Is speech free?

Question

Rants welcome.

Answer 1

No

well sometimes only in those little sections they put aside for it

Answer 2

The first amendment to the US Constitution says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

But as the slogan puts it so well, Freedom isn't free. Many have spilled blood and given their lives to protect this freedom.

Answer 3

  You're talking aren't you? lol.

Answer 4

Speech isn't even close to free.  Public Schools see to that by indoctrinating our nation's youth with the constant assurance that they have NO rights.  Then you have law enforcement---everyone from the local Sheriff to Homeland Security, just waiting for you to say something that could be construed as a threat or as disrespect.  Then, take government out of the equation, and you have a society and surburban culture that responds to every shocking statement with TORCHES.

Having an opinion costs you.
