Do you think that it is ok to exercise my right to free speech?

As a North Korean, I can attest to the greatness of free speech and the Almighty Saint Kim Jung Il of the Glorious Motherland. Benevolent Leader has blessed me with the power to speak my mind and his bountiful generosity and elegant presence shine upon my words God bless his soul.

is this a question or a statement or a rant?

You seem to have made your mind up "America is not a safe place....".
And then you ask us whether it is okay to "exercise your right". You already know that it is okay to exercise your right, which is probably why it's called a right.

why go through all the work of disguising a statement on IIN? Obviously you got worked up over something... why don't you just tell us about that something? We'd rather read through that.

Free speech doesn't exist. There are plenty of things I'm not allowed to say, even though they are true. I'd be sued or jailed because certain institutions don't like their truths to be too known.

Speak your mind but ... be aware of the limitations of "freedom of speech"

The amendment as written ONLY pertains to Congress.

That means, others are not obliged to listen, agree, or even air or print your ideas. And others have the right to shun or boycott anyone who says things they do not agree with.

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.

OK WHAT DO YOU MEAN OK. Its far more than ok for you to exercise your unalienable right. You should be exercising it at much as you like.

depends on the questions you want to ask. what are the questions? i dont understand. physical risk?

Something like free speech is always hard to obtain. Since America in a sense has freedom of speech everyone should use it to their full advantage. If we become afraid of what can happen then why do we even need it? You can't risk your freedom of speech over threats because then our future generation will lose that freedom because we didn't stand up for our rights. Every generation has to make sacrifices for the next and make up for the previous‘s mistakes.

You really don't want to agitate peoples minds but at the same time you can't be afraid of saying what you feel. If you are afraid of anything in the world, keep your mouth in silence. It will help you see things better. However if you are not considering other people in your argument it might not turn out so well (in your well being or at others well being). Learn cause and effect and a student shall always learn before he teaches, don't be a fool. Besides, everything is relevant.
What you think now will most certainly change in the future. Only things involving God and esoteric things can stay the same.

Remember that the first amendment is followed by the second. More than once, I have had to exercise the second in order to exercise the first.

Completely depends on the time and place. I mean technically you have the right to say you love black people at a KKK meeting, but it probably really isn't a good idea.

Can this example be more vague?

Freedom of speech is great so long as you don't use it to step on someone's rights. Are you toying with slander?

Use your best judgement. I love freedom of speech and exercise it regularly. But it doesn't prevent others from reacting. And I don't think questions are the problem as much as speaking opinions as truths.

It reminds me of something a friend said to me, "speaking in truisms does not solve the polarity problem."

So speak, but understand that oposing view points are out there. Which ones are you willing to face.
