No, free speech doesn't mean you can say whatever you want without repercussion. at least, not in America.

What repercussion are there for "having a go"?

We will think of something.

 

[Gerry Seymour]

Of course it is, free speech etc etc.

Free speech makes it allowable, but that doesn't necessarily make it "okay". There are things people are legally allowed to say, but which I don't consider "okay".

Before we go down the freedom of speach road.... lets start here

First Amendment to the United States Constitution

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

However these are not covered by the first amendment

•Obscenity
•Fighting words
•Defamation (including libel and slander)
•Child pornography
•Perjury
•Blackmail
•Incitement to imminent lawless action
•True threats
•Solicitations to commit crimes


sorry, I'm on a word meaning bent today....OK, carry on...I'll go

It's actually "speech." .

Depends. Around here, someone might call you out for being rude, and if it goes too far, you might be characterized as anti American.

the irony is not lost on me

 

[Touch Of Death]

Free speech means we can't call the police, on you. Martialtalk, can act in it's best interest, by banning you, and you can't call the police on them, either. That is what free speech means, and that is that.

 

[Paul_D]

you might be characterized as anti American.

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

 

[Steve]

You say that as if it's a bad thing.

It's a choice. no problem as long as you aren't whining about consequences.

We will think of something.

Will it involve guns bacon or Jesus?

 

[Steve]

Will it involve guns bacon or Jesus?

Is that a multiple choice question? If so, I would say, "All of the above." This is, after all, America.
