- Zetice 3y agoNo it doesn’t, you can easily be prevented from speaking in the first place.
- pessimizer 3y agoAre you talking about cutting people's tongues out, or prior restraint? Because you don't know who to restrain if they haven't already said something. As a consequence of things you've said in the past, or things that you have just said and have not yet been distributed, you can have that distribution limited or prevented. All of them are consequences.
- Zetice 3y agoIf your point is causality exists, okay. If your point is that the 1st amendment is an absolute freedom of speech, you couldn't be more wrong.

- maximinus_thrax 3y agoI'm a naturalized American citizen who figured out what free speech actually means when studying for the civics test. I suggest everyone try it out if only to dispel the popular myth of 'free speech means everyone can say whatever whenever'.

- maximinus_thrax 3y ago> Why don't you explain it Why should I? Just reading the wikipedia page on the first amendment would clarify most if not all popular culture myths about freedom of speech in America.
- predictabl3 3y agoIt would undermine the single implicit response and rallying crying used by a bunch of (certain people) right now, so, there's a bit of fingers-in-ears going in.
- Zetice 3y agoWhy would you believe him even if he took the time? Demanding people explain basic shit to you is a form of trolling, just FYI.
