Temp Debates #8

[Sterling]

Freedom of speech should be a right everywhere. If a person with drastically differing views from yours wants to speak, then let them. Even if said person has an intent to destroy a certain part of the government.

And thus the monster raving luny party

I am not sure what you mean by this. Are you referencing the fact that I said I believe it should be a right everywhere, or something else.

It's the name of a political party in the UK.

Yes, they should be able to. There's no difference between a Democrat, Republican, Fascist, Green, Liberal, or any other party. Besides the beliefs, they're all hell-bent on obtaining support and will lie in order to do so.

Although, our smaller parties obviously do this on a much smaller scale.

"Yes, you Republicans and Democrats can spout bullshit all day. No, fuck you you fascist Nazis!" Uh, what?

lock in a bit, if this debate loses popularity. A stale debate is not good.

You can't truly have free speech without it. Like any 'right' there will always be people who abuse it.

Depravo, I don't think expressing an unpopular opinion is "abusing" free speech, its unpopular speech in particular the 1st amendment is supposed to protect.

If someone uses the freedom in an attempt to deny others the same freedom then I consider that an 'abuse' of free speech. Unfortunately we can't prevent this without becoming hypocrites.

Think about what you just said. Think hard.
