Below is what I believe Free Speech should constitute. What do you think?

Sure, but people often forget when they make insulting statements that one has the right to say something back.

The beauty of freedom and free speech is that whether you agree with anything anyone says, the speech is still protected. This means the KKK has the same free speech as anyone. I think the KKK is terrible but I'd fight to the death to maintain their right to spew their BS garbage

so free speech already does constitute all of that. I don't understand your point.

just know that these are rights that people have in public. but a company or institution can create their own policies. so you don't have free speech at work. so if you say something at work, you can get fired, but you can't get arrested.

certain, defamation is defamation no matter if on line or on paper. besides the indisputable fact that, everybody is in many circumstances perplexed about what defamation is. Defamation is making a actuality which will be proved incorrect, which will reason someone to lose their popularity. interior the above celebration, it will be proved that the sufferer did not marry her stepbrother, so it replaced right into a blatant lie. besides the indisputable fact that, if the 'sufferer' replaced right into a serial killer, it does no longer be classed as defamation because it does no longer reason him to lose his popularity. Many insults aren't any further extremely defammatory, because they exhibit opinion, no longer actuality. If the blogger had said 'She is a ineffective tw*t'' it does no longer be defammatory because it would want to't extremely be shown both way. reviews are superb, yet you won't be able to make up statements and present them because the reality to smash a persons'' image. that is what this blogger did.

I am for free speech, but at the same time part of the problem of the world today is a lack of respect. There should be enough respect in certain situations for a person to use tact. These situations should include, but not be limited to: teachers, parents, elderly, the president (regardless of party), your country, etc.

WELL!!! i know there is no free speech here on A/Q, you best watch what you say or they will kick you off in a new york Second.

The First Amendment is more succinct and effective at getting the point across. How does your plan differ from that?

agreed

i dont think they should get arrested for it but do get punished in some way like when someone says "thats gay" i would say "ya thats so(person who says it)"

no.
