I would like to understand more about freedom of speech.
They say that freedom of speech allows you to discuss or talk about any topic u want. What I have found is that by using freedom of speech there are always insults and no respect.Is that true? Alot of people think that when they use freedom of speech they have to insult ur religion or make fun of ur colour and much more....and when u ask them why ? they say "freedom of speech" This I dont understand.

I feel the idea of freedom of speech came about to our ancestors who believed that we would be responsible in using it. I guess today, people are getting more irresponsible and ignorant about why certain rights have been given.
It is implicit that whenever a right has been given to a person, he is entrusted with the reponsiblity to make good use of it. So, we are forgetting the "resposiblity" part and making the right an unqualified one which is not true.

Freedom of Speech as you understand it is not 100% free but guided freedom. It is guided by our own upbringing; respect, honor, religion and culture.

Because those are things that are disputed if they're allowed to say it. But they say they do because they can according to the constitution. I mean, do you think that if you tell somebody that they are beautiful, they will tell you "You have no right to say that." They wouldn't say that about the bad things too, but they wouldn't like it that you can say it. So religion bashers use it to their advantage to make believers more angry.
