Answer 1

Pretty good idea.

Answer 2

FCC Chairman Genachowski reported he strongly believes interior the 1st exchange and does not think of the FCC must be in touch in censorship in line with political speech and opinion. Republican FCC Commissioner Robert McDowell, who even have been given his renomination reported he did no longer have any concerns that the value might reimpose it, saying he might take Genachowski at his word. McDowell has spoken out strongly against the fairness Doctrine, besides as different proposed rules he thought ought to result broadcaster speech or company. He reiterated his undertaking that the government no longer upload any pointless regulatory problems to a company suffering to locate its footing in an greater and greater aggressive industry. Obama KILLED the fairness Doctrine and "Localism" with those appointments! Obama might have been born the day previous, yet he stayed up all nite! He won't play with the 1st or 2nd Amendments! Obama knows that exhuming the fairness Doctrine may be a frontal attack upon the 1st exchange that should evoke a Boston Tea celebration-like reaction. He knows that walking via the minefield of the 2nd exchange may be explosive, and if he steps on one, a "Bouncing Betty" will seem interior the style of the NRA ! ! !

Answer 3

There is no such thing as freedom of speech in the west. If you say something about the holocaust, like that guy did in England and even in the US, you're jailed. If the Beatles say they're more popular than Jesus(pbuh), they cancel a tour. If some former government writes a book by the name of Spycatcher, it is banned. There are so many banned books in the west. It is only when people say insulting and untruthful things about Islam that suddenly the west becomes the champion of freedom of speech. I know, I have studied western hypocrisy.

Answer 4

No, because the idea of free speech is to enable anyone to express their POLITICAL opinion, without fear of repression. It is not a right to insult other people's religion, customs or beliefs.

The Second Amendment defines our Right to Keep and Bear Arms. This is basic to the God-given right of self defense. Do you think that going up in a building and shooting at people would be the universal symbol of the right to keep and bear arms?

We are talking about abuse of rights. We are talking about the difference between freedom and license. Freedom is the ability to do or say what you want responsibly. License is doing or saying what you want, regardless of the consequences.

When you abuse freedom, you loose it.

Answer 5

Is free speech the right to degrade?Then everything goes even things that are dear to you, who cares, free speech. What is the point of free speech? What is the spirit of free speech? Is it something that spreads hate, ignorance, degradation? Do not use free speech as a disguise for your HATRED!

Answer 6

No. And why compare a ridiculous cartoon (not even a very well-drawn one) to a beautiful dove?

Answer 7

first make freedom of speech universal in Germany.

Answer 8

While there are MANY things I would attribute to Muhammad, "free speech" is NOT one of them. So, no.

Answer 9

Hopless,lost, spiteful attempts,,

History will protect his honor upon your noses,,
Only successful symbols subjects to evil like,,,,,,,,

Answer 10

It's a symbol of rudeness, stupidity and intolerance and extreme insensitivity.

Then again, so is the muslim reaction to it.

Answer 11

I think it should be a naked Muhammad Cartoon and be pictured on postage stamps, posters, T-shirts, cereal boxes, bill-boards along side a naked Jesus.
