I think free speech is truly an issue in America. People DO say what they wish, however, because of public outcry from religious, political, and special interest groups, it's censored.

People are beginning to ignore that with freedom of speech, someone somewhere WILL get offended, and they don't like that. So they have to censor those who share different viewpoints.

Granted, a lot of offensive speech is outright offensive, but as long as no actions are taken, then it should NEVER be censored.

Call me a Socialist, and ACLU ally, a communist, terrorist, whatever. People should ALWAYS have a right to say what they want, when they want, and how they want.

Like I always say- NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT NOT TO BE OFFENDED.
