freedom of speech only goes so far but i think some people honestly think freedom of speech means you should be invincible and scream whatever thing you want to at someone without any consequences because it's just words

you telling someone to go kill themselves or shout some offensive deragatory remark about them should be excused because "Freedom of speech"

am i the only one who finds the freedom of speech excuse to let dicks be dicks a little stupid?

that's the thing though they'll try to hide behind freedom of speech and say you have no right to get mad about what they say cause it's america

so if you beat them up they can just call you a violent savage who can't understand their opinion

Freedom of speech does mean you can talk like a dick. It just doesn't keep everyone from thinking that you're a dick for doing so.

Most people who scream about freedom of speech have no damn idea what it actually means. It's definitely used as an excuse for jerks.

Yep as has been said, it does mean that.

You have to deal with the consequences but, you can legally do so, unless you incite a riot or something.

You have every right to identify someone who is being a dick as such. The line is supposed to be drawn at feeling a need to physically assault someone for some stupid shit they said. That IS illegal. We're supposed to be able to use our words and control our feelings, not resort to playground fist fights every time someone says something we think is mean.

Because saying whatever you want is freedom of speech. However, speaking in some ways can be considered harassment and/or threatening. Those have consequences to them.

Freedom of speech absolutely means you can be a dick. Unless you're doing slander, libel, or imminent threats your speech is protected.

What you're not protected from is consequences of your speech. From being fired, to boycotted, to just being ostracized from your community.

Freedom of speech means everyone can say anything that's basically not a threat of violence. The ones who annoy me are the ones that think it only applies to them though, or the people who start an argument that is obviously going nowhere (usually on a moral high horse) when nobody is trying to convince them of anything or attack them. It's a waste of time.

I disagree, I think every law should be replaced with making it illegal to be a dick or worse. Then legislators can stop making new laws for every new way to be a dick.

Well they are right in calling someone a violent savage if words trigger one to behave like one. Sometimes you have to call a spade a spade. That said I do not see how it is a misunderstanding of an opinion, many times it is repulsion of said opinion or being offended.

It is one thing to cling together and form safe spaces online banning dissenting opinions or offensive thoughts. Punching nazis is repulsive. Most of the people punching nazis (aka fragmented alt right protesters) would flee from battle with the third Reich if put on an army.

And you wonder why sites like 4chan are like they are. Every other major site will censor you to hell and back, without remorse. In an effort to keep things "civil", most sites in general are reminiscent of totalitarian regimes.
