[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1473451, member: 4319"] Indeed. Should there be a restricting it? Absolutely not. But some people seem to be confused on the meaning of "free speech". Free speech is not license to say anything you want without repercussions. Walk into a barrio or black neighborhood in any major city on a Sunday afternoon and start yelling slurs...then tell me about your free speech being violated. I 100% believe they should have the right to say whatever they want. But why are they protected by law enforcement for what they want to say? Can I call TPD and tell them I want 5 officers to come with me to the bar on Saturday night, because I'm fixin' to tell a bunch of drunk bikers I diddled their woman and slapped their mother, and don't want to get punched? What is the line that separates calling people at a funeral ****, and me walking into a bar and calling the biggest, drunkest dude there a ***? Is it my right to go into a bar and do that, and expect the police to ensure I leave with all my teeth? I'm being a bit hyperbolic and Devil's Advocate-ish (and I think I know your answer already), but there is a point there somewhere. Mainly just trying to get some discussion going. [/QUOTE]
