That's not what i meant. Every person looses their cool one day. What if the person provokes you and you end up insulting him or similar situations.That's what i was referring to. 

Then you may need to learn self-control at that point.

Everyone is different and also what if a 10 year old insults you , will the same action be taken? Come on it's a kid then.

Anyway why do websites have administrators , moderators and such to deal with this stuff , just let them do their thing.

Freedom of Speech doesn't imply you can just insult people whenever you want.

 

Another child who doesn't understand that freedom of speech is a social-philosophical concept and not entirely legal...

The Internet is the first thing that humanity has built that humanity doesn't understand, the largest experiment in anarchy that we have ever had.

Of course it is. This forum is 90% teenage drama queens that just want something to be angry about.

 

Edit: And I cringe every time someone pulls out the "Freedom of Speech" card, not even understanding what the 1st amendment actually means.

 

Again, another child.

I consider them to be a child - self control is not inherently valid there. The child's brain is still developing and I don't expect it to know any better.

I didn't say it had anything to do with legality. I don't see how my view makes me a child.

Actually it does. What you can't do is threaten, or harass them. Insulting someone is not necessarily harassment

But the problem is, most people these days are so easily offended they see it as harassment, because "feels dude", hell people already feel harassed when you say something like "fuck off idiot"

(Dont let me start about feminazis)

May the light have your back and your ISO low.

Honestly, if people realized that you shouldn't give a fuck as to what some one says, the world would have a lot less problems. What exactly can words do to you when you actually take a step back and think?

Wow EU, be more retarded. Almost as retarded as The UN

I'm from EU and I feel offended. Now I'm gonna milk this forum so much they'll only be able to afford consoles. Meanwhile in reality...

The ability to google properly is a skill of its own.

Well there is slander and defamation of character type situations. And those aren't typically just a small fine.

In case the moderators do not ban me as requested, this is a notice that I have left and am not coming back.

There's also disturbing the peace and disorderly conduct.

Actually it doesn't. Like most developed countries in the world, the court recognizes that your rights are not absolute and are subject to limitations and exceptions. For example, if what you said starts a fight (you said something really rude and a fight broke out because of it) then your speech is not protected. There's a few other limitations, but I'm sure you can Google to find them.

On top of that, you could be charged with disorderly conduct/disturbing the peace if you go around swearing at people.

Indeed, but to some extent, the law allows for you to express your opinion, offensive or not. That's why the KKK is legally allowed to have parades in the US. (admittedly, bad example lol). Not to mention the argument "I didn't start the fight, I expressed my opinion, and they chose to react with violence". There's always a grey area. Even more so when lawyers are involved.
