I am NOT saying that people shouldn't be allowed to say stupid gibberish like this. I was referring to how people act like it gives them complete immunity from backlash from others. For example, someone can say stuff like "It was hilarious how the orphanage burned down and the kids died" but it doesn't mean that people aren't allowed to respond angrily by calling him a sick, heartless man. Online, I often see people say stuff like "You have no right to call him sick or heartless because he has freedom of speech". Freedom of speech goes both ways.
I'm sick of this "freedom of speech" excuse
