You may have free speech within reason, but we may not have the most abusive, ill thought-out ridiculous views that enters someone's mind to be expressed. If you don't draw the line at abuse, where will you draw it at? Murder?
I want you to consider what you just wrote: You wrote 'I wondered how long the TiBB speech supporters'
As if we all know there is some crazy 'free speech' people. Those guys again! As opposed to what? Then we find out. You.

You decided free speech 'within reason' and went on to suppose, free speech, somehow taken to it's logical conclusion would end in murder.
No.
Actually no. It would not.
But if you want an example of what happens when you have a government that actually controls what can be 'said' and deems what is bad think-speak and disallows, censors and eliminates 'really mean words'?
Former Yugoslavia did that. (Just a the UK is now copying) and the inability of people to settle battles with words led to some of the most horrific ethnic cleansing and revenge murders Europe has ever seen,
well, not counting millions murdered in the Soviet era where 'bad words' were outlawed.
North Korea also has laws against 'speaking bad insults'.

I mean seriously, I wish you could understand just how downright HORRIFYING it is that you could even be talking like you are,
absolutely horrifying!
Maybe we can make some laws to have you arrested for saying such offensive things that really insulted my culture?
