Freedom of Speech - A slight tangent on the Vile Rhetoric
Advertisements [?]
Okay,

We have Freedom of Speech! YAY!

I personally dislike it is synonymous with choice of expression (I don't like you! = You're a goddamned motherfucking cocksucker ass sucker')

But Freedom of Speech is NOT OPEN to any/all speech (we usually say can't shout FIRE! in a theater)

Limits freely placed on Freedom of Speech:

*Libel/Slander
*Inciting a riot
*Obstruction of Justice
*Perjury
*Committing Fraud

and then business related add-ons like bashsing your boss/company on a social medium.

That's my quick list.

Others?

(Just trying to counter some 'oh yeah, well I have FREEDOM of Speech'.. and I want to say 'yes, but...'
