Should there be ANY limitations on Free Speech?
Look at the posts on [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_Homophobic-boy-yelling-at-churchgoers-egged-on-by-/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60131903]this thread[/url] and [url=http://www.bungie.net/7_N-Korea-should-blow-up-America/en-us/Forum/Post?id=60132900]this one[/url]
In it we see Off-Topic'ers voicing an opinion that what was said should be punishable. My favorite was for the call of a "Government created database" of when people say things anti-American. (lolreallykiki?)
So, there obviously are strong feelings on the matter. What are your thoughts?
...and feel free to look at everyone's post history to find instances when they said they are for total free speech, and then posted something contrary to that. Allow no hypocrisy in this thread.

1 ReplyI think that exceptions should be made for situations where there is "clear and present danger" (like shouting "fire" in a crowded theater where there's no fire), and when there is a clear direct, proven need for restrictions. For example, I worked as an election judge last year. While I was at the polls working, I wasn't allowed to try to influence people, or talk about politics with voters at all. Candidates can't talk to people or electioneer within 100 feet of the entrance to the polling place, either. I think that those restrictions are reasonable.
