Too many people mistakenly think free speech = everyone gets a turn on the microphone with equal time and gets to say their bit and no one can say anything back. That's not what it is. |
Thank you.

Everyone has the right to a platform. That's what America was founded on. If you don't like it, I would recommend moving to a country where you have freedom* of speech instead.
As far as the government is concerned: if you don't like it, then vote. And I don't mean on the president- we're already two failed elections into this century (Bush lost the popular vote to Gore, too). Vote smaller. Vote in mayoral elections, vote senator elections. House elections. Every election- vote it in, and make your voice heard. Because they certainly aren't checking forums for who you want to vote for, or we'd be in the eighth glorious month of President Sanders.
There are supporters for everything. There are even people out there who legitimately find Superman 64 to be a good game. Let that sink in. So again, if you don't like it, make your voice heard and go vote. |
Liking Superman 64 isn't dangerous.
Being a nazi is dangerous. These people ruin the world when they allow their opinions to misinform others.
Free speech means we should be allowed to shut down these people. I wouldn't want a pro pedophilia rally for the same reason I wouldn't want a white supremacy rally. There's a complete difference between voicing your opinion and voicing dangerous beliefs.
We disagree with each other often, but I still think you have the right to express yourself. Why? Because you aren't going to hurt others with your beliefs anytime soon
