Topic #4
I totally agree with that. You are who you are nobody should make fun of you because it's you .
i also agree.people should have freedom to be equally treated despite who they are.
Mod

I am an animal activist, and have been wanting to be a proticiner (is that the right word?) for a while now. And I agree that anyone has the right to do anything that expresses themself within limits. And when I say limits I mean that you can't run naked around the city, and say that you're "expressing" yourself.

I can agree with you there.

What about when what you want to say is offensive to another?
Of course u have rites the government cant make rules to hide wat u think
However, there is no right to be stupid. :)
I am 50-50. What if they decide to express themselves with a gun where they want to and how they wanted to. That wouldn't be fair. But then we should have the right to talk about our religion, likes, dislikes, and things like that.

Absolutely Not! I'm actually a believer in free speech (freedom of expression). However, I do not believe in complete, absolute free speech(freedom of expression). I believe there need to be limits. For example I do not believe a person should be able to go into a crowded theater and scream FIRE!!! This could excite a riot and lead to injuries. One shouldn't be able to do that and then claim the right of free speech (freedom of expression)afterward. I do not believe you can say anything you want about another person and then claim the right of free speech. If that were the case, if you didn't like your neighbor, you could tell everyone in the neighborhood he's a child molester and claim the right of free speech(freedom of expression) for it.
No, while we do need free speech, we can't have totally free speech. There must be limitations.
So sure express yourself, but do it within reason and no, not in ANYway and ANYwhere ANYtime.
I particularly wish that guy that's in front of me in the gym who keeps farting and stinking me out would curb his freedom of expression. I really don't want to smell that. Have some manners. Express that in the bathroom.
I'm pretty much with Irene. You have the right to free expression as long as you don't exercise that right in a way that infringes on someone else's rights. She already gave great examples of this, so I won't bother adding any. This limit applies not just to the right of free expression, but to all rights. For example, you have a right to practice whatever religion you want, but not if that religion requires human sacrifice, etc.
No human sacrifice? awwwwwwwwwwwwwwlol

I disagree though the constitution allows it
The consititution doesn't allow everything, all the time. There are limits on how public and offensive you can make it. It just said no laws preventing the free exersise of it.
True: Human Sacrafice is not allowed because you would be charged with murder though I'm not sure if you could appeal your case because of freedom of religion could you?
No way. Human rights and safety trump religious freedom.
Okay good I was afraid that they could and then I would be all "OH MY GODESS CARMELLA, SUSANNAH! PETITION!!!! WE MUST TAKE THIS TO SUPREME COURT!!!"
Mod
No, it doesn't allow it. In fact, in some ways it's illeagal.
People don't have the right to be mean or stupid. :)

Violence is an art form, I say people should express themselves with violence more often.
But your right to art stops at other people's right to safety.
What the government says their right to safety is? Or what I say their right to safety is?My votes create the laws (so they say) so I'll just skip the middle man and make my own rules.
"2225408 What the government says their right to safety is? Or what I say their right to safety is? "If your idea of violent art is beating up people, you are hurting them ,and their right is to not be randomly be hurt by you.
It is still not your right to hurt them. WHere would the world be is random acts of violence were okay?

Jayda. We must now make love.
Well, it depends... are you a conservative? B) Just kidding. I agree with you!That will only happen if we marry, H =P
Haha xD What should we set as the date?
Hmmm...Well how long does it take to get a sex change, because you're getting one first. I'm not marrying some chick.But we can still make love...
I'm laughing so hard right now xDThere is no way I'm getting a sex change. I enjoy being a girl <3 You'll have to get the sex change.
.....Already you are ordering me around. You're just like your mother!
Hm... See, I need to be the wife if I'm ordering you around! =P That's what wives do!
But I watch too much Oprah to be a straight man.
I watch Oprah, as well. AND Dr. Phil! xD You can be the husband that I force to watch Oprah and secretly likes it but won't admit it. And I'm sure that there are straight men who do watch it :) It can be our little secret.
Well I watch Oprah, Phil, The View, AND Tyra!
I watch Oprah, Phil, Tyra, ANTM, So You Think You Can Dance, American Idol, and Dancing with the Stars!
