RE: Censorship is fine when it suits me.
It's hard to argue with that logic, especially since I don't know what some of the words are supposed to be.
My personal view is that you have freedom of speech, unless you libel or slander someone, that shit is supposed to be illegal...however, you are not free from the consequences of the things that you say, especially if you're on a government watch list somewhere...
Yeah, you've found the point of my article.
People always say: "You have freedom, unless..."
You say, "You have freedom of speech, unless....
It's illegal?
Well, what if racism or sexism was made illegal? What if file-sharing was illegal?
What if all porn became illegal?
What if speaking any speech more complex than "Today is a good day. Praise God and country." became illegal?
At that point, I would say that there is no freedom of speech.
