What really is free speech/free expression? [View All]

[HardWorkingDem]

After events of the last couple of days, I've really been pondering this question.

To those here, what do you consider free speech and expression?

Are there limits? And to have totally free speech and free expression can their be limits?

For example, what is this concept as to when it comes racial, gender or sexual orientation comments events.

I am familiar with the yelling "fire" in a crowded theater and that sort of thing, but what else?

You almost can't throw down a blanket "if it doesn't hurt anyone" because that would then limit the speech of many who spout off hurtful comments. So can it only be a physical hurt or mental as well?

Just curious.
