We are not protecting people wacking off to thought crimes envolving children, we are protecting all forms of speech that the majority may not like.

The idea of "free speech" is about speaking out against a government... not about screaming "FIRE!!" in a movie theater. "Free speech" doesn't mean "say anything you want, anywhere you want to anyone you want about anything you want"
Everyone loves to drag the Constitution into the discussion and start talking about "Free Speech" as if there are no laws that define what you can and can't say and under what circumstances and where you can say things.
The argument about protecting the speech you hate is retarded... you wouldn't tolerate people calling you a rapist or pedophile and printing that in a magazine or newspaper... yet all your arguments defend that very thing.
some of you kids really neeed to grow up. life is not about you against authority... its a shame that so many of you live your lives as if it is. what a waste.
