I do not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.
Voltaire. Let's discuss?

I am genuinely interested as to whether people feel they have the right to express themselves.

I don't believe there is an "only", i believe speech restriction covers more than your one example. If you want to talk about the cartoons, it would be a different thread. This was for thinking on a concept.

I agree with it completely even there is a lot of bad that comes with it I believe people should be aloud to express their views (no matter how much I may disagree with them) without fear of being prosecuted.

I'm not too sure what your other question was, otherwise I'd have responded. If I go by one of your posts, there are loads of question marks there. If either of your other posts, none.
@Armand, I agree, it can cause a lot of controversy...but the fact it's then out there to be questioned should be a good thing, no? People SHOULD question things...

I believe 100% in the right to say what you like. I don't agree with what most people my age think, but I like the fact that we are free to believe whatever we like.

but you arent allowed to sya what you like are you ? its freedom of speech within the law...you cant point at a disabled person and should cripple..you cnat go to the theatre and shout fire fire.....you cannot deny the holocaust....so where do we really draw the line? andry gray lost his career and home for making a joke about a female lineswoman? is that freedom of speech...yet sharon osbourne did a show about female murderers told them they were right to do what they did and laughed along about a man whod had his penis cut off and bled to death....double standards everywhere |

You are the one presupposing specific examples. If you want to defend your right to mention the examples you did, you're in the right thread. If not, you should probably start a new one.

bottom line is the the line should be drawn equally across the board for everyone all religions and sexes all sexualities all disabled all cultures etc at the moment there are different rules for different groups of people. its a sorry mess

OK, we're on the same page. Who dictates that inequality? Is it the media, the government? Who really controls what we can or can't say?

Of course, it is very current culture based, what you can / can't say, but is it a case that there's always been speech censorship, just the parameters change?
