry.


Yeah if you figured sarcasm you would be correct.

I'm trying to recall. . . are you always this nutty?

Seriously, think about the First Amendment, its context, history and, most importantly, its practical meaning and application in a civil society. I sometimes think people on this board are living in a sort of political theory version of Dungeons and Dragons.

Watch TV from 1950. Censorship at its worst. 99% of today's TV would be banned in 1950.

yell fire in a crowded theater and find out

clearly there are limits to freedom of speech

libel or slander someone publicly

use a corporate giant's slogan or logo

place the f word on a sign in your front yard

The example is actually 'falsely' yell fire.

but how long before taking a position on policy or criticizing a government official is "inappropriate"



This has already been attempted. Though they failed the first time, they're trying again.

quote:

It is all very well for Reid to limit his rhetoric to “the rich” — “the flood of special-interest money into our American democracy,” he averred grandly this week, “is one of the greatest threats our system of government has ever faced” — but there is no evidence whatsoever that his preferred solution would not affect the little guy with just as much, if not more, force. Had Citizen United’s appeal been rejected — as the collective Left appears devoutly to wish that it had been — the federal government would have quite literally banned the release of a film that was critical of Hillary Clinton. Why? Because the film would have interfered with the way that the Congress of which she was a part wanted the election to be run. To whom exactly were our self-appointed better angels sticking it?
