Freedom Of Speech: All Words Ain’t Free!

Freedom of speech is an absolute right, but there are many limits to what we can say and do. These come from the law in some countries like America where you’re free as long as your words don’t break any laws; or social norms (e..g., profanity) if not speaking appropriately around people who might be offended by it;  Plus, our conscience will tell us when something isn’t kosher enough for moral purposes even though it is technically within safe boundaries. That...
