I agree, I think we should all be entitled to free speach. I think it is down to the individual to use commonsense, and not offend people unecissarily, and make sure they know what they are talking about. If someone is preaching hate and lying to others, coercing them into harming others, such as terrorist attacks then ofcourse this should be dealt with. I also think the media should take more responsibility. A lot of the news stations sell news as entertainment, rather than give a balanced story with appropraite facts. It's impossivle to be completely unbiased though.

I am against sensorship other than extreme cases to promote violence or other heneous acts. If we arent open to all ideas than we really arent free and are being controlled by some group of individuals who can literally pick and chose what we think by keeping the blinders on us. The funny thing is for all our freedom inside the U.S. we seem to have the most narrow minded opinions on this board there are alot of people on here who seem to have more open ideas that live in dictator or communist controlled countries. Makes me wonder if they arent at risk just by being on here or is it that our free country is the only one that is really keeping tabs on their citizens online??
