If you live in the US, others have died to give you the right of freedom of speech.  That's how people are able to bash the president, government, religion, etc.

freedom is to feel free in what you want to do and say without hurting others, then you are free otherwise you are not free to hurt others. also there are sensitivity variations between people. in other words what you feel is normal possible to hurt other more senstive people.so freedom restricted on your own things not other's things. and ask yourself before saying anything under whatcalled freedom do you accept others if hurt you under the same word?\nregarding justice, simply like for others what you like for yourself.\nregarding democracy, is discussion to get a final decision most people agreed for it

Yup, I am a godless hell bound liberal who hates America.  i guess it doesn't matter that I am an eight year veteran of the United States Army or anything like that.  I defended your right to free speech as well, even though I am an atheist morally corrupt individual.

Absolutely. We do live in country that supports both free speech and freedom of religion. Being so, each religion is going to get bashed once in a while, even Christianity. But that's America. Land of the free. Atheists can say what they want, as long they aren't encouraging violent acts on people, and the same goes to theists to. I mean the KKK has their own website. There isn't much we can do about the promotion of hate. It's going to happen. The least people could do is ignore the message, but pay attention to the words. Again, I will say it:\n\nAS LONG AS A PERSON IS NOT INCITING VIOLENT ACTS, THEY ARE FULLY PROTECTED UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES.

I am happy to disabuse here.\n\nLiberalism does not denote support for any type of hatred. In fact, by definition, liberalism represents open-mindedness, erudition and individualism. None of this is at all related to "hatred".\n\nRemember that the terms "liberal" and "liberalism" are often thrown around as generalized political pejoratives, especially by people who themselves hold relatively closed-minded attitudes. Anyone can throw a word around pretending what it means, but the dictionaries are the final arbiters of semantic verismilitude. \n\nAre you a friend to the English language? Can you trust a dictionary? I am totally unafraid of dictionaries. Are you?\n\n\nLiberals do not like government intursion in personal freedom (into personal health and family, etc.), and also tend relatively to disdain militarism and violence and preparations for violence (which is not really all that "hateful", is it?).\n\n\nGood luck.

Its up to you.  You can let other people fight for your freedom if you are okay with that.  Enjoy.

Of course one cannot use one's rights as a defense of a crime.\n\nSome speech is a crime: inciting to riot, advocating the violent overthrow of the government, slander, libel, etc.  And freedom of speech also is not just "to express an opinion," as in artistic works or mere entertainment....\n\nIt is wrong to think of people "abusing their rights":  if someone kills someone with a gun, that is not an abuse of the right to bear arms, that is murder.  The whole idea of "abuse of rights" is a sneaky linguistic ploy by people who would like to abridge our rights, especially for their own ends.\n\nThe kind of speech you refer to, when not actually a crime, is referred to in law as "obnoxious speech" and it is protected by the 1st amendment - neo-Nazi and KKK stuff and so on, for example, that contain obnoxious statements about race and lifestyle.\n\nWe can't really have freedom of speech unless all speech is free, even vile speech.\n\nThe Constitution does not give us rights.  Rather, it forbids the government from abridging or prohibiting our rights, which are seen as inherent in being human, as being part the nature of a human being.\n\nSo rather than to call on people not to upset society so that it won't take away our rights, we should be doing what it looks like we do: condemn obnoxious speech openly and vigorously while being vigilant against attempts to curtail our rights as human beings.

No, hatred is not a criminal offense.  The deeds you do and things you say as a result may be.

Come get this white boy!  I'll mess your life!\n\nThat freedom of speach....  brought to you by a bunch of white guys.  If you hate us so much, why do you spend your time dealing w/ us?  simply go away!  Why would you want to subject yourself to all of the horrible things we are all about?

It's just a game support the ruler no matter how violently out of control he gets and if you don't you're a traitor/ unpatrioitic.\n\nOf course in the US, so called land of the free (haha excuse me while I collapse in hysterical fits of laughter) you're supposed to have freedom of speech but I think Bush is doing a pretty good job of abolishing that supported by his red necks who will still be waving flags when he locks them all up for 9 o'clock curfew.

It isn't anyone's place to tell you how you is right or wrong.\n\nI can tell you this. Hate uses up a lot of energy. \n\nI was face with a big forgiveness issue a few years back. I found for me that I first needed to define what forgiveness wasn't rather than what it was.\n\nIt is not saying it is ok what was done to me.\nIt is not saying I have to trust this person\nIt is not saying I have to let this person hurt me again.\n\nSo what did I conclude it was for me? For me it is just letting go and letting be. It freed me up to focus on going on with my life and establishing relationships with other people who would not be hurtful to me.\n\nMy two cents worth any way.\n\nI wish you the best.

"However, when did this country decide that hate crime language is O.K. to spew at a PAYING audience? Why shouldn't the group of people offended sue his *ss off?"\n\nUhh... when the First Amendment was ratified way back in 1776... It isn't "illegal", so the lawsuit would have no merit and be tossed on Constitutional grounds... By the way, I find your "hate crime language" comment highly offensive- expect to hear from my attorney!

Say what You will on the Yahoo, I'll always support freedom of speech no matter the content and how much I agree or disagree; it's a right of free People to voice themselves! I've had many violations because someone doesn't like my spiel, too bad for me; but so what? Look where we are and consider how little this crap really impacts anything, it's all just so much chatter anyway! Try and have fun with it, if Your truly a serious Person this is probably not the medium to enlighten or learn upon; it's full of People like me; who really don't give a flying rat's donut one way or the other. God Bless Missy!!

Depends on which side you are: if you are a slave to something (e.g.addiction) then it is "from".\nIf you are free, then you have freedom "for": anything, even for getting addicted :)
