Do you think the following quote is a good reason to allow freedom of speech...?

...without jumping down the person's throat and insulting them ?
"It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
-Aristotle

I'm all for freedom of speech...I just believe there are a lot of things though that are better off left unsaid. This is one of those rights that unfortunately people now a days have taken too far. With rights and freedom comes responsibility...and that responsibility requires common sense, respect, and consideration. Everyone is entitled to their opinions, beliefs, and having something to say...and everyone should have the right to express those, but there are a lot of people who don't believe it's a two-way street and anyone who dislikes, opposes, or disagrees with them should not have that right. People just need to stop being so self-centered as none of us lives in this world alone nor do we own it.
