I spent 12 years in the military with a willingness to die in the defense of that freedom, even for people that I consider pieces of shit. Maybe it was an illusion, that is debateable, but to me that freedom included the right to say shit I fucking can not stand.
Until you are willing to put your life on the line to defend those freedoms, whether you like the message that that freedom allows or not, then I must say fuck off... you are merely a 'spectator citizen'.
HOWEVER, guess what, I love the fact that you have the right to piss me off and spout off stupid shit.
To answer your question more simply...YES, I love having the RIGHT to have that quarrel with someone... They deserve the right to free speech and I deserve the right to tell them to go bleed somewhere.
PS: I am not a pornographer, but if I were I'd want the right to piss someone off and the ability to debate it freely in public. I like to keep my love of the chinese culture to their martial arts and food, not their politics.
