yes, but I do get what you're saying, freedom of speech is probably the most abused amendment, it gives people the right to say hurtful/controversial things and then hide behind the Constitution. the first amendment was created so the government would over-step its boundaries on citizen's right, and so that the citizens can have the right to concerning the governments/their countries activities.

but I wouldn't have anyone limiting freedom of speech; it goes to the saying "give him an inch, and he'll take a mile" giving the power to someone to limit the very fundamentals of our rights will lead to no good.if what you find to be offensive, you also have to right to speak up against it, go on youtube/blog/write to your local news organization, you have a right to be heard and that's what the the freedom of speech allows you to do.
