    Freedom of speech

    http://www.electricretard.com/archive.html


    Should it be banned?

    Is there a limit to freespeech?
    ========================

    I think the're should be a limit; I really think art can subtly influence yourself; the effect of art is vicious, as water entering a dam and take it apart, slowly but surely.

    I do think that society is based on morality & civility. Which sometimes freespeech can trespass these things.

    ===

    If people think that promoting this website is.... offensive. Just said it to me, I'll remove the link!

    The only limit I can support wrt free speech is when it creates an immenent threat of violence (like "FIRE" in a threater or "kill that guy RIGHT NOW").

    Otherwise, it should be free and open. Art being able to influence others is not a good reason to ban it. That influence need not be a bad thing. And if you believe it is bad, then you can use your own free speech to counter those effects.

          Some people might prefer to be punched in the face than have to endure some of the things people say to them.

            Freedom of speech should be limited to only statements I agree with.

              Do we need law against books that is promoting disorder, rape, murder? (without targeting anybody directly)

              Do we need law against the sites that I sent below?

              While I understand your position, I think you give too much credit to the nature of man, which is for me, naturally instinctive and destructive. While you can transform a man to a monster by publicity, propaganda, art(which used the same channel to influence human emotion) in a very effective way by less time than it could take to civilize the man again.

                That "instinctive and destructive" nature manifests itself in governmental power as much (if not moreso) as it does in the actions of individuals.

                        Who is going to ban speech if not the government, or an entity acting in such a role?

                          free speech is fundamental to a free society.

                          imran put it very well.

                            Get out quick. Avoid the last-minute rush.

                              And? Government take our money through tax and few people will claim that government shouldn't do that. What I mean was, this is not an argument against the principle of limited freespeech or unlimited free speech.

                              Anyway... I just watched these cartoons, and I thought about if there is things that can be banned. My mind is not fixed on this issue,...
