I can upset people but it's my freedom to be a dick so it's okay!

The limits to free speech end when the speech directly calls to violence

Or becomes harassment

But being offended at someones opinion is your problem to deal with

Or the fact that all this free speech relates to racism.

So you think some white guy can call some black guy the n-word and it's okay?

If your solution is to tell other people what they can and can't say, perhaps you should look internally as to why you're so butthurt over words

It's rude, but not illegal

***N I G G E R***

Yes we should be free to say whatever we want

Im allowed to say that

And this is why racism is strong in the U.S.

Shoudl you be allowed to say redneck?

Yes

That was a derogatory term for mountain dwelling citizens.

You can say it but on purposely being a dick to someone isn't fair.

But you should be legally allowed to say it

That's the point

You abuse freedom of speech to bully people.

You abuse PEOPLE by bullying them

I say the n-word ironically

Debater has a point.

You use free speech to express yourself in life

If you upset someone completely and make them go in tears but it's 'freedom of speech', then it's fucked up.

If people aren't allowed to talk about horrible ideas, they can't work out the nuance to change their mind

Yeha because that's called being an asshole

Harassing someone is not legal

Which you think is good?

No but I don't think it should be illegal

You can say whatever you want but you must accept the social consequences.

I dont think cigarettes are good, but they should be legal

I don't think jazz is great, but damnit it should be legal

I mean jazz has some good stuff, not the best though.

When I see something offensive and racist, I walk away

I'm a grown ass adult

I don't cry and force society to protect my fee fees

People handle things differently.

Yep

And I'm not responsible for other peoples inability to cope with mean things people say

That's their shit to deal with.

WE ALL have to deal with it
