One classic example is the proverbial 'yelling fire in a crowded theater' - in other words, intentionally causing a panic or other situation in which someone might get hurt.
Another example, established by statute, is that a clear and explicit threat of harm to the President is a federal crime. Because an assassination would be detrimental to the entire country, any threats have to be taken seriously and you can't have someone creating disruptions by doing that just for amusement.

EX: President George Bush requests that all protesters that are around his area, that all people must me so many feet away. I read this somewhere, sorry I can't remember. But, no other President has gone to such extremes to keep protesters at bay. He said, it wasn't that he was against us protesting,,(right...) He just didn't like it. Also, it takes us far away from him, and it keeps us from that freedom. In the court room you can not speak without being asked to do so, and you can REALLY say what you want - without a Judge threatening to send you to the county jail. The Judge wants an attorney to talk for you, well - we all know that attorneys and Judge's are in all of this together. But, they don't tell the client that they could go to jail (personal experience), they make a plea bargain. I live in Oklahoma and the system here is "who you know," like many others. Once I was wearing a Halloween costume and was going only a block away from home in the day light to scare my daughter and her friends. Well, the cops came by and told me I could not wear a costume unless it was a parade or Halloween. Well, that's all I have for you. Good Luck!

Pornography and racism. I respect the use of the nude in art and photography. By racism, I am referring to hate literature, harassment, denial of past events, and deliberate attempts to create a racist political group or regime, not dumb jokes about cheap Chinese people.
Kids don't rebel because their parents let them listen to old Nirvana, the Clash, Slipknot, hiphop and reggae. They go against authority because their parents are not there. There are a lot of social and personal problems out there. Some people have mental ilnesses or drug problems. Some are neglected. Some have been abandoned by their fathers.

There are many more than two.
Certain types of speech are entirely unprotected -- true treats, solicitation to commit crimes, conspiracy, fraud, defamation, incitement to imminent violence, etc.
Certain types of speech can be limited because of their nature -- commerical advertising or obscenity, for example.
And all types of speech can be limited in when and where and how they can be expressed -- the "time-place-manner" restrictions that allow for parade licenses, and noise abatement ordinances.
Talking about all of them in any detail would take dozens or hundreds of pages -- as it does in any lawbook on the topic.

Dangerous speech: Inciting a crowd to riot. Shouting fire in a crowded theater. Advocating the violent overthrow of the government. Sedition.
False speech: Libel, Slander, Fraud.
Obscenety. A difficult one to define but supposedly you know it when you see it.

Children - they are not at the age of consent.
Obscenity - there are laws preventing the non-consentual exposure of people to obscenity.
