Freedom of speach

[GOD]

Should there be legal and social limits to absolute freedom of speach ? Should rasists and other sick bastards be allowed to spread their poison disguised as freedom of speach ? Is it abuse of this forum when sick bastards use it to spread verbal poison ?

It is their right to have and express there own opionins, it's up to us as indivudals or masses to either agree to disagree and get on with life, or just ignore them completely.

What about hitler ? What about spreading poison about asians , africans , jews and / or muslims ? What if thick people "think" that what they say and / or hear is right and hurt others or cause others to hurt others ?

In germany there is a saying wich roughly means "Take care of the beginings" meaning one has to do something when one observes sickness and not after it has been spread and poisons the whole culture .

That's why I remember it ~8 years after reading it.

Damn. It brushes my memory and construct detection about all those scenario's I have ever seen that apply to that quote.
