US Constitution: 1st Amendment
I wanted to find out from others, particularly Americans, the definition of "free speech". I often see (mostly in forums) people crying out how their freedom of speech is being violated when some mod or someone else "thumps" (for lack of a better word) them in conversation. While I love hearing others opinions, I recognize that "free speech", as per the Constitution, is about the gov't silencing someone and not a private forum.
From the US Constitution: Quote:
Opinions? Thoughts? (I've put this thread here for now but recognize it can/could get heated. I put it here in hopes that those who don't like the Red Zone will also comment but if it gets too heated, it may be moved to there).
