Would you say that you are pro free speech?

@FreeSpirit1: Agreed….with limited/rare exceptions, there should be freedom of speech.

@FreeSpirit1: 1984, a great thought provoking but very boring and at the end downright violent book. Probably one of the inspirations for the MKUltra program. This booked was banned in the US in the sixties during the Cuban missile crisis.
Good book. Meant to tell the story of how a totalitarian regime could brainwash and control its populace by torture, electrocution and tv.
My point is however to mention, in light of such a book. Is the problem with quieting ones we disagree with, or that humanity is weak and easily controlled?
I'm just tryna say, free speech being about who you don't agree and will probably argue with. Is a very petty way to view the issue.

@twistedrope: I was giving one example, there are many of course.

@Capricorn: And to voice that opinion.

@Sicarium: absolutely. It's simply debating things. There will always be opposing ideas to every subject you can think of

@UserNameSW: But SHOULD every person with an opinion actually [i]go through [/i]with voicing it?

@zmedleff1: they can't be forced to voice anything. They are allowed to voice, if they choose to.
