I'm sick of this "freedom of speech" excuse

  • I don't get your point. Are you saying it's OK to say whatever you please only if others have the same right? Isn't that the way it already is?

    • What I'm referring to is how people act like freedom of speech entitles them to complete and irrevocable immunity from any (non-violent or otherwise illegal) backlash. Often when you go online and they hear about someone saying something offensive, people will often defend them and say it is his/her right to say it and that people have to right to complain about it. It's true that it is his/her right, but what annoys me is how people act like freedom of speech means that nobody else has a right to retaliate in legal ways.
