Requested stamp by BlazingDragonLord ΒHe's what he said:
I've seen lots of people posting rather rude comments on dA lately, but when I respond to them I get excuses such as "I can say what I want because I have Freedom of Speech!" or "You must be Anti Freedom of Speech!" Okay look, just because they're not fond of your words doesn't mean they dislike Freedom of Speech. They're unhappy at the way you'reΒ using it, as opposed to Freedom of Speech itself.
Alright, you're probably gonna get on me for not knowing what Freedom of Speech means. But I do, it's where you can express your opinion freely without any setbacks. But you're going to use this rule to say the most hurtful and disrespectful things you can think of? No, that's not how Freedom of Speech should be used and it makes you look like an arrogant jerk with absolutely no good morals.
Bottom line, there's no excuse for being mean, let's be more open-minded and respectful about what we say.
Yes this stamp is free to use, you don't have to ask

I fully agree with this, while i do support freedom of speech, that doesn't give you an excuse to be a jackass to everyone. Freedom of speech
does not mean freedom from consequences.
Honestly, i see freedom of speech more as a privilege than a right. I know, i know, it IS a fundamental human right, but it's one we are lucky
to have. There are places in this world where freedom of speech doesn't exist, where you can be arrested or even executed for saying the
wrong thing. I am thankful that we never have to live in such horrible places, and as such, while i do fully support freedom of speech, i don't
abuse it, because i know how lucky i am to have that freedom.

Everyone should be allowed to speak their minds and state opinions without harm. However how you use such a freedom can not only liberate you but also backfire. How so? If someone is applying for a job, scholarship, grant, loan, or for an interview and the seeker uses foul words, certain slang, or go off topic; that person won't get the job, promotion, loan, or anything offered if other better candidates. Heck, folks have been rightfully so thrown out of establishments and residences for profanity, telling specific jokes, and making threats. Some knuckleheads have to raise false alarms like saying fire in a crowed theater or bomb on a plane. Threatening others crosses the line because you committed a crime or are planning one by breaching someone else's safety. Plus jerks and liars aren't taken seriously by most honest folks.

Thank you! I can relate to this stamp since it happened a similar thing to me, rudeness is not equal to freedom of speech, no need to be rude when you can be polite and can really use freedom of speech.

Only through corrupting the most important amendment is it exploitable and therefore made useless.

Believe it or not, contrary to the common belief, freedom of speech allows you to say what you want unless it leads to the harm of someone else. A bit of a slap to the face of the abusers of this freedom.

Freedom of speech isn't entirely non-punishable, if you abuse too much of this, well, you can pay for the consequences.. sometimes, you need laws or rules to calm it.
Freedom of speech= used against a governement=/= random strangers aren't the governement.

That is totally somebody I know at school.
My best guy friend (I have a crush on him :3) and I asked him to just leave us alone and he said "BAWWWW I HAV FREDUM UF SPECH F U FU" he kept saying that over and over again until I broke down. Right in front of my crush. How embarrassing is that?! If you keep saying you have freedom of speech over and over again even if I ask you to, then that's not making a point. That's bullying.

freedom of speech doesn't excuse from being a bitch.

Freedom of speech doesn't mean you get to say whatever you want without any consequences whatsoever, it means that you can say whatever you want without getting into legal trouble (so long as what you say isn't one of the few specific exceptions to that rule). People who try to use "freedom of speech" as an excuse need to learn that it applies to everyone, so if they can post a hateful comment to somebody on the internet, they have no right to complain about getting hateful replies in return.

It does whenever it's obvious that it has nothing to do with the government arresting you, or whenever it does have to do with matters of opinion. It's a freedom that you can say whatever you want to start a conversation and socialize, on some incidents.
But yes, there are people who basically do this. And it is not always having to do with that right/freedom; it's only a right. It has nothing to do with private matters, subjects, or whatever you do to start insulting, harass, or do whatever is negative and harmful to the guy you are typing to. The right is only to let you talk, and talk, and talk (or type), without, most importantly, having the government to punish you or arrest you.

Hmmm mkay, I love Greninja so much, but I am so sick and tired these motherfuckin Greninja haters in das motherfuckin website!!!(snakes in the plane reference) I get that you don't like Greninja, I understand that, but dat doesn't mean not gonna put up with these bullshit hate art and comments say about him/her, "Greninja is a frog ninja faggot", "greninja's tongue scarf is creepy and gay", "Greninja is such a low tier in SSB", " Greninja is extremely overrated". I'm fed up with that crap, it had to confront haters of someone I love (Clarence for example) I would aim my Storm PSR sniper at them, charging it and shot their retarded looking faces and watch that shit bloodsplatter, back then Fennekin was like xbox 360, Chespin is the Wii and Froakie is the ps3, because the Xbox 360 and Wii was more successful than the PS3. and Mewtwofags, don't get me started on those type of people. since April 8, 2014 when Nintendo Direct revealed Greninja and Charizard were confirmed for Super Smash Bros. 3DS and Wii U, people were bitchin about mewtwo not being in the new SSB, I played as mewtwo in melee and controlling him was just a cut to the balls, The game hasn't came out yet so being fuckin patience asswipe! I'm not saying I hate the Gen VI starters and mewtwo, but people needs to chill the motherfuck out with this Greninja hate shit! I'll tell you what honestly, Greninja is my nigga homie! X NO HOMO
