Description
"Freedom of Speech doesn't just apply to things that you agree with!"The amount of times I've been told: "U SHULD DELTEZ YR COMMENTZ CUZ ITZ OFFUNDED MEEEEEEE!!11"
"U HAZ NO RIGH TU EXPRUS UR OPINIONZ HEREZ!11"
"I DUNT ARUEE WIDTH U S00O PIZZ OFFFFF"!!!"
"U SHULD DELTEZ DIS PUGE CUZ I DUN AGUEE WIDH IT11"
And so on
I will NEVER tell anyone to delete their comments from one of my stamps. I would never tell anyone that they had no right to express their opinion on my stamps nor would I tell them to piss off. And I would NEVER tell anyone to take down/censor their art/page just because I might not agree with it.
SO WHY CAN'T PEOPLE DO THE SAME?

Due the number of people who go on and on about freedom of expression, but as long as you share their opinions, this stamp is brutally true and more people should read it

Was it Voltaire who said 'I disagree with what you say, and I'll defend to the death your right to say it' ?

I just hate when people on you tube delete comments that don't agree with their beliefs.

I almost agree. But there's also speech that's triggering that I don't think should be allowed in public or on online forums (That don't warn you first). Jokes about rape or murder are fine in your home or in e-mails/chats with friends, but if you meet someone on the street or a random person online then it really isn't ok to just belt something like that out. I always feel that just because it's the internet doesn't mean it's acceptable to not take someone else's feelings into consideration. If being hidden behind a digital wall makes you act like a jackass then you really need to reevaluate yourself.

The only exceptions would be when its hate speech, which is not included in freedom of speech;
"Hate speech is a communication that carries no meaning other than the expression of hatred for some group, especially in circumstances in which the communication is likely to provoke violence. It is an incitement to hatred primarily against a group of persons defined in terms of race, ethnicity, national origin, gender, religion, sexual orientation, and the like. Hate speech can be any form of expression regarded as offensive to racial, ethnic and religious groups and other discrete minorities or to women." [link]
A lot of people forget that.

Thanks :] It just bothers me when people say stuff like "God hates faggots, they need to be stoned to death!" and then claim free speech and that they have the right to an opinion, even though hate speech is NOT protected free speech.
