If they do know that you are smart enouggh and know exactly what your saying then they can take that right away from you whenever they want. If they don't like what you say they they will take it away from you... AKA they will take all of our rights including freedom of speach and freedom of the press and all of that and flush it away like it never happended. be prepared for it. sooner or later it will happen.

At best, it will be a fuzzy line. I think it's best to restrict speech that's derogatory. We already limit speech in a small way by making libel and slander illegal.

Of course not. I still don't know where to draw the line, though.

Perhaps. But if we're going to argue about relativity, than the whole thing falls apart anyways. We can't make everyone happy.

But what is the right to happiness? How do we define it legally? Can't it be completely different for different people?

To draw the line would be at the point the speech ignites violence or promotes hatred twords a certin ethnicity, religon, or sexually oriented group.

Why not? As long as they do it amicably, why not? I think the line gets drawn when the speech itself is directly hateful and/or encourages or supports violence. Speech itself is useless until someone takes it and puts it into action.

I think that this is a very interesting question but I'm unsure of the answer. On one hand, total free speech is great, but I think we must draw the line somewhere. Should religious groups be allowed to try to convert people?
