Depends: I for one believe that no man or Government should or can tell me or anyone else what the fuck we can say , BUT , it shouldn't or doesn't mean that you can say what you want if it offends someone , meaning being a uneducated dumb fuck just spouting off at the mouth on issues you really have no knowledge of.

Say whatever the heck you want. Just be ready to deal with the consequences if you DO happen to offend someone. Stick up for what you believe in.

Yes, 99% though.

I support Freedom of Speech so long as that one's words doesn't incite violence or lead directly to violence against another person.

Examples:

1. One cannot get into a black person's face and calling them the golden word, as it's obviously going to end up in murder.
2. One cannot hold a rally and then convince people to start a coup or something (crowds of people are idiots and would do something like that if worked up enough. Though, if the times were bad enough, then this actually would be ok to overthrow a shitty government.)
I disagree on #1.  I think you have every right to stand up to someone and call them by every ephitet in the book.  And when he knocks your head off your shoulders, that man may validly claim that he was provoked by your speech.

Speech has concequences.  If you want the freedom to say what you want, accept the responsibility and the concequences for what you say.
