Do you think we should have full freedom fo speech, or do you think our freedom of speech should be bottled to a certain degree. For example, would you find it fair if people were promoting racial or prejudice thoughts onto the public causing verbal abuse?
In my opinion, as a White British male, I think that we should have freedom of speech so long as it doesn’t cause other people very serious harm. I.E. rascism, prejudice and neo-nazi views.
Also the Swastica is a very evil symbol and shouldn’t even be on the face of this Earth!
a lot of people don’t realize that freedom of speech comes with the responsibility and repercussions of free speech. To limit what one can say sets a very dangerous precedent. who gets to decide what’s proper and what’s not. People don’t have to like what you say but they have to respect your right to express yourself.
i agree that there are many hateful words and symbols that offend and can be hurtful. they should be discouraged-but not outlawed. it’s important for people to know what these things mean, the history of words and symbols,a nd why they are so bad. if we can’t remember the history where the bigotry and death occurred, we surely are doomed to repeat it.
Yes to a degree, but the political correctness of the liberal left has gotten way out of proportion.

Firstly – the Swastika is NOT an evil symbol. Many ancient civilizations and religions use the swastika as a symbol. It’s only been considered bad since Hitler. (try researching)
Secondly – Freedom of Speech is fine just the way it is. While we may not always agree with them, who are we to tell them they can’t say how they feel? No one. That’s wrong.
There will always been at least one person hurt by what someone says.

I would take you more seriously if you learned to spell "Swastika"…..
I completley disagree with you. Our "freedom of speech" should in no way be "bottled up" because if it was, it would only be a matter of time before everyone was completely silenced…
Sure, there are idiots running around heralding racism and other idiotic views and opinions, but instead of shutting them up, we just have to know that they’re wrong and hope that one day they may realize it as well..
