Do South Africans consider?

Question

that there should be any limits at all to their freedom of speech.

Answer 1

In the real world YES!

But here NO...let them speak their minds. Let's see what pours out of people's mouths if they have the chance...what they truly believe and think. Nobody would guess that some people on here, if met on the street, are such bitter and nasty people. It is better to know that they exist.

Answer 2

No limits. You should be able to say exactly what you want. Of course there should be monitors, like watching people who say something like "I'm gonna bomb the government buildings down with the government" or something like that because things like that do happen and they end up doing it.

And as for hate speech... one person's hate speech is not hate speech to another. On something like the internet you should be allowed to say anything. That's proper democracy.

Answer 3

Some South Africans (especially in this forum) limit peoples freedom of speech everyday! By reporting one another and not letting people speak freely or by not attacking the question asked but by attacking the questioner. This forum is an exact replica of the "New South Africa" - corrupt, no respect, trolls, no freedom of speech whatsoever, etc etc.

Answer 4

No there should be no limit

Yes verbally cause that can be a problem or coz a problem but electronically no limit

Let them speak there minds, thorough that you can learn a lot of that person and from that person

His state of mind ,his education ,his upbringing do he have respect or not do he care or not

Answer 5

Is there freedom of speech in South Africa, I don't think so unless you are black.

Wasn't it Mbeki and the rest of the ANC **** Troop, who were singing ' Kill the Farmer ,Kill the Boer.' at makaba's funeral

If I was to sing ' Kill all of the kaffirs.' anywhere in SA, I would be imprisoned and the media and news would be all over it like a syphilis rash, and I would be portrayed as Satan.

So to answer your question, YES there should be freedom of speech but it would upset all of the commie liberals and their black boeties.

EDIT, So who wants it to end? You call it racial hatred, I call it racial reality, the sooner that the world wakes up and sees what these darkies are really all about the better for us, don't you think?

Answer 6

The only limitation should be on promotion of hatred and racism. The rest should be a free ride.

Answer 7

There already ARE limitations to freedom of speech.

General Limitations:

Advocacy of hatred based on race, gender, sexuality etc.

Incitement of violence.

Pornography.

Cant remember the Specific Limitations, but whats stopping you from finding the Constituition and reading for yourself, hmmm??

Its called:

   -   wait for it    -

RESEARCH

Skyli - Youre so right its frightening.

Answer 8

no it's freedom of speech why limit you should speak freely but not in this site

Answer 9

Yes. Hate speech should be banned!

Answer 10

Yes, no hate speech... aside from anything else, it's hurtful

Answer 11

Why should I be prevented from speaking my mind just because a few furby lovers don't like it.

Like Mandela said once if you do not like the tv program then just switch it off.

Or is it one mans hate speech is another mans call to arms,

we either have freedom of speech or we don't, the truth all ways hurts.... the liberals.

If you do not like it then go and play somewhere else.

edit, Sure they can say what they want, I have no problem with either of them spewing their racial hatred at us, it very rarely makes sense and never has any substance and they refuse to debate anything on here, so people with any intelligence see it for what it is.

What kind of hypocrite would I be to say that I want freedom of speech but refuse to let someone with an imposable opinion not have there's?

With freedom of speech you either have it or you do not and we do not have it in SA or on here.

Edit

We, white people do not seek closure on here, we want the world to see what these white hating blacks are all about and this forum is the ideal place for it, they have destroyed my country with their corruption and lies and now they seek us out here to do the same.

Fortunately, here they can only get our accounts suspended but at home they will kill our families and rape our children, here we will continue until the bozies are annihilated.

Answer 12

However, hatred and racism should not be considered as freedom of speech. South Africans laws were suppose to be strong on this.
