Lets play a game. Take a post you previously posted in some thread in the forum and find a short poem by marking words in that posts.

All topics should be allowed to be discussed, but it not a right to be allowed to do so at all times or places.

For example:
Lets say we have a club for [stamp collectors] going there to discuss stamps. I think they should have the right to define that during club meeting, you should talk mostly about stamps, and perhaps some small talk, not advocate any politics.

But there [should always be] a space in our society where you should be allowed to discuss it. Someone personal blog perhaps.

But. A big but here. All topics should be allowed to be discussed, but there are [messengers] and propaganda that shouldn't be allowed to be spread, [for the protection of] human rights and lives.

Examples:
-In Uganda last year they published a list of [suspected] homosexual and where they lived with the headline "HANG THEM" and since then people havebeen murdered and have had go into hiding.
-A second horrible example could be Radio Rwandan and Radio Télévision Libre des Mille Collines before and during the Rwandan Genocide. Where 20% of the population was killed.

We can all agree on assisting [mass murder] or genocide is wrong, but there is a big gray area. It not okay to encouraging mass murder, but is it okay to encourage discrimination? To say that you personally hate a group of people? That you dislike them etc?

I think the limitations of freedom of speech needs to be constantly debated and discussed to in each time and place find as a good balance as possible between freedom and limitations.
