Freedom of speech is a two way street.
Freedom of speech unchallenged is not a right. That would violate someone else's right to freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is a two way street.

In Europe we call it 'freedom of expression'. Its what's known as a qualified right. That is that its a right that must be exercised un balance with other peoples rights. One that its often in conflict with is the right to privacy. Newspapers want to express things about peoples lives whereas some of those people want it to remain private. Side: I agree.

Basically yeah. If someone says: "The Earth is flat like a pancake and God made da sky blue and da birdies fly and Adam and Eve in a magical garden with rainbows and den dey ated a magical apple dat a meanie weenie snake told them to eat!" Then that's absolutely their right and i would never tell them they cant say that. However, i then have the freedom of speech to say: "You are so fucking retarded I'm surprised your heart remembers to beat, go color a picture and chew on crayons you waste of space" Side: I agree.

How can you violate someone else from their freedom of speech by using your own freedom of speech? I mean ... can you talk someone to silence? Talk if you want to talk, someone else's talk shouldn't keep you away from speaking, and if it is then it is your problem. Side: I disagree.

True freedom doesn't even exist, with out responsibility and consequences. That includes the things you're allowed to say, do, or express. It's illegal in America to reveal classified information about the government, by word of mouth, or by media. A student in any public school in America, can be put out of class, put in detention, or even suspended for the words they say or even don't say. As for it being a two way street, it's barely a one way street. Side: I disagree.
