How free should free speech be?

No one knows what they are willing to die for until they see the gun.
some have principles that are non-negotiable
and
they know what they are willing to die for

The First Amendment to the United State's Constitution:
Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.
The Constitution acknowledge's the already existing freedom of speech (it does not establish or create it), and the Supreme Court is the authoritative interpreter of what that freedom of speech is.I'd imagine that somebody somewhere has listed all the Supreme Court decision's that further develop and clarify exactly what the freedom of speech is. This is basically the answer to you're question.

A lot of people think that. Some are even right. But nobody knows until they see the gun.
Yes but we must not write about trins.
Different goalposts. You have the right here to follow the rules or start your own site.Yes but we must not write about trins.
Surely saying non-trins do this or that is not disruptive. By way of there is an active thread about trinity belief. Are you saying many in that thread should receive infractions?Different goalposts. You have the right here to follow the rules or start your own site.

Will you be starting a thread on it?
on what? I don't care about trins vs non-trins

If the ungodly idiots outnumber us, we're where we find ourselves today. :chuckle:
Yep. The first amendment exists to protect unpopular political speech. The majority view does not need protecting.
Surely it's about context and habit. Hers is to use any pretext to attack orthodoxy. She can have her heresy, advanced and rebutted, but she can't hijack any thread with it just because she wants to.
Why not? You hijack any thread that suits your fancy just because you want to. What makes you special?
None of that's true, so addressing the particulars is a waste of time and it was unresponsive (no surprise there) on the points I raised
Meshak's problem is that she can't be satisfied, apparently, until she's turned any excuse into an attack on the trinity, itself heretical, and the people who believe in it. Which would be the overwhelming majority of Christendom. That's not being aware of where you are or not being reasonably restrained in how you address where you are.

That's a ridiculous thing to say....untrue and uncalled for. :down:
many know each time they vote
It's not a crime to joke about bombs at an airport. It is profoundly stupid, since the TSA is trained to look for any sort of thing that might conceivably be related to a bomb.
A student with a LED jacket was tackled by a couple of security people, and hauled away because some ditz at a gate thought it must be a bomb. And even after they found that it was completely harmless and not in any way intended to look like a bomb, they wanted to pursue felony charges against her.
Star was an intern at Squid Labs this summer, and is an all-around awesome geek who loves to build things. FYI, friends at MIT say she wears the hoodie on a regular basis- it's just unfortunate that she had it on while trying to pick a friend up at the airport. MIT students don't really do mornings, or worry about what they're wearing, so I can't imagine she'd even think about her clothes before heading out to pick up a friend at the airport before 8am.
When Star gets out we'll have her do an Instructable on
1) how to get arrested at the airport without being shot, and
2) how to package your homemade electronics to look purchased.
Maybe BB and Instructables should start handing out some official-looking stickers and plastic covers to make breadboards look more commercial -- it will keep our readers away from automatic weapons.

Far as I can see, police pushed charges because they didn't want to look stupid for arresting her in the first place.
Never underestimate the stupidity of TSA agents.
