Not really, Lots of people have said about this, but I cant but any racist views i might have on here (i don't have any btw) without being banned and deleted, or insult, possibly swear. All of which you can't do in public aswell, racist comments, or swear. the media arent allowed to say lots of things, due to legal implications, and also many companies wil go to hell and back to make sure certain information about the ocmpany doesnt get said (i.e. tobbaco companies and the damging effect, took many many years, and alot of abuse of one guy) so not really, no.

I think we would understand and appreciate freedom of speech more if we lived in a country that did not permit.

Hell yeah. In America these muthafuckas protesting the war and all. Other countries you can't say **** about your gov't without being strung up by your genitals for saying anything bad. **** people in America don't know how good they got it man. Got the nerve to ***** about the little things and all.

Yes, there is freedom of speech. There is NOT freedom from consequence. Think about it.

Yeah.. in most countries, in most societies, there is. This thing(yahoo answers) we are in is definitely a self-expression scenario. We feel free to ask and answer questions, ryt?

These days it certainly does not seem like it, I'm sure it used to, but it's starting to fade away.

No, because we are not allowed to abuse people/groups. But that's fair I guess.
