Free speech IS MOST CERTAINLY LIMITED!
Yes, but it is only supposed to be limited when it harms the inherent rights of others, like yelling fire in a theater when there is no fire, or deliberate slander.
You can still yell fire in a crowded theater it’s free speech.. they don’t have to charge you
Come on now...yelling fire is not what defines free speech
You don’t yell fire in a crowded theater
because people will be injured fleeing in a panic
And, as far as the post you were replying to
Free speech is not supposed to be limited
Inherent rights are a matter of opinion
Deliberate slander is just that...that is not free speech
Free speech means I have a right to my opinion
regardless of who it offends
Two weeks ago I walked into the breakroom
as political based exchanges were taking place
I listened before I threw in my two cents...my voice carries
As I continued to refute what was being said
put in my 2 cents about immigration and defended MAGA
I could see some of the Hispanic employees
off to the side, but not actually entering the breakroom
Then I hear...LYNN
I look and there is the ASM
~I know you don’t work for xxxx xxxxx
but the policy is political discussion is off limits...
No politics at work~
So, I said...um, why are you singling me out?
~Because the others know~
Um, obviously not since there were
(as I’m pointing)1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 of us involved
and they all work for the company
Then, he tilts his head and gives me a look
you know the look...don’t start let it go...then I knew
Oh, now I get it...I’ve offended somebody haven’t I
He shakes his head yes
So, I place my clenched hands in front of my eyes
and in a baby voice, as if I’m crying....
Waa, waa, I’m offended...I’m a snowflake, I’m melting
waa, waa, my ears hurt...make it stop, I'm melting
Then I tell him, well I’m offended that I have to zip it
just because someone doesn’t agree with me
