If you mean freedom to speak without consequence or censorship... I don't think it ever existed.

I think it is a government conspiracy. They say there is freedom of the press and free speech, but that is as long as it is censored first and they can keep out of the press what they want. In addition, you cannot always say what you want because people can sue you for slander. So it is a double standard.

Sure as long as it doest offend anyone,piss anyone off, or contradict what the "powers that be" Diem to be true.
Freedom of speech is a term used to make the government fell like they give use a say, when in reality it is the freedom to agree or shut up

Yes it still exists as long as it isn't hate speech, obscenity, and defamation.

Yes, In the USA you are allowed to say anything you want. Whether or not people agree with you, you do still have the right to say it.

Nope, we are constantly censored and if we jokingly say something, someone always takes it the wrong way and blows everything out of proportion!

No.
You can even get arrested in some extreme cases for speaking your mind if it isn't the popular opinion.
