Summary

Free Speech Rights Protect US from YOUR Feelings. That is the point, that there are certain freedoms and entitlements that cannot be inhibited, denied, or revoked based on how you feel about something.People often say that our freedoms dont end where your feelings begin but in truth our rights begin the moment you get offended. Think about it, we don't need to enshrine speech rights for speech that everyone agrees with because it faces no threat. But speech that is disagreeable is constantly under threat so we decided to codify our right to self expression and speech so that YOUR feelings would not prevent dialectic and our right to express our emotions.DISCLAIMER: Incitement, Threats, Libel, Slander, are not free speech and cross the boundaries of self expression.
