Should we ban Freedom of Speech in America?

I don't understand why it's okay for people to say any type of insults. Why can't we just be accepting and tolerant, not bigot and ableist? When will we have the speech controlled and moderated Western Hemisphere we desire?

Please understand that this is an online community.

This should explain it.

Why should this guy have the right to call people an asshole, hate them, tell them to leave and then continue to have more freedoms then the guy they pushed out?

This is why Marxism works. Everyone's equal.

They are EXPLAINING how it works for ANY online community. Be it Deviant Art, Fur Affinity, Miiverse, Monster Hunter Frontier, Guild Wars, World of Warcraft, or even League of Legends.

You agree to the creator's terms. Breaking those terms as stated in the TOS can and will result in consequences.

Marxism is a socioeconomic theory that deals with the production and distribution of goods and services. It is not a system of law or government, though people often try to turn it into the basis for such.

(Yes, I know this is more bait)

At least you know exactly what you are taking a bite of.

That's some pretty good bait. I honestly found it hard not to post a legitimate reply to it.

ahem

Freedom of Speech was designed so that Americans could spreak openly and freely against a corrupt government without fear of being tossed in Jail. However, people now think it means to say what you want without any consequences.

This is like shouting fire in a crowded building or shouting in a restaurant about how the Chef undercooked/overcooked your food. In the first scenario, that is considered a safety hazard, in the second you are disturbing other people who are trying to enjoy their meal.

You're in full right of your opinions and views, however it does not mean you are allowed to put down, demean, berate others who do not share your viewpoint and thus are free to either leave or ask you to exit especially in an establishment they own. Internet is not America, it's more like Anarchy with some diplomacy, however are run by community-driven ideals.

Think of it as like a private business: you either agree to the rules they set or not.

Americans. Think they own the whole planet. Sigh.

Americans are not the only people who have free speech, or talk about free speech, or have idiots who want to take it away. You're from NA, you know not all NA players are Americans. You should know better than this.

Are you talking to me or to the post creator?

Hmm... How to put this...

Yes, I was talking to you, but I also managed to reread the OP's post without reading the title, so it seemed like you pulled Americans out of nowhere. Sorry about that.

Yeah... cause the long history of government censorship throughout recorded history has gone so well.

Egyptians... (Slavery, torture, religious persecution) Romans... (Crucifixion sounded pleasant for speaking out against the government) British... (Ever heard of Australia? Cool to be exiled to an island that was mostly a gigantic swamp that could kill you with an insect bite) French... (that guillotine thing sounds fun...) Spanish... (NO ONE EXPECTS THE SPANISH INQUISITION!) South Africa... (Apartheid) Germany... (Those concentration camps were for their own protection...) Russia... (Syberia is nice this time of year... I swear...) China... India... Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq...

And this list goes on... and on... and on... and on...

How about before you open your dumb trap again (yes, I'm hating you for saying what you said, deal with it) you realize the alternative is far, far worse than you could ever imagine?

Sorry little liberal dummy but the world isn't all rainbows and unicorns and you have every right to complain about that because you have freedom of speech... THANK GOD.
