I feel warm and fuzzy already

heh. Yeah, I think I've found a good middle though. My paper will show the importance of respecting free speech while also respecting the choices/history/whatever of the people. Everyone wins.

you dont have to promote hate speech just say that you cant tell anyone to think or say because it wouldnt work. we're supposedly a republic and not a totalitarianship.

sit on the fence, good idea.

Just make sure that over the course of the paper, you decide what YOU believe

Anyway, for my college prep class I gotta write a 7-10 page paper on freedom of speech and hate speech. My thesis is basically "Freedom of speech should not include hate speech" And I need a couple good points. Just anything that would spark a paragraph would help. I'm tired and pissy and mind-blocked right now.

Ideas?

My social studies teacher says, "you're allowed to say anything you want, that's your right, but just as long as it doesn't interfere with anyone elses' rights. [Eg: freedom to ___]"

This gives us freedom of oppression, what exactly is that?? Is oppression verbal, physical, mental?? Who decides and how is it determined that someone is being oppressed?

Sorry but your paper begs more questions than answers

your paper is like war.. if there's two side to fighting in the war.. they both think there the good guy... figthing for there rights for there beliefs so this world doesn't know who's right who's wrong.. cause the people we think are wrong think were the wrong ones.. so on and so on.. we all have to speak about whatever we want to talk about but there are ways in going about it that even if it does bother whoever else the way you go about writing something or saying something it can't really be classified as 'hate'
