Quote: I support freedom of speech because I believe I should have the right to say what I think.
Is there any philosphical underpinning that right, other than your 'belief'? |

| >>What are your reasons for supporting free speech?<<I don't think there is such a thing. To me it's more like what sort of speech is socially acceptable in a given situation? It all comes down to conformity. If I'm in a certain setting where it's not acceptable to talk about certain feelings than where is the freedom of speech? Therefore, a person can meditate instead. If I'm looking at my wall at a little sign that says FAR OUT a person would come along and say groovy. Little do they know it means Fear Anger Resentment out. |

| Political Correctness is the death of free speech. No longer are we able to say what we want without fear that we will get in trouble for it. |
